TD's Sawyers purchase Columbia Hardware in Stevenson, Wash.

By Tom Peterson

The Dalles, June 30, 2023 - The Sawyer family of The Dalles has recently purchased Columbia Hardware at 24 2nd St. in Stevenson according to a recent post on the Stevenson Downtown Association's facebook page.

A post from Greg, Brenda, Dennis and Judy Wiebe, who had operated Columbia Hardware for decades stated the following:

“By days end over four decades ownership of Columbia Hardware by the Wiebe family will transfer to the Sawyer family of The Dalles.

It's been a good run.

Greg, Brenda, Dennis, and Judy would like to extend a most heartfelt thanks to all of our customers and all of the people who have been part of our crew during this time.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you.

Jared Sawyer is fourth generation in the family hardware business. During the past several months, I have gained a deeper appreciation of Jared's passion for people and business; his ambition and drive; his integrity, and his ability to find solutions to the seemingly endless stream of problems, issues, and minor nuisances that go with this kind of change. All with the same soft smile and no visible sign of all the competing stresses I know he's under.

So it is with mixed emotions we announce the sale of Columbia Hardware. However, we are thrilled to pass the torch to Sawyers, as they share our values and beliefs. Family. Community. Exceptional Customer Service.

Columbia Hardware is in good hands.”

CCCNews reached out to Sawyer for comment this afternoon, June 30. However, given the busy holiday weekend, it may be a few days before we can connect.
