He expressed his thanks and appreciation to everyone for their support over the years. Radmall Hardware will have a going out of business sale Thursday, Thurs-day, Friday and Saturday. Following so close on the heels of the announced closing of Chris-tensen's Chris-tensen's Department Store across the street, the news saddened the community. David Radmall, owner of Radmall Rad-mall Hardware, 15 So. Main St., announced Monday that he would close the store after business on Saturday, Oct. 7. The old line store was opened by Dave's father, Vilace, fortyfive years ago. At that time it was part of the old Gambles chain. Dave said he thought the building build-ing had been owned by Winfield Clark prior to that time and had been a grocery store. Dave noted that he had begun managing the store in 1967. From the beginning, Radmall Hardware has carried hardware items, books, wedding gifts and sold fish and game licenses. In 1980 Dave opened Alpine Book in American Fork. This store will remain open for business. |
