About Hollywood Hardware, SC
Our Beginnings
The story of Hollywood Hardware begins in 1955, when the building first opened as a combination furniture store and Western Auto. Not long after, the furniture was phased out and a True Value Hardware store was introduced alongside the Western Auto brand. In 1977, the business entered a new chapter when Carson Moody purchased the store and shifted the focus entirely to hardware.
What followed was a decades-long evolution rooted in service, family, and community. From that single decision to focus on hardware, Hollywood Hardware was born.
From One Generation to the Next
Like many family-owned businesses, Hollywood Hardware’s history is written by the hands of those who worked behind the counter. Carson's son, Bill, started working part-time while in high school and during college breaks. When the longtime store manager fell seriously ill, he faced a choice—step up and run the store or watch it be sold.
He came home, stepped into the manager role, got married, and soon after, bought the store with his wife in 1988. In early 1989, they expanded operations by adding a Carquest Auto Parts franchise. That same year, Hurricane Hugo struck Charleston, testing the strength of both the store and the community. At that time, the area was still mostly farmland. Now, it’s home to thriving neighborhoods and new businesses—and Hollywood Hardware has grown alongside it.
Today, the legacy continues with two sons working full-time in the business, bringing the next generation into the fold.
Who We Are Today
Hollywood Hardware is often described as a classic, old-fashioned hardware store—the kind you don't see much anymore. Customers often say, “Man, y’all really pack it in here,” referring to the impressive variety of products packed into every aisle.
We’re the store where you can find those hard-to-source items, whether it's a specialty bolt, a unique fastener, or a part no one else carries. And if you're not sure what you need, our team has the knowledge and experience to help figure it out. We solve problems on the spot, often improvising solutions based on years of hands-on experience.
Most of our team members work on their own homes and projects. That means when they help you, they’re not just reading off a label—they’re drawing from real-world use and success.
What We Offer and Why It Matters
While we carry a full line of traditional hardware products, we’re especially known for:
Making custom hydraulic hoses
Stocking treated lumber
Expanding our selection of Milwaukee Tools
Supporting creative, affordable repairs for our customers
We know that materials can be expensive, and our team excels at helping customers find practical, effective solutions—especially when the budget is tight or the fix is unconventional.
From DIYers and rural property owners to homeowners and builders, our customer base relies on us for flexible problem-solving, quality products, and personalized guidance.
Expertise You Can Count On
Hollywood Hardware has a high level of expertise across the board. Our team may not know everything—but between us, we’ve seen just about every project that walks through the door.
From well pumps and bladder tanks to structural repairs and outdoor improvements, our staff brings firsthand knowledge to every conversation. We believe that customers in Hollywood and across the Lowcountry need real answers from real people. And that’s what we deliver every day.
Our Values
We keep things simple: “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” That value shapes how we serve customers, how we support our employees, and how we give back to the community.
Whether it’s helping someone find the right part, improvising a fix that saves time and money, or just taking a few extra minutes to listen, we put people first. That’s what has built our reputation—and our customer loyalty—over the decades.
A Store Rooted in Community
Hollywood Hardware has deep roots in the local community. We’ve contributed to local events, schools, and charitable causes—including donations during Hurricane Helen and participation in Christmas in April projects. Our entire family, including both sons and their spouses, stays actively involved in store-hosted community events, such as the annual tailgate that brings people together right outside our doors.
This isn’t just where we work—it’s where we live, raise our families, and support our neighbors.
