Patty George pushed her shopping cart through Super Foodtown and into the aisles of the new Do-It Best Hardware section picking out brushes, rollers, and a bright new paint color for her daughter’s bedroom. After her daughter’s bedroom, she plans to head into the kitchen of her home where she will try her hand at install­ing new faucets for the first time. Patty is just one of many do-it-yourself women that hardware stores are increasingly courting. More and more women own their own homes or are heads of house­holds. And surveys prove that most home improvement projects are initiated by women. Do-it Best Hardware makes planning for those projects easier.

Do it Best Hardware is just the latest of new additions to the resurrected Smithville Town Center. Since the purchase of the center, Holualoa Arizona, Inc. and Kay Realty Services, LLC have been react­ing to local retail demands and industry trends by creating new opportunities and a better shopping experience for the customer. Other recent openings have included Dollar General, Smitty’s Wine and Spirits and Sunrise Laundromat.

Today, neigh­borhood shopping centers need to offer much more to the consumer than in the past. Due to high gas prices, soaring costs and busy lifestyles shoppers try to combine errands. Smithville Town Center located right in the heart of the Smithville area at the corner of Rt. 9 and Smithville Blvd. has all that plus more! Anchored by Smitty’s Super Foodtown and the new addition of Do-It Best Hardware, the center also offers a variety of retailers to serve your everyday needs.
