Nation’s Best acquired three-location South Texas Hardware bringing its total location count to 63 across the United States.

“South Texas Hardware operates three neighborhood hardware stores in Castroville, Lytle, and Somerset, all situated just south and west of San Antonio,” Tina Green, regional vice president of operations at Nation’s Best, said. “For nearly 40 years, this family-run business has excelled at offering great, small-town customer service, supporting their communities, and growing their business. We are honored to carry that legacy forward and are proud to welcome the South Texas Hardware team to the Nation’s Best family.”

South Texas Hardware offers a range of products and services, including paint, patio furniture, plants, tools, convenience lumber, and building materials.

“We love being a part of these smaller communities with strong population growth trends, and we look forward to offering the South Texas Hardware staff the rich benefits that Nation’s Best is able to offer,” Green said.

South Texas Hardware will maintain operations under its existing name. Its team will oversee company operations alongside Nation’s Best, providing the strategic and financial support for optimal growth and profitability.
