DeLollo Hardware, a longstanding, family-run hardware retailer and industrial supplier in Watervliet New York, today announced its official business name change to Carr Hardware and Supply Company.

Carr Hardware has been in existence for over 80 years during which time it has earned wide recognition by contractors, homeowners, institutional, and government customers.

Carr Hardware’s flagship store opened for business in 1928 and has been based in Pittsfield, Massachusetts ever since. Over the years, branches were established in Great Barrington, Lee, and North Adams, all in Berkshire County. Carr Hardware has just been named the best hardware store in the Berkshires for the thirteenth year in a row in The Berkshire Eagle’s Best of the Berkshires Reader’s Poll.

Marshall and Barton Raser, co-owners of Carr, purchased DeLollo Hardware in October of 2007. Since then, DeLollo has been synonymous with excellence in customer service, highly-competitive pricing, and a well-trained, knowledgeable, and friendly team of career professionals.

“The DeLollo name has great value and history in Watervliet,” said Marshall Raser, President of Carr Hardware. “We want everyone to understand the name is changing but the people and the culture remain the same,” said Raser. “We have steadily advanced our management, inventory, and technical expertise to become a leading provider of hardware and industrial supplies in the market.”

The name change reinforces the Carr Hardware brand as a growing, integrated, family business and reflects the company’s long-term strategy to advance its presence in the greater Tri-City marketplace.
