So, Lehman's sold out and went corporate it seems. There used to be another store geared for the Amish and non-electric living called Shetler's Wholesale. It looks like they tried to go online in 2020 and then quickly fell off and looking at Google Maps, the building they used to be in (630 High Street) is being sold. Has anyone done any digging to see if they are still around or is there another Lehman's/Shetler's out there setup for mail order?

Krista, would you be able to explain a little more about Leyman's going corporate as you put it.
I had no idea. I have been there many times and even met Mr Leyman himself.
So if what you say is true that would mean the family decided to sell out?

Huh. From their website here.

Lehman's joined HRM Enterprises, Inc. on February 1, 2021. The HRM family of businesses includes Hartville Hardware, Hartville Kitchen Restaurant and Bakery, Hartville Marketplace and Flea Market and The Shops at Hartville Kitchen. The Miller Family, owners of HRM Enterprises, were long time family friends of the Lehman's, for decades before they purchased the business. They look forward to working with Galen Lehman and Glenda Lehman Ervin to carry forward the values and product line that you've always known Lehman's for. They expect to retain all the employees and to keep the great, family owned, culture and commitment. Customers, team members and community have been the pillars that defined Lehman's, brand, and these are the same pillars that the Miller family has always held in their family of businesses.



So, maybe a corporation, but not without heart.
