25 Famous Hardware Stores, Lumberyards, and Home Improvement Centers in Upstate New York

Photo by Tyler A. McNeil, via Wikimedia Commons, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. There was a time when a home improvement project in Upstate New York began with a trip to a familiar hardware store, lumberyard, or neighborhood home center. Maybe it was a leaky pipe in a Rochester two-family house, a porch that needed new boards in the Southern Tier, or another winter spent trying to keep the snowblower working in Western New York. Before the largest warehouse chains dominated so many commercial strips, local owners, family businesses, cooperatives, and regional chains supplied the parts and advice that kept homes running.

Two new Trader Joe's stores are planned for New York, expanding the popular grocery chain's presence in the state. The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year.

According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area.

Grant became familiar names across the country, but another chain with deep roots in Western New York also belonged to that world: Neisner’s.
