Own a piece of Iowa history with this rare opportunity to purchase the iconic New Providence Hardware Store, one of the oldest continuously operating hardware stores in the state. This unique turnkey commercial property includes the fully stocked hardware business, allowing new owners to step in and start generating income from day one.

An added bonus is the connecting business front, which is already rented, providing an immediate secondary income stream and helping to offset ownership costs.

Step into history, take over an established business, and make this landmark hardware store your own.
