Since 1943, Hardesters has been serving customers in the Southern Lake County area of Northern California. Our three locations provide service to the communities of Middletown, Cobb Mountain and Hidden Valley Lake. The Middletown and Hidden Valley stores are both full service grocery and ACE hardware stores. For over 70 years, Hardester's has been an active partner in the community, lending support to a variety of community events, projects, and organizations. Each summer, Hardesters continues to provide free swim passes for children 12 and under to the Middletown community pool. Hardester's is a past recipient of the Spirit of Lake County award for their caretaker role in the community.
