Father’s Day is June 18, so you have plenty of time to shop around for gifts to honor dads and perhaps find some pretty cool things for themselves as well.

“We have all sorts of hunting and fishing apparel,” Hartley said. “We also have a good selection of athletic wear. We have everything from ammo to outdoor rocking chairs. We have some cool and efficient sunglasses for dad, and we can even customize t-shirts.” 

To make shopping even simpler, Shay said the store offers gift cards as well. 

And in Crenshaw County, Father’s Day shoppers can stop at Luverne Hardware. They have some pretty cool toys for any guy. 

Owner Caitlin Hilburn said , “ We have lots of gifts to offer dads of all ages.” 

Luverne Hardware sells a variety of gifts, from shovels, knives, barbeque grills, and everything in between. Husband and co-owner Christopher Hilburn said he is proud of the inventory and hopes to see Fathers Day shoppers soon at Luverne Hardware.
