Our Story
About Christopher's Hardware
Christopher’s Hardware is a family-owned and operated hardware store with two locations, one in Sandy Spring and the other in Glen Echo, Maryland. Tom and his family opened the Glen Echo location in 1980 and the business has grown steadily, becoming a vital part of the community. The Sandy Spring store originally opened as Ashton Paint and Hardware in the Ashton Village Center in 1995. In 2012 the store was rebranded as Christopher’s Hardware and moved to its current location.
Tom Sr. and his wife, Glenna, manage the Sandy Spring location, while their son Thomas Jr. oversees the Glen Echo store. In April 2024, Tom and Glenna further expanded by opening Christopher’s Garden Center just half a mile down the road from the Sandy Spring store, providing a comprehensive selection for gardening and landscaping needs.
Christopher’s Hardware takes pride in its fantastic team, dedicated to assisting with all your home projects. The stores are open seven days a week, with early closures on many national holidays. As a true family-owned business, Christopher’s Hardware is committed to delivering excellent customer service and a wide range of products for all your hardware and gardening needs.
