IT BEGAN IN 1921, WHEN AN AMBITIOUS J.W. WILBURN SR. OPENED A GROCERY STORE IN THE CURRENT HISTORIC DISTRICT OF LENOIR CITY, TN.  HIS WILLINGNESS TO ADAPT TO CUSTOMER'S DEMANDS SEEKING PAINT SUPPLIES IS WHAT LAID THE FOUNDATION TO A BUILDING SUPPLY HARDWARE STORE.

​

FOUR GENERATIONS LATER, MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF RETAILING BUSINESS, WILBURN'S HARDWARE CONTINUES TO BE THE HISTORICAL DOWNTOWN CONTRACTOR'S CHOICE TO BUILD THROUGHOUT THE GROWING EAST TENNESSEE AREA.
