Miners Hardware

When a small hardware store in Grover City came up for sale in 1956, brothers Lee and Glen purchased the business for their young families. For the next several years, Lee and Glen (along with their first employee, Wally Lewis) worked tirelessly to build the business. In 1972, Miner's joined Ace Hardware, a buying co-op owned entirely by independent dealers. The years that followed brought significant growth. The Grove Beach store expanded, and the Miner's team went on to open additional locations in Arroyo Grande (1986), Morro Bay (1997), Los Osos (2000), Atascadero (2002), Nipomo (2009), San Luis Obispo (2010), Santa Paula (2017), Goleta (2019), and Paso Robles (2026). Today, President Paul Filice (Mike Miner's son-in-law) continues to look for opportunities to grow and give back to the communities that support Miner's success.
