One Hardware Store, many taglines.

  • Your local, friendly, one-stop, mom and pop shop.

  • Fast, convenient service - seven days a week - at your own neighborhood store.

  • Over 30,000 items for your every need - home, industrial, commercial.

  • It ain't free but we got it.

  • Where you can expect friendly service unless Skip waits on you.

  • For all your tools and stuff.

  • The Paul Bunyan of small hardware stores.

  • Keeping faith in Haledon since 1973.

History

Skip Tanis opened Tanis Hardware in 1973, when he was the only employee and slept on the bags of grass seed between customers. Skip learned the business by working at Hoskins Hardware in Hawthorne. From a 3500 square foot unit in a shared building, Tanis Hardware has expanded to 14,000+ square feet. Tanis now employs 16 people who pride themselves on friendly and fair service. For the last fifty years, they have been a pillar of the Haledon community. They give back to the community through local scholarship programs, planting street trees, and more.
