Demolition begins for Hagan Ace Hardware store destroyed by fire, plans to rebuild at same location

Demolition has begun for the Hagan Ace Hardware store in Orange Park, which was destroyed by a fire in May.

Video of the demolition was posted on the family-owned hardware store’s Facebook page.

“We’re still in the early stages and don’t have an exact timeline, but one thing is certain - we’re coming back stronger than ever! Your support, encouragement and loyalty mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back when the time comes,” the post reads in part.

Officials said the store will be rebuilt at the same location.
