I agree -- summer hours at a lake resort should be extended. Kinda like retail stores extending their hours during the Christmas season.
On the other hand, this might be an opportunity for a small business to set up shop and offer competitive prices and extended hours.
As for Home Depot and Lowes -- notice that their hours are really, really great? Their prices, too. Small, local Hardware Stores can/should compete with those hours and prices if they want to stay in business. The shopping public, by large, isn't going to frequent non-competitive mom and pop stores. Why waste money, when the price, selection, service, and hours are better at the big box stores?
