Rezoning for future Little Hardware site approved

Little Hardware is moving forward with plans to move to the current Park Lane building in English Village as early as this summer.

Mountain Brook City Council approved rezoning that will allow for dry storage shed to be built outside the existing building at public hearing during its May 12 meeting.

Mike Mouron, chairman of Capstone Real Estate Investments, currently has a contract to purchase the property and plans to close on May 16. Little Hardware has a contract to lease the property. The new space will be similar in size to the business' current space in Mountain Book Village.

“We were contacted by a lot of business [about this space], and this was the one I found most attractive,” Mouron said. “I have never had to undertake a rezoning that had such positive feedback.

The lease of the current tenant of the space at 2117 Cahaba Road, Park Lane by Kathy G., lasts through the end of June, so the earliest that preparations could begin for Little Hardware’s proposed move is early July.
