On this page, we will be highlighting various businesses around Uptown Wadesboro giving a more in-depth glimpse into the business and its owners.
HW Little & Co., Inc.
H.W. Little & Co., Inc. Hardware Store
There are many special businesses in Uptown Wadesboro and H.W. Little & Co. is one of them. It is also the oldest retail business in Uptown Wadesboro and Anson County. It has been owned and operated by the same family in the same location since 1894.
Geared to the demands of a farm economy at first, the store changed with the times, evolving into a general store. With the help of Uncle Frank and Uncle Tom Little, HW Little & Co. has transitioned to a building supplies store. It now supplies Anson County citizens with lumber, electrical, plumbing, gardening and houseware products, just to name a few. But you can still buy nails by the pound and take them home in a paper bag, not a box. You can even order online from H.W. Little from a huge catalog of items, not just what's in stock at the Wadesboro location.
But what the employees of H.W. Little & Co. treasure the most are the friendships that have been made and kept throughout the many years of service.
