A Palm Springs hardware store announced on Wednesday that it will close when its lease at the Smoketree Village mall expires on February 28, 2027. The store has launched a liquidation sale with 20 percent off all regularly priced items.
Why it matters
The closure removes a longtime neighborhood hardware option from the Palm Springs retail mix after 16 years at its current location. Finding a replacement site has proven difficult, and no new location or opening timeline has been confirmed.
The store is offering 20 percent off all regularly priced items during its liquidation sale, which runs until its lease expires on February 28, 2027. The owners have not disclosed how many items remain in stock or how many jobs the closure affects.

Market Landscape
Independent hardware retailers in Palm Springs are contending with lease-driven relocations as mall space turns over. The store's exit leaves a gap while the replacement tenant reported for the site, a Nordstrom Rack, is not yet confirmed.
Palm Springs shoppers who rely on this hardware store will need to plan purchases before the lease expires in February 2027. The liquidation sale's 20 percent discount offers a window to stock up on regularly priced items before the store closes.
The takeaway
Shoppers planning home or yard projects should consider buying during the liquidation sale, since regularly priced items are discounted 20 percent until the store closes. Residents can also watch for an announced replacement store as the site's future becomes clearer.
What happens next
The store's February 28, 2027 lease expiration marks the final day of operations, with the liquidation sale running until then.
