To celebrate #FlagDay yesterday we are highlighting Ridge Hardware in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

This old-school #hardware store has been in business since 1939. Seymour Shepetin's brothers, who were all electricians, ran the shop until they all passed away while serving in World War II, leaving Seymour the business. We couldn't think of a more patriotic store 🇺🇸 than this.
