History

Established in 1948.

McRae’s is now a PRINT & Hardware store that offers Graphic Art setup for Printing & Sign Customers.

We began to offer printing in 1987.

We design and create signs.

McRae’s has associated with Handy Hardware and Lancaster Products to give us the combined buying power of over 6,000 stores to allow us to offer competitive prices to the public.

McRae’s first became a member of ACE Hardware in 1971 until 2005. Even though we are not now an ACE Hardware member, our product offering is essentially the same except for very few products that had the ACE Hardware name.

McRae’s Paint & Hardware is free of the burden of having mandatory participation in very expensive Major Market advertising by ACE Hardware. We were expected to absorb the advertising cost as an expense of doing business as an ACE Hardware Store.

Accreditation

Member of ACE hardware from 1971 to 2005
