New hardware store opens in Mineral Point Community response to A.B. Hardware’s opening has been strong and supportive, its owner said. “Ninety percent of the people say thanks, now I don’t have to run” out of town, said Alicia Bockhop, who founded the store with her husband Andy. “They want to support a local small business.” A soft opening through June will help determine what people would like at the hardware store and tailor . . .
