Pin- The Heath's is actually a True Value Hardware Store. The Aubuchon is up 25 across from Murphy's and Mboro Neck Road. They both seem to be doing fine.

These types of full service hardware stores always seem to take a hit for a while when a big box opens near them, but after a few months customers seem to come flocking back. If the business was shaky to start, the opening of a HD or Lowes will likely be a killer, as was the case here it seems.
