Who We Are

The Sauk Rapids store’s roots go back to 1986, when Paul Wippler purchased Czarnetzki Hardware, laying the foundation for what is now Wippler’s Hardware. Since then, our store has been a trusted name for quality products, friendly service, and community commitment throughout the Sauk Rapids area.

In October 2025, Matt Dirks, along with Justin and Adam Wippler, will take ownership of all three Wippler Hardware locations, ensuring the same family values and hands-on service continue for future generations.
