Ten years ago, Dulce Rodrigues walked into GBS Hardware with a simple, personal mission: she wanted to be independent. She didnāt want to wait for someone else to fix a leaky faucet or a creaking door. She wanted the tools, the knowledge, and the grit to handle lifeās repairs on her own terms.
She started among the soil and seedlings of the Garden Department. From there, she moved to Housewares, mastering the home one aisle at a time. But as Dulce worked her way up to Assistant Manager, something shifted. Her passion for "knowing how" evolved into a passion for "showing how."
For Dulce, GBS Hardware isn't just a warehouse of steel and timberāitās a community hub. In a world of automated checkouts and faceless retail, Dulce knows her customers by name. Sheās heard the stories of summer vacations and shared the joy of holiday traditions. To her, a customer isn't just looking for a 5/8-inch bolt; they are trying to finish a cradle for a newborn or fix a porch in time for a family reunion.
Dulce thrives where others might feel the heat. She understands that behind every "project" is a person under pressure. Whether itās a DIY disaster or a high-stakes professional build, Dulce leans into the challenge. She doesnāt just point you to an aisle; she helps you find a way.
Knowledge is contagious at GBS Hardware. Whether you are a master contractor or someone picking up a hammer for the first time, Dulce and her team treat every project with the same level of care.
Donāt let a missing tool or a confusing manual stop your progress. Stop by GBS Hardware, find Dulce, and experience the difference that ten years of passion and a "family-first" attitude can make.
