Wiener’s Home Hardware Celebrates 100 Years in Business

Wiener's Home Hardware, Toronto, ON


TORONTO, ON – June 22, 2022 – Wiener’s Home Hardware is proudly celebrating 100 years of serving the Annex community in Toronto, Ontario. The Wiener family began their journey in the home improvement industry in 1922 and became a charter member of Home Hardware Stores Limited when it was founded in 1964. 

“We owe everything to my parents, grandparents and great grandparents who set the bar incredibly high when it comes to business excellence,” said Marty Wiener, Dealer-Owner, Wiener’s Home Hardware. “We are so proud to be part of Home Hardware, an iconic Canadian brand, and as I watch my own daughter Melanie prepare to move into the role of Dealer-Owner, I know she will continue that level of excellence for years to come.”




“To carry on the legacy of Wiener’s Home Hardware means a great deal to me,” said Melanie Wiener, who will be the fourth generation of the Wiener family to run the business. “I have essentially grown up in this store, and I take deep pride in what my family has built here. I look forward to serving the Annex in my future role as Dealer-Owner.” 

Melanie’s great grandparents, Hyman and Ida Wiener, purchased the small hardware store on Bloor St. West in 1922. Their youngest son, Gerry, joined the family business after high school and then Gerry’s son, Marty, joined the business full time after finishing university. 

“Our family values the support we’ve received from our customers and community and has always prioritized offering exceptional customer service,” added Marty. “The Annex certainly holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re so fortunate to have been here for 100 years and counting. Whether it’s power tools, lawn and garden supplies or paint, our team has helped countless customers complete all their DIY projects.”

“The Wiener family continues to prove their customer service is second to none,” said Kevin Macnab, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “Celebrating a century in business is an incredible accomplishment, and on behalf of all of our Dealer-Owners, I would like to congratulate Wiener’s Home Hardware. I wish them all the best in the future, and I know they will continue to do a tremendous job in serving the Annex community.”
To celebrate this milestone, Wiener’s Home Hardware closed off the street and held a block party outside their store on June 18. Community members and customers were welcomed by the Wiener family with food and beverages to look back and reflect on the past 100 years of business in the Annex.
