Harry and Chris Gil first opened Harry’s True Value Hardware store in West Allis in February of 1985.  Harry and Chris purchased the business from Tim O’Brian in 1985. In 2000, the Gil family moved the hardware store to Franklin in its current location on 76th and Rawson. In 2011 we joined the Ace family and haven’t looked back.

In January of 2016 the Gil family purchased the South Milwaukee location for Dave Micale and his wife Carol.  We are thrilled to carry on our family-owned tradition at our South Milwaukee store, a local family-owned business since 1995.

On January 8th 2018 the Gil family opened their 3rd location in Germantown next to Pick N Save in the Germantown Marketplace. We are excited to extend our family-owned and operated business with our wonderful neighbors in the Washington County area.

On April 1st 2019 the Gil family opened their 4th location in Wauwatosa taking over the old Puhl’s True Value on 68th & Milwaukee Ave.  We are excited to extend our family-owned and operated business with our wonderful new neighbors in the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee area.

On November 1st  2022 the Gil family opened their 5th location in St. Francis taking over the old Greg’s True Value on Layton Ave.  We are excited to extend our family-owned and operated business with our wonderful neighbors in the St. Francis, Cudahy, and Bay View area.
