Power Equipment Trade magazine Editorial Adviser Dan Shell travels to Medford, Oregon to visit Hubbards Hardware & Home Center. Extending more than a century of business relationships with southern Oregon and northern California consumers, Hubbards Hardware & Home Center in the past three years has concentrated its considerable lawn and garden and related power equipment sales and service capacity in one location here, following 10+ years of key acquisitions and expansion. The company traces its roots to 1884, when founder F. Hubbard—considered a key figure in the development of modern commerce in what was then wild pioneer country in southern Oregon—established a farming supply store in Medford before it was even incorporated. Acquired by the Seus (pronounced “Sice”) family in 1988 and operated by the four Seus brothers Paul, Mark, Bob and Dan, Hubbards is now going stronger than ever as an independent home center with more than $10 million in annual sales.
