David Enmark, CEO of Helpful Hardware – from LinkedIn
For more than 50 years, Charles Carter and Tom Jones have been incredible partners to the Jackson community, serving generations of customers with the kind of trust, service, and hometown commitment that defines what independent hardware retail is all about.
We are excited to welcome Jones Hometown Hardware into the HHC family and, most importantly, to continue and build on the legacy Charles and Tom have created. The foundation they’ve established is special, and we’re honored to carry it forward with the same focus on caring for customers and supporting the community.
Please join me in congratulating and thanking Charles and Tom for everything they’ve done for Jackson, and in welcoming the Jones team to HHC.
It’s the latest transaction in what has been a theme in recent years, industry consolidation. Helpful Hardware has been an active part of that theme with with an active expansion strategy since partnering with the private equity firm JPB Partners in 2019.
JPB Partners has been instrumental in enabling our growth. Their partnership gives us the financial strength and strategic flexibility to grow thoughtfully and at scale—all while keeping the customer and community at the center.

When Helpful Hardware was acquired, they were an eight-store operation. They’ve since expanded to 21 locations through acquisitions. They’ve done at least one acquisition every year, and some years, as many as three.
Their expansion strategy is to keep growing in the eastern US. Their current locations are centered in the southeast with stores in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.
