Company Summary
Palms Hardware & Services is Limited Liability
Company owned by Peter Lee Palmer.
Palms Hardware is a newly established independent hardware store offering home
improvement products to our customers and neighbors.
Located in the historic Southeast area of
St. Petersburg, Florida, Palms will cater to middle income-class individuals
with estimated household incomes between $20,000 to $50,000.
STORE LOCATION
Palms will be located in historic Old
Southeast neighborhood of Coquina Key in St. Petersburg, Florida. With the
closest hardware location being over four miles away, Palms will satisfy a
community need for a hardware store and will ideally become an anchor in the
community. In addition, the Coquina Key Plaza will be undergoing
renovations starting with the hardware store, which will bring out the media and
curious neighbors to help promote our location.
The surrounding tenants including Family
Dollar, Advanced Auto Parts, CVS/Pharmacy, and a Save-a-Lot grocery store
will enhance the shopping experience of Palms customer base. Shopping at
Palms will be easy and convenient due to the following factors:
- Lighted exterior signage
- Newly renovated, high visibility store
front from the street level
- Plentiful parking spots and lighted
parking lot

Palms will be open for business SEVEN
days-a-week, closed major holidays.
