About Us

Waters Hardware is a family-owned, Kansas-based company with more than 125 years of serving our communities. From a small general store in Manchester, Kansas in 1894, we grew to 7 store locations across the state. In 2019, Waters, Inc. was purchased by Gerken Rent-All, which is owned and operated by the Gerken family since 2002. We now have 21 hardware stores and 12 stand-alone rental locations across Kansas and Missouri. We're proud of the communities we serve, both large and small. We look forward to providing many years of "hometown" hardware store to our customers!
