After nearly five decades in business, Masterson’s hardware and farm supplies will close its doors later this year. John and Barb Masterson announced Friday that they plan to retire by the end of the summer. They have sold the building, but haven’t said to whom.

John says when they first opened the store the mostly sold farm supplies. After around 20 years they started to sell more hardware items and work clothing.

The Mastersons plan to stay in the area.
