ST. PETERS FA MILY TRUE VALUE STORE serving the community for over 80 years

St. Peters Family True Value Store is more than a hardware store it is a family legacy built on service, craftsmanship, and lasting relationships within the communities it serves Founded by brothers Donald St. Peters and Virgil St. Peters, the business was established with a straightforward but powerful goal: to provide dependable products, expert guidance, and honest service to neighbors who needed a place they could trust. Eight decades later, that goal still defines how St. Peters Family True Value operates today

The journey began in Alton, Illinois, where the original St. Peters Family True Value location has proudly served the community for 80 years From its earliest days, the store became a cornerstone for homeowners, contractors, and families a like a place where customers were known by name and projects were supported from start to finish. As customer needs evolved, so did the business, expanding into full hardware services, equipment rental, and party rental, allowing St. Peters Family True Value to serve everything from small home repairs to large community events

Driven by steady growth and a commitment to service, the family expanded into Edwardsville, Illinois,

opening a second location 25 years ago This store was designed to focus heavily on equipment rental and party rental, meeting the needs of both residential and commercial customers Over time, the Edwardsville location added the STIHL Outdoor Power Equipment. It has earned recognition as an Elite STIHL Dealer, reinforcing the company ’s reputation for quality outdoor power equipment and professional service With certified Gold and Silver STIHL mechanics on staff, customers can rely on expert repairs and maintenance performed by trained professionals who understand the equipment inside and out.

The most recent chapter in the company ’s story came with the opening of the Breese, Illinois location, now in its fourth year of operation. This store was built to serve a broader mix of customers, offering full hardware services along with farm and ranch supplies, plus equipment and party rental. By expanding into Breese, St. Peters Hardware continued its tradition of meeting communities where they are, providing practical solutions while maintaining

the personal service that has defined the brand since the beginning Season after season, St. Peters Family True Value stores are here to support its customers all year long From spring projects and summer maintenance to fall preparation and winter readiness, the team is equipped to handle the work each season brings. Whether customers need dependable equipment, tool and equipment rentals, or knowledgeable advice, St. Peters Hardware takes pride in being ready when it matters most helping projects move forward no matter the time of year

At its core, St. Peters Family True Value is guided by three principles: family, service, and community From helping customers tackle everyday projects to reinvesting in the local schools, charities, and organizations that make our communities special, the company remains committed to strengthening the communities it serves. Built by family and sustained by service, St. Peters Family True Value Stores continue to stand as a trusted partner, today and for generations to come

The business was established with a straightfor ward but power ful goal: to provide dependable products, exper t g uidance, and honest ser vice to neighbors who needed a place they could trust.
