FISCHER'S HARDWARE IN SPRINGFIELD VA

 

 

This is the fourth in my series about family owned and operated hardware stores in Northern Virginia.

My first association with Fischer's was in the early '80s.  Our family enjoyed camping and we were constantly on the lookout for items that would make our stay in the woods a bit more enjoyable.  Fischer's was the only place we could find Strike Anywhere Matches.  Since then I have looked to them for antiquing finishes - they have an exceptionally fine inventory of refinishing supplies.

Opened in 1953, Fischer's remains a family owned business.  Old fashioned, friendly service, wide selection and quality are the store's number 1 priority.  They can be found in the Concord Center at Backlick and Commerce.

The other three family owned hardware stores in my series are located in Manassas, Woodbridge, Mount Vernon

I worked at Fischer's in '93-'94 in shipping/receiving with Carlos (older guy from Chile). In fact the reason I found this post (through Google) is because I am watching Bizarre Foods on The Travel Channel right now, and the are in Chile... naturally I thought of Carlos, and thought to look up FH. Carlos would be very very old by now, and I hope he's still kicking. He was one tough old guy!

Ken,  It takes "tough guys" to make a store as excellent as Fischer's to be so well received by the public.  The quality of service has not deteriorated one bit in all the years we have been shopping there,  Karen
