About
Us
For over 47 years Handyman's Inc. has lived up to our original philosophy of being an innovative and non-traditional hardware store. While our roots are based on traditional hardware supplies like plumbing, heating, paint and more, our business mission is anything but traditional. Handyman's has taken hardware service and specialized products to the max. We not only serve the general public with every day and hard-to-find products in our convenient East-Side St. Cloud location, but provide dedicated personal service to commercial accounts throughout Minnesota.
Doug S.
CO-OWNER & PRESIDENT
Owner Doug Severson has been in the Hardware business for over 35 years. Unofficially he began his hardware career at the age of 5 years old when he did odd jobs at the family owned business for a "candy bar" as payment. Stan and Deloris Severson started Handyman's Hardware in 1965. Handyman's has been a family-owned and operated business for almost five decades.
In 1993 Handyman's expanded its retail space and Doug became the President of the company. Doug along with Handyman's experienced and dedicated staff has evolved the business to meet the needs of its wide variety of customers. Handyman's is more than your home town Hardware store for advice, knowledge and convenience. It also has expanded to serve commercial accounts with sales staff that travel to the work site. But what has truly made us successful is our "provide-it-all" philosophy and experienced, personal service.
