Our last local lumber yard and ACE hardware closed down last year. We do have a McCoy's Building Supply which is a small chain (85 stores), locally owned business. Their prices are only a little above the box stores and in the past year or so have started to offer 10% off to retired and active military. Biggest advantage is that they only hire people that know about their products. Stock can be a bit limited but they don't gouge you on special orders like the box stores do.
I am also partial to them because I worked for them in 1974 when they only had 8 stores and got to know both Emmett McCoy and his wife Miriam, as well as their daughter and son in law (He managed the store I worked in.) Emmett passed away last year and his son now runs the business.
