Osage Hardware of Osage City, has been recognized as the 2021 Emerging Business of he Year for the Kansas Small Business Development Center, or SBDC, at Emporia State University. Osage Hardware is a small town hardware store and garden center, owned by Colton and Danielle Hallgren. With a desire to contribute to their Community, they purchased Osage Hardware in 2018 to provide a needed service to Osage City and the surrounding areas.
During the buying process, the Hallgrens faced a few challenges, leading them to reach out to the Kansas SBDC at Emporia State University for assistance.
One advantage, Osage Hardware provides services and products that can’t be found anywhere else in the Community. The Hallgrens pride themselves in owning a business in Osage City that provides phenomenal customer service, creating a place where customers are comfortable, whether it is a routine purchase or that tricky do-it-yourself repair that requires some expert advice.
