Talmadge considered purchasing
the property in order to stay – but
the numbers didn’t work. The ask-
ing price is $2.5 million, which would
have meant a $30,000 monthly mort-
gage payment.

Instead of buying, she decided to
shut down the business.

“It’s not a decision we made lightly,”
she said, adding that, if an opportuni-
ty presents itself, she would consider
reopening elsewhere on the island
– but it would have to be the right
amount of space at the right price.

“Rents over there [on the island] are
outrageous,” she said.

Orchid Island Hardware had to
jump through some city zoning
hoops and deal with public opposi-
tion when it opened in 2011. Before it
was approved, city rules did not allow
hardware stores on the island.

Talmadge’s husband, John, works
in real estate and went to bat for the
store, convincing city leaders to per-
mit it.

Talmadge said she’ll miss the cus-
tomers and the relationships forged
at the store. She says her staff know
customers by name and know their
shopping preferences and needs.
