Buck Benson on the sale of the hardware store

Some community members got wind of the news before it became official. There was a closure for inventory and a visit from new owners, but it wasn't until June 26 that Buck Benson was willing to confirm that he has sold Buck's Hardware in downtown Grand Marais. 

After the closing, Buck came in to WTIP to share the news, as well as some memories of his 42 years in the hardware--and bait and tackle--business. 

WTIP's Rhonda Silence spoke with Buck Benson and here's their conversation.
