McLendon Hardware

McLendon Hardware is a regional, retail home improvement company in the greater Puget Sound area in Washington state. McLendon Hardware's founding father gave us more than a name. He lived for customer satisfaction; grew a business with foresight and tenacity; and refused to be swindled by predatory sales-folks. These days, the latter are handled with more nuance than his previous habit of wielding an axe at the negotiating table, but you get the idea. McLendon Hardware is built on the foundation of legendary customer service and tremendous product selection laid down by Moses Jones McLendon. McLendon Hardware opened in Renton in 1926 and since then we have been supporting our local communities. We see it as a privilege and a priority. As a locally owned and family-operated business, we feel a close connection to our neighbors. We donate to schools, churches and the scouts, and hold annual events to raise awareness and money for local services. We partner with cities, chambers, hospitals, and schools. We receive many donation requests every day and we participate in as many projects and events as possible.
