2016 - Jan 7 - Their is rumor as to a party interested in the property with intentions of possibly
demolishing that structure. It was noted that storm water pipes had not been run to this
property to date.
2016 - Feb. 25 New hardware store planned in Culver...
Following a thumbs up from the Culver Plan Commission to a proposal for construction of a new Ace
hardware store on State Road 10 at the the former Dairy Queen restuarant. The building that
housed that housed that business since the 1980's would be razed under a proposal presented
by Tricia Small, whose family operates a handful of hardware stores in the area.
A site plan review for the CUlver project was presented at the Feb 16th meeting which approved
moving forward with the plan with the caveat that representatives of the business must come back
with information on size, location and other details regarding of their signage before it can be installed
at the site.
Leading up to the proposal the town council had already approved running municipal storm water lines
to the site, with jetting off the sorm sewer at the Forest Place Apartments in exchange for an
easement on a small portion of the latter's property to allow new pipes to be run to accomodate the
new hardware.

The History of Ace Hardware
"The Ace Hardware" name originated from the Ace Hardware Corporation- a buying group
started in 1924 by four independent Chicago area retailers. These four retailers made a
decision that they could be more productive and competitive working together rather
than separately. Today Ace Hardware Corporation, headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois,
is an international retail support company.
Our Local History
In 1944, Earl and Margaret Teghtmeyer purchased Ginder's Hardware in Columbia City,
Indiana. In 1963, they became affiliated with Ace Hardware Corporation and took on the
name Teghtmeyer Ace Hardware. At the time, the store was situated in a building right
downtown in Columbia City.
In 1966, at the time of Earl's death, their son James Earl "Jim" Teghtmeyer purchased the
store from Earl's estate. From 1966-1999 Jim Teghtmeyer was the sole owner/operator.
In October of 1988, Jim moved the store from downtown to its current location on Diplomat
Dr. This move expanded the store to a 12,000 sq ft building.
In 1999, Jim passed away, leaving ownership to his three daughters. Lorelei Pfeiffer, Alicia
Burnsworth Johnson, and Nickey Teghtmeyer. In 2004, the store was expanded again to its
current size of 22,000 sq ft. The current store holds an inventory with a strong mix of hardware,
tools, electrical supplies, plumbing supplies and fittings, paint, toys, sporting goods, marine
equipment, housewares, automotive accessories, lawn and garden, and a seasonal green house.
In June 2010, Lorelei Pfeiffer passed away, leaving ownership of the store to Jim's two surviving
daughters, Alicia Johnson and Nickey Teghtmeyer.
