Quynn's Hardware to Close Move to New Patrick Street
Quynn's Hardware will close at 10 E. Patrick St Frederick this summer after operating since 1796. Owners Bill and Kathy Anders plan to move to 100 E. Patrick St to combine seed sales with Quynn's Tannenbaum, a two year old Christmas shop. The Anders will sell the old building, which features beams and thick walls, and shift away from hardware due to slumping downtown sales.
