Jackson Hardware, which has operated in Jackson Heights for more than four decades, will close at the end of the year.

The family-owned store, located at 85-11 Roosevelt Ave, has been the go-to place to get keys cut, painting supplies and more since 1975,

A store employee, who declined to give his name, said that the business’s lease is set to expire, and that the new rent for the next five years would have been “a lot more.”

The owner of the store plans to retire after its closing, the employee said.
