Springfield Home and Hardware, located at 2982 Derr Road in the Northland Plaza Shopping Center, announced it would be closing in a social media post last month.
“We want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support you have shown us over the years. Your loyalty has meant the world to us, and we sincerely thank you for everything,” a spokesperson for Springfield Home and Hardware said on social media.

Springfield Home and Hardware was closed May 5 to May 11 to prepare for its liquidation sale.
The liquidation sale began May 12, according to the social media post.
The store will be open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Shoppers came ready to find deals on Monday.
News Center 7’s Amber Jenkins spoke with Deb, who lives in Springfield, about the liquidation sale.
“50% off, 90% off, I like a good bargain,” Deb said.
The store had a lot of empty shelves on the first day of the sale, but customers were still able to find items they wanted.
Springfield shopper Joyce Cullars said she bought garage sale signs and weed control just in time for summer.
“It’s sad that they won’t be here to just drop in to get what you need,” Cullars said.
“Businesses seem to be disappearing. It’s sad,” Deb said.
Although Springfield Home and Hardware is closing, there’s another location in Piqua.
But since that store is 45 minutes away, local shoppers said they’ll stick to shopping around town.
“It’s closer for me actually to go to Lowe’s. So, this was a special trip,” Deb said.
