Hunt\u2019s Hardware & Guns celebrates 30 years<\/a><\/p>\n

Hunt\u2019s Hardware & Guns, in Miller marked their 30th anniversary on Saturday, April 18, celebrating the achievement with a customer appreciation event.<\/p>\n

The business, run by David and Carrie Hunt, has served the citizens of Miller and beyond since 1996.<\/p>\n

Located at 102 E. Main St., the store was originally established in the early 1980s, but after changing hands for the first time in 1994, the Hunts took the opportunity to purchase the establishment in 1996. The business was struggling at the time, and the Hunts decided that they could make it work.<\/p>\n

Evolution with family<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over time, the store evolved, incorporating family into the business. Carrie Hunt\u2019s father, Dennis Cooper, was brought into the fold, bringing with him his gun store that he had built into his home. What was once a modest selection of firearms has grown to cover more than half of the store. Cooper came to work full-time in the store in 1998; he has since retired.<\/p>\n

The Hunts brought their children into the fold as well, saying that their three kids grew up in the hardware store.<\/p>\n

In 2026, the business is still going strong with people coming from all over the state to shop for firearms, and locals coming to purchase a variety of hardware needs.<\/p>\n

To celebrate these customers who have kept them in business for 30 years, the Hunts hosted a customer appreciation event where hot dogs were served and contestants entered to win a variety of prizes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt flew. It\u2019s gone by so fast,\u201d said Carrie Hunt. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s been 30 years. You do it every day, and before you know it, you wake up one day and it\u2019s been 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
