Redd’s Ace Hardware

Redd’s Ace Hardware was established in 1909 as the “Grayson Co-op”. The original general store was established by the founding settlers of the new community of “Grayson Utah”. The mercantile was established as a way for these individuals to have access to the supplies they needed to allow them to prosper in the new community. In 1911 Parley Redd was hired to manage the new store for the community. Parley worked very hard and began purchasing stock shares owned by the other members of the community. In 1938 Parley had purchased the last of the remaining stock owned by the community and in doing so became the sole owner of the corporation. After taking ownership of the company Parley changed the name of the store to Parley Redd’s Mercantile. The store has continued under the ownership of the Redd family from 1911 until today. When you visit Redd’s today, we hope that you will find the same sense of community that the store was founded on.
