Huffstutlerโs Hardware, a Homewood original, closing this fall
Reading time: 2 minutes

Huffstutlerโs Hardware, Homewoodโs beloved neighborhood hardware store for nearly a century, is closing later this fall.
A Homewood original, according to Bhamwiki, the store first opened its doors in the 1930s.
The city of Homewood was established in 1926.
Previously located on the block where Soho Square/Homewood City Hall now stands, Huffstudlerโs moved to its present location at 2732 Central Ave. in the early 2000s.
Confirmed
Bham Now visited the hometown hardware store a couple of weeks ago when we had received a tip it was planning to close. Several longtime staffers confirmed the store was closing. They told us it would take several months to liquidate the storeโs inventory.
This past week, a large โstore closingโ banner was placed at the entrance.
There are also numerous handwritten notes on the two front doors announcing closeout sales and operation times. Here are several of the messages:
- Closeout Sale on Rental โ 50% off
- Dance Floor for sale โ $250.00
- 4 Foot Bars for sale white or brown $1,000
- Large liquidation Sale on hardware items โ most items are 40% off

โHuffstutlers name has been synonymous with Homewoodโ
Over the weekend, we were able to receive a statement from Homewood Mayor Patrick McClusky about the hardware storeโs pending departure.
โItโs always hard to see a staple from the community make the difficult decision to move on, but when you think of the iconic representation that Huffstutlers has had in Homewood, it hurts just a little worse. The Huffstutlers name has been synonymous with Homewood for decades, and while itโs a sad day for our city, we wish them the very best. Homewood will miss you!!
Whatโs Next
The area in and around Huffstutlerโs is changing dramatically with the removal of several nearby buildings around the Dance Foundation and the newly relocated Cahaba Cycles.
Stay tuned with Bham Now in the coming months to see whatโs next.
