Recognizing Beman Hardware as Granby’s oldest small business
In November 2025, the Granby Board of Selectman recognized Beman Hardware for its 90 years of service in the Granby Community.

Beman Hardware flourished as a family business for three generations until it was purchased by long-time employee Vinnie Pagano in October 2022. The current store was built in 1973 at the site of the original warehouse.
