Dozier Hardware shares long history with T'ville

Cole Stringer is one of Dozier Hardware's new employees.
Dozier Hardware Company, located at 33655 Hwy. 43 in Thomasville offers building supplies, hardware and hunting supplies.

Dozier Hardware Company, Inc. was originally Andrews Hardware Company, founded in 1903 by W.H. Andrews, Sr. "Mr. Hamp" as his friends called him, was only 21 years old when he opened his store located in downtown Thomasville where People's Corner stands today.

The store was one of the first brick structures built after the fire of 1899.

In 1907, the business was moved across the street when Mr. Andrews merged as a partner with L.L. Dozier. In 1939, interest of L.L. Dozier was purchased by the Andrews family. However, since there were three Andrews Hardware stores already operating in the area, "Mr. Hamp" decided to retain the Dozier name for the business.
