Over the decades the business has traded under a few different names, but one thing has never changed – its deep roots in the town and its unwavering commitment to the people who live here.
For generations of locals, a trip to GRT Hardware has simply been part of life in Graaff-Reinet.
Earlier today, Union High School matric hockey players ๐๐บ๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ and ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐น๐๐ป ๐ง๐ฟ๐ผ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฝ stopped by the store to personally thank owners ๐๐น๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ and ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ for pledging their support to the teamโs ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ข๐ fundraising initiative.
For the team at Graaff-Reinet Hardware, supporting young people is something that comes naturally. As they so beautifully put it: โ๐๐ช๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐ช๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ด.โ
While this familiar phrase is often said in passing, it holds real meaning for them. Children represent growth, opportunity and, perhaps most importantly, hope for the future. ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐โ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ๐.
