Press Release (ePRNews.com) - 23 John Street, Sundridge ON P0A 1Z0 - May 02, 2025 - Kidd’s Home Hardware stands as a fixture in Northern Ontario communities, where harsh winters and remote locations demand specialised knowledge and reliable supplies. The store has grown alongside the communities it serves, adapting to changing needs while maintaining the personal touch that larger retailers often lack. Through decades of service, Kidd’s has developed a nuanced understanding of what actually works in Northern Ontario homes—knowledge that comes only from years of problem-solving alongside local residents.
The store offers far more than just tools and materials. Kidd’s Home Hardware provides genuine solutions for the distinct challenges of Northern Ontario living. From plumbing that withstands deep freezes to weatherproofing that truly holds up against lake-effect snow, the store’s departments reflect regional necessities. Their Northern Ontario hunting equipment section particularly shines, featuring gear specifically chosen for local terrain and wildlife patterns. This isn’t generic hunting merchandise, but rather carefully selected items that address the unique conditions hunters face in the region—from scent control formulated for our dense forests to gear designed for the temperature swings common during hunting seasons.
“What sets us apart isn’t just what we stock, but why we stock it,” notes a company spokesperson from Kidd’s Home Hardware. “Our team lives here, works here, and faces the same challenges as our customers. When someone asks about a product, our answer comes from genuine experience—not a training manual. We’ve likely used that exact item at our own camps or cottages, so we know what holds up and what doesn’t in Northern Ontario conditions.”
Few understand the specific requirements of Northern Ontario hunting equipment like the staff at Kidd’s. The department stocks items that acknowledge the region’s particular hunting conditions—dense underbrush in some areas, vast sight lines in others, and weather that can shift dramatically during a single outing. Beyond just selling products, Kidd’s maintains connections with local conservation groups and experienced guides, ensuring their recommendations align with sustainable practices and current regulations. This approach translates to carefully curated selections rather than overwhelming assortments that leave customers guessing about appropriateness for local conditions.
As the definitive Northern Ontario building centre, Kidd’s maintains inventory levels that acknowledge the region’s compressed construction season and remote locations. While big box stores might stock based on national trends, Kidd’s ordering patterns follow local building cycles and regional preferences. This translates to better availability during critical weather windows when most local construction happens. Their delivery services reach areas other retailers won’t consider, bringing materials to camps, remote properties, and job sites throughout their service area. The team brings decades of collective experience dealing with Northern Ontario’s unique building challenges—from foundations that resist frost heave to roofing that handles serious snow loads.
For decades, Kidd’s has represented the gold standard for Northern Ontario electrical supplies and home improvement needs. Their electrical department stocks components specifically rated for the temperature extremes and power fluctuations common to Northern Ontario installations. From heavy-duty generators that start reliably at -40°C to outdoor wiring solutions that withstand ice storms, their selection reflects the region’s electrical realities. The company maintains deep community connections through support of local events, trades education, and stocking Canadian-made products whenever possible. Kidd’s Home Hardware doesn’t just serve Northern Ontario—it’s part of the fabric of the communities it supplies, offering solutions from people who truly understand local needs.
