Riverside Hardware

The character of a town is often defined by the residents who live there. For Livingston, Montana, no one better exemplifies a true local than Dan Durgan.

“I was born and raised in Livingston. This is my home. I am a 5th generation Livingston native,” Dan said. “When the last hardware store on Main Street decided to leave, I knew I wanted to fill that gap” Hardware stores are often the heart of a small downtown, and Dan knew he had the experience in hardware to create this business. With a background in home construction and management, starting a hardware store seemed to be a perfect fit.

Dan’s vision was to create a store which improved Livingston while building a financially successful business. To make this vision a reality, he knew that he needed to find reliable help.

“Really early on, a friend of mine told me about Prospera. I went to Prospera and they gave me the blueprint. They got me grounded with a business plan and helped me build it piece by piece.”
