| Morton's Ace Hardware store was
founded 25 years ago by Morton and Barbara Waksler. The original
store was destroyed by Hurricane Charley and was rebuilt in
2005. The new building is 12,500 square feet, with 18-foot-high ceilings, and will
feature an upper mezzanine with office and storage space. It
will have a huge, gas-powered generator that can supply
electricity for the entire structure. |
