Established on
April 11th 1911,
Dykeman's Hardware & Marine Ltd. was known simply by the names of it's owners; R.G. & F.W Dykeman.
We supplied Saint John and surrounding areas with flour, middlings, fertilizer and oats as well as a place to house horse(s).
For the next hundred-and-three years, the Dykeman and (through marriage) Shaw families ran the store.
Dykeman's Hardware saw many changes in that time, right down to the name on the building.

In May 2014,
Dykeman's Hardware & Marine changed hands for the first time to someone outside the Shaw or Dykeman family.
Paul Stevens, their largest marine customer and local business owner, purchased the store.
Since then...
