About Us

Our Hardware Story

Thanks for checking in with us today! We are so proud to still be around as a fourth-generation hardware family! Our story begins in 1980 when Mike Drew purchased Merrilees Hardware in Cleves Ohio, keeping the name since it was a well know establishment, and adding two other stores shortly thereafter. You'll now find his son, Dale Drew as our President. Dale is about as old as the paint on the walls in Cleves, he's been around the whole time! Weve been busy updating the stores, with all the help we've had from Dale's daughter Lauren, who runs the operations in our Cleves location. Hardware truly is in the Drew Families blood, because even Mike's father Philip owned Addyston Hardware! We pride ourselves on being a welcome throwback to what hardware stores use to be, a place to come for quality service at great everyday prices! Located in Cleves, Bright and Milan, Merrilees is a full-service hardware store. Stop by and give us a try!
