Description
Orchard Supply Hardware is coming to South Florida!!!
Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) is a leading regional home improvement retailer operating full-service hardware and garden stores on the West Coast in California and Oregon. Orchard is growing and will be opening new stores in South Florida in 2017.
Orchard stores offer a comprehensive selection of hardware, lawn and garden, and specialty products. The company has a rich heritage and was founded in 1931 as a farmers' cooperative in the Santa Clara Valley offering supplies to local growers. Over subsequent
years, the company focused on the retail customer, the do it yourself customer. It became known for offering a strong in-stock position, high customer service, and a broad assortment even though it did not offer building commodities (such as lumber).
Orchard Supply Hardware was acquired by Lowe’s in late 2013. Under Lowe’s ownership, Orchard will continue to expand along the West Coast and in Florida. Lowe’s will operate the business as a stand-alone entity which will continue to be based in San Jose, California.
