Owners of Manchester True Value Hardware built a new store after their previous building was destroyed last year.

After the fire engulfed the building at 19870 Sharon Valley Road, co-owner Darwin Ries described it as a "total loss" but vowed to rebuild.

The store will open at 8 a.m. Thursday with temporary hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, according to the Manchester Enterprise.
