Hartville Hardware to Open Early Fall 2025
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
Construction of the 80,000square-foot Hartville Hardware store in Middlefield Village is on schedule, no thanks to the layers of sandstone that needed to be excavated so the project could begin last spring.
“We knew the stone was there. We tested it prior to buying the land. We were just uncertain how to break it up,” said Gary Sommers, CEO of HRM Enterprises Inc, parent company of Hartville Hardware.
He and his brother, Scott Sommers, president of HRM in Wayne County, spoke Sept. 26 above a sea of mud surrounding the steel-framed structure in the background.
Huge trucks and equipment crawled through the soggy ground, but neither Sommer seemed deterred, noting they were just glad to get the building under roof.
The underlying sandstone is piled up by Kinsman Road until it is used onsite to ameliorate the 30foot elevation drop from the state route.

Faith Matters Countdown to Eternity
The average life span for an American male is around 75 years, while a woman typically lives closer to 80 years. If you take 77.5 years as an average, you get 28,287.5 days.
A 25-year-old person probably figures there are still plenty of days left to live. However, if you are an older guy like me, you are thinking, “My days are on planet Earth are winding down.”
Of course, none of knows for sure how long we have until we depart. We have all known people who died suddenly due to a tragic accident, unexpected sickness or some other unfortunate circumstance. Regardless of how many days our final total adds up to, we can only live one day at a time. We have the present moment to experience the gift of life. That’s it.
we are not ultimately in control. God is working in our lives according to His divine plan and purpose.
One of my favorite verses in Proverbs tells us that, “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” We need to approach our lives with humility, acknowledging that God may intervene according to His own wisdom. We are reminded of the words of Scripture that warn us not to have a presumptuous attitude regarding our plans for today or tomorrow. Instead, we ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live, and do this or that.”
By Roger Kruse
No wonder the Bible tells us that, “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” It makes no sense to camp out looking backwards and rehearsing the past. Nothing we can do will change what has already taken place. On the other hand, the future is still out of reach. We cannot be sure we will be around tomorrow.
So how do we make the most of the days we have? Actually, that was the prayer of Moses as we see it in Psalm 90:12. “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” The apostle Paul gave us a similar exhortation when he told us to “redeem the time” and “make the most of every opportunity.” How do we do that?
Some folks are great planners. They love to schedule their lives in specific detail. A structured life seems to fit them best. Others prefer to take things as they come. They are open to the spontaneous and serendipitous nature of life. It would seem both approaches have validity. Seeking a balance might be best.
One factor we need to make allowance for is the sovereign hand of God. In other words,
Because of the uncertainty and brevity of life, we need to live wisely, with eternity in mind. This earthly life is temporary. However, our eternal life will last forever. It makes perfect sense to connect with God now in order to discover His good purposes. Embracing an authentic faith in Jesus will enable us to build our lives on a solid foundation that will stand the test of our forever life. Remember, “we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.”
Let me encourage you to pursue a faith in God that lines up with His Word. Read the Bible each day and discover what is pleasing to the Lord. His will for your life and mine, is good. The blessings and gifts you enjoy each day come down from your heavenly Father. Ask Him to teach you, guide you, and enable you to walk humbly with Christ. God gives His Holy Spirit to those who know and love Jesus. His indwelling presence brings us power, peace, and joy. In addition, we receive His unconditional love, as demonstrated when Christ died on the Cross for you. Finally, we gain the blessed assurance that He is preparing for us an eternal home.
Roger Kruse is a fellow traveler, still learning to trust and obey God each day. The Lord is faithful. We can depend on Him.
Hardware from page 1
“The rock was a little bit of a stumbling block, but since then, (the project) has gone really well,” Gary said.
The long stretches of dry weather over the summer made up for the rock-digging delay, and the project is now on schedule, he said.
The building is clad in bright yellow DensGlass, used in steel construction like plywood is used in wooden-frame construction, Scott said, adding it will be covered with siding before too long.
In March 2024, Sherpa Development LLC, the construction arm of HRM, presented plans to Middlefield Village Planning Commission for the 81,000-square-foot hardware store, 36,120 square-foot indoor drivethrough lumber yard, four-storage structures totaling more than 40,000 square feet, 280 parking spaces, four loading docks and a trash compactor bay.
Overall, Hartville will have more than 175,000 square feet under roof by the store opening — currently predicted for early fall of 2025, Scott said.
“There are no plans for a restaurant,” Gary said emphatically, referring to a previous erroneous report.
Years of Planning
Planning to build in Middlefield Village has taken years.
To connect to village sewer and water, the 20-plus acres had to be annexed from Middlefield Township to the village, a process the Geauga County Planning Commission had to approve.
The parcel was rezoned commercial, a delivery driveway created for access on Tare Creek Parkway, and drainage and a detention pond design approved by Geauga County Soil and Water Conservation District.
While all that was progressing, Hartville arranged for Ivan Weaver Construction Inc. of Fredericksburg to be the general contractor, Gary said.
Because it is a two-hour drive from his office, Weaver started seeking local subcontractors, such as J.L. Taylor Co. in Middlefield, who is handling the electrical component of the project, Gary said.
Finding local labor was made easier because Hartville bought Centerra LLC in 2020, formerly known as the Western Reserve Farm Cooperative, on East High Street in the village.
Centerra employees have deep connections in the region, Scott said.
“That team has been so good and the community really welcomed the business,” he said.
It was one reason for the decision to build Hartville’s second-largest facility in Middlefield.
The other was a family connection.
“Our grandmother was born in Burton. Her family owned and operated a business there,” Scott said.
Sarah Shrock Miller was Amish born and the Sommers families follow the Anabaptist theology, Gary said.
“We grew up in the Mennonite tradition. Our faith is extremely important to us,” he said, adding they attend the Maple Grove Mennonite Church in Hartville.
Local Collaboration
Gary noted the township, the village and the county have all supported the new operation from the beginning.
“I can’t emphasize enough how helpful the local government was about working with us to make this happen. (Mayor) Ben Garlich and Leslie (Gambosi-McCoy) in economic development have had a critical role in helping us get to this point. Not all (governments) have been as welcoming and organized,” he said, also crediting those in the Geauga County Commissioners’ office for their assistance. “It’s been a real good experience with everyone involved.”
That led the largest family-owned hardware company in Ohio to invest an estimated $15 million in the community and receive a 10year tax abatement of 75% on improvements to the parcel, which will become a Community Reinvestment Area, as reported in the Dec. 21, 2023 Geauga County Maple Leaf.
Hartville expects to have about 60 employees at the Middlefield site.
“Before we hired our general contractor, we had an estimate. We’re really pleased to see them coming in right in line,” Gary said, adding the cost of steel is lower than it was a couple of years ago.
He and Scott have been visiting the site once or twice a month, but, as details in the building interior are addressed, they expect to be in Middlefield once a week, he said.
Middlefield Village Council and Planning Commission have been working with the Hartville group to cement the relationship into the future.
“Hartville Hardware is a valuable asset to our community,” Gambosi-McCoy said in an email. “We are glad to be able to partner with them on this project to ensure their commitment to the village and the area for years to come.”
