Our Story

Hardware and Beach Essentials for Fenwick Island

Fenwick Hardware’s story began in 1973, when founder Timothy J. Munro turned his small handyman and recreational vehicle repair business into a family-owned hardware store serving the Fenwick Island community. Through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to honest, personalized service, he built the business into a local landmark known for its extensive selection and knowledgeable staff. Affectionately known as “Mr. Tim,” he established a legacy of treating customers like family and taking pride in doing things right. Following his passing in May 2017, his son, Timothy A. Munro, carried on the family tradition until his own passing in July 2018. The business was then inherited by Timothy A.’s son, Sebastian “Bas” Munro, whose connection to the store began when he was just a baby accompanying his mother, Shyne Moore, to work. Having grown up around the store, Sebastian developed a deep appreciation for the business his grandfather built and a desire to continue its legacy. During this difficult transition, Fenwick Hardware’s dedicated employees helped keep the store running, demonstrating the loyalty and family spirit that have always defined the business. Today, Fenwick Hardware remains a testament to the Munro family’s hard work, the dedication of its employees, and the enduring support of the local community. Our history is built on more than hardware—it is built on relationships, trust, and generations of service, and we remain committed to carrying that tradition forward.

Located on Lighthouse Road, our store is a trusted source for paints, plumbing and heating supplies, marine supplies, and gardening essentials, serving the needs of the Delaware coast and surrounding communities.

I was on vacation and discovered I needed to remove a bolt from my Jeep but didn’t know what size it was. I was worried about buying the wrong size but one of the staff there offered to help me out by grabbing a few sizes and going outside with me to see what would fit. He went way above and beyond to help me and I truly appreciate it.

We needed *something* but weren't exactly sure what we were looking for to solve our problem. The first person we asked didn't have an answer for us but immediately found someone who was quickly able to solve our problem and show us several options. It's a very well stocked store with everything you could possibly need. Everyone we encountered there was friendly and all had a sense of humor - always a plus in my book!

This is the best hardware store I’ve ever been to. They have everything you could ask for but more importantly, they have knowledgeable, friendly very helpful employees to help. You may want to spend an extra 20 minutes looking at their hilarious greeting cards. A great selection of funny birthday anniversary, etc. cards. Highly recommend Fenwick hardware

Went to Fenwick hardware store. They were terrific. They had the supplies I needed and much more. Wonderful customer service and a lot to offer in the store. Reasonable prices.

Tracy Thomas 3 years ago

Small but has everything I needed. Also carries things other hardware stores don't carry. Geared for beach houses and carries decorations for those as well as regular places with traditional styles. Got painting supplies. Prices aren't cheap but you can find what you are looking for and things that are harder to find. Good tools are sold here. Like the hardware stores you knew back when, helpful staff too!

Went in to get keys made. Customer service was outstanding, friendly people and plenty to look at. I found a POW flag, and they even had the branches of service flags. I got the POW flag and will be returning for more.

How many time has this hardware store save me money and time when I'm doing a DIY project. Over the years Fenwick Hardware has gotten me through a project when I had no idea what I was doing or what ai need to get it done everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable.

Old time hardware with a wide variety of goods. Nice folks and a full staff. They usually ask if you'd like help before you get to the back of the store.

Great little mom and pop type hardware store. They have most everything you need and is fairly large store. More expensive than the big stores, but it's much more convenient.

Mark Van Tassel 3 years ago

The service is incredible. Needed a product they didn't stock. The manager went out of his way to special order it and had it for us in just a few days. It's rare these days when you find such good service these days

Really nice hardware store. It looks deceiving from the outside when you walk inside is pretty big and goes far back. They cram a lot of stuff and such a small space so you're sure to find anything you might need. The people there who work are super nice and very helpful and friendly. The guy spent a good 10 minutes helping me find the right parts for my project I was grateful
