1:43Now PlayingREXBURG – After serving the community for 82 years, one longtime Rexburg hardware store is closing its doors.
“We’re just happy to have the business we’ve had and sorry we have to go,” co-owner Charles Mickelsen says.
Mickelsen’s Home Center on West 1st North has specialized in lumber and hardware since it was founded in 1937 by then-Rexburg Mayor Peter Mickelsen. Now the family is writing the final chapter of the business.
“We’ve always been here, it’s just always been a family thing,” co-owner Dave Mickelsen says.
After putting the business on the market for the last year, the owners say no one has expressed interest and it’s time for them to move on.
“I would have loved to have just sold the business and had somebody else come in and continue serving Rexburg but that hasn’t happened,” Mickelsen says.
