If you are referring to the Hardware store in Gibson by the traffic circle, that was owned until it closed by Harry-Harrys hardware was right next door to Gibson Deli-Ziggys place. The corner has been an Italian restaurant, Goldys for as long as I can remember.
Most of the stores on Rockaway ave where the other hardweare store mentioned have been knocked down from Sunrise hwy-south.
Still miss the burgers at Wetsons, where McDonalds is today, the hotdogs too when it was Nathans.
