Business basics and civic responsibility have helped an East Coast dealer to thrive, even in tough economic times.

"It's service and price," says Scott Pesavento, owner of Hemlock Hardware, Fairfield, Ct. "This past year was our biggest and best year in 2l yearc."

To stimulate business, he dropped prices on 35Vo of his inventory and plans to reduce prices on almost all the merchandise he sells. "Our industry has contracted," he says. "The weak don't survive."

Pesavento also believes that his business succeeds by working hard to serve the community, by hiring only local residents to work in the store, and supporting local charities-especially in times of disaster.

He says that he cherishes the close connection he feels with regular customers. "I've had people sobbing in my arms," he says. "You can't put a value on that."

After Hurricane Sandy, his store donated several hundred lanterns to those in need. When a winter blizzard shut down power, he stepped up with free flashlights. Last summer, he donated fans to eldedy residents.

"Hemlock Hardware has always been there !o help us in a variety of ways," says police chief Gary McNamara. "lt's such a good partnership."

When a local family has a particular need, such as insulation in cold weather, the police department calls Pesavento. When a weather-related crisis develops, Pesavento contacts police to offer help.

Hemlock Hardware's commitment to community helped it win a national award from its co-op, Do it Best, which has 3,800 member-stores worldwide. Hemlock was the only one in Connecticut to be named a 2013 Hardware Store All Star for outstanding customer service, community involvement, and business acumen.

Pesavento believes that running a small business has its advantages. He doesn't have to answer to shareholders, and his customers enjoy the old-fashioned aspect of direct service and mutual respect.

"My grandfather was a handshake kind of guy," he says, "and so am I."
