Founded in 1917, Sutherlands, a family-owned business, moved one of their stores to Waldo in 1995 at 311 W. 72nd St. Sutherlands has more than 60 stores in the mid and southwest. In Kansas City, there are six stores and one more opening in 2011. The company is headquartered in Kansas City. Sutherlands is a full service home center including lawn and garden, lumber and hardware. According to store manager, Kevin Sharp, "Sutherlands is your corner hardware store on steroids!"
This past year, the parking lot was upgraded and a new kitchen design center was added. The store employs 40 people and is open from 7:30a to 8p Monday through Friday, 7:30a to 7pm on Saturdays, and 9am to 5pm on Sundays. Thanks to Sutherlands for their participation and investment made in Waldo.
