Our Story

  Sensenig Hardware was founded in 1941 by Christian (Christ) W. Sensenig. The original name of the store back then was C.W. Sensenig & Son. Christ started the business with a harness shop, and also performed shoe repair. Through the years the store evolved into a hardware store, and eventually the harness and shoe repair aspects were dropped. 

  Christ founded C.W. Sensenig & Son in a former chicken house (pictured below). Since it's beginning, the store has expanded 3 times to become what it is today, a 7200 square foot showroom overflowing with all types of hardware, tools, new, used and hard-to-find items.

  The "son" in the original name, C.W. Sensenig & Son was Amos Z. Sensenig. Amos was involved in the store until he passed away in 1995. At one point Christ, his son Amos, and grandson Marvin were all three partners in the retail store. Marvin is still a partner and owner.

  Sensenig Hardware has been a family-owned business since 1941 and is still in the same Sensenig family. The Sensenig's continually remind themselves that the business is the Lord's and wish to steward it wisely. Thanks for taking time to hear our story. Enjoy the pictures below.
