Keim Lumber Company is the first hardware store in Ohio outside of the Cleveland area to carry the Scrigit Scraper 2-packs. Although Keim (pronounced Kime) started out in 1911 as a lumber mill, the 4th generation family owned business is now a large full-service hardware store and home center with over 700,000 square feet of retail, office, warehouse and millwork production space on 50 acres of land. On the second level of their retail building is restaurant called Carpenters Cafe. Their expertise in millwork is shown throughout their retail store (see inset photo) in what is probably the most beautiful hardware store interior in the country. Located southwest of Canton, Ohio and northwest of Columbus, Keim is in the small rural town of Charm, east of the city of Millersburg.
