When Curt and Penny Scroggins bought a hardware store in Nashville 20 years ago their only goal was to keep their heads above water. Nearly two decades later, they have doubled the size of the original store and become a fixture in the community.
After working in hardware sales for 15 years, Curt said buying what was then named Cook’ s Hardware seemed like a natural next step.
