“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.”
