In 1980, Joe and Carmella DiPietro purchased Pound Ridge Hardware from Gus Schutte and renamed it Chubby’s Hardware. The building that houses Chubby’s was built in the 1940’s and was the first home of Scotts Corners Market which was owned by the Walters family. And on any given day you may find some third generation family members working the registers and floor. Since 1980 Chubby’s has expanded several times. Our latest addition is a warehouse located in the back of the store which is used for bulk goods. We have also expanded our product lines to include Weber Grills, high quality fireplaces doors, screens and accessories, Stihl Power Equipment and much more. In 1998 Chubby’s became a member of the Ace Hardware buying cooperative which gave Chubby’s the buying power of 5,000 stores and access to over 75,000 items. Chubby’s now stocks over 15,000 different items and can special order many more. In the future, Chubby’s plans to continue to expand by adding new products and services. We pride ourselves on being an “old-fashioned” hardware store where customer service and depth of selection is important.
