Looks like they've closed shop, anyone know if it's just a relocation? Although pricey, they're good for some local specialty purchases.

Completely closed. I picked up an online order there a couple months ago and the manager said they company is closing "many of it's stores" and trying to build it's online retail.

Is there any other local place to get stainless steel hardware beyond bolts and screws? Im talking cleats, eyelets, pulleys, etc.

You can get some Chinese made hardware at Basspro that will work in a pinch. Boats unlimited on Airline has a few things but the issue with that is you have to go to boats unlimited. Other than those two I can't really think of any other places that stock hardware.

I went before it closed and the manager said lack of business forced them to close. He wants them to relocate the store on airline towards prairieville. He said once the mall and hospital moved business has gone down. Hopefully they re open a store although pricey they usually always had what you needed

I'm not sure if the locations or the hours were the worst part of their retail strategy...
