Ridge Hardware is a locally owned hardware store that opened in 2002 in the building that was originally Raley's grocery store.  The building was built in the 1940s, where Ross Raley raised his family in the back of the building with a package goods store, barroom, slot machines, and gas pumps in the front.  As the business grew, so did the building, with many additions over the years.  Finally the grocery business outgrew the building so the Raley family built a new store across the street in 1986, in what used to be a tobacco field.  Soon after, a hardware store was opened in the old grocery store building.  In 2002, the original owners of the hardware store closed the business and moved it to Solomons, Md.  It was then in the fall of 2002 that Donnie Tennyson, a local farmer born and raised 2 miles down the road in Scotland, reopened the business with a new format, but still using the True Value name.  Today, you can still see the old copper ceiling in the original part of the store and the worn floor tiles where the checkout register was for many years in the grocery store.
