DADE CITY - Less than a year after its Zephyrhills store closed, Scotty's Hardware on U.S. 301 south of downtown is going out of business.

The store has "Everything must go" signs posted throughout, and all its inventory is marked down 10-30 percent.

No closing date was announced.

The Scotty's in Zephyrhills closed last February, just days after Home Depot opened a 103,000-square-foot store a few miles down State Road 54.

Lowe's, another home improvement giant, is set to open this month on U.S. 301 in Zephyrhills on the north edge of town.
