“52nd Avenue Hardware” celebrates 52 years: Monday, July 29, Brentwood-Darlington’s 52nd Avenue Hardware and Building Supply Company celebrated 52 years on 52nd Avenue. “In an age of big-box stores, our family businesses has thrived, because we have really good customers who have come to know they’ll get impeccable service from us,” said owner Steve Besaw. “We take care of individual homeowners – some of them have shopped with us for generations – as well as builders, and larger corporate clients – making us one of the only ‘five star rated’ hardware and lumber yards in Portland.” Because of the service ethic, the company continues to be Portland’s leading supplier of set-building supplies and hardware for television and motion picture companies producing films and TV shows in the Portland area – and is currently is supplying three different production companies. You’ll find them where they’ve been for 52 years – at 7100 S.E. 52nd Avenue – or online: http://www.52ndhardware.com
