Our History
Orchards Hardware began as Coast to Coast Hardware in April 1989. Loveland was without a true hardware store at the time so Chuck Zitting opened his fourth hardware store in the Orchards Shopping Center, under the Coast to Coast banner. Already a veteran store owner, Zitting quickly grew the store into the best hardware store Loveland had seen in many years. As times changed so did we. Ace Hardware became the prominent supplier in the industry and we changed to Ace in 1993. Still locally owned, Zitting considers Orchards Hardware a family-owned business with his two kids Dan and Shannon (pictured above). We continue to expand the inventory and strive to bring you all the hard-to-find whatzits and gizmos that you cannot find anywhere else. The store's leadership and management team of Clark, Jerry, Lynne, Mike & Peggy work hard to make our store the best Loveland has ever seen!
