Morganton Hardware was begun by J.F. McGimsey Sr. on Union Street in downtown Morganton North Carolina in 1896. The store moved to the present location on W Fleming Dr in 1997 and has been an Ace store since 2000. The current owners, Bill & Becky Branstetter, purchased the business from the McGimsey family in 2003. Becky added a beautiful Christmas and Seasonal shop.
