History

Established in 1994.

Our company was started by Robert «Bob» McDonald. After retiring from the Navy, he worked his way up to partner of R.V. Martin Hardware in Miami, FL. He eventually left in 1981 to establish his own hardware store, McDonald Hardware, in Hialeah, FL. The store was successful until Home Depot opened a store directly behind McDonald Hardware in 1991. That is when Bob relocated to Ft. Lauderdale and readied the present store for opening, while still operating the Hialeah location. In order to attract new customers, he decided to sell marine resin at cost, and it worked. This has given McDonald Hardware the customer base that has made us so successful. After Bob’s death in 2000, the store was passed down to his daughter, Kim McDonald, who has been involved in the business since her teens. She continues to operate the family business with pride along with her son Michael.
