Steve's father, Ron, played a very important role in everything his son accomplished, including the opening of Fusek's True Value Hardware. Ron had always been very handy and the first to step up and take on any type of project that could possibly present itself to a homeowner. Throughout Ron's entire life he was known as a teacher and a coach, and as a child to Steve these qualities were always present in his father. Steve remembers his father spending hours working on cars or projects around the house with all three of his children. Ron was always present to hold the light or offer a third hand if needed. Steve gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from his father throughout the years and also inherited his desires to do things right the first time. Fusek's True Value Hardware was lucky enough to have Ron with them when they opened in June of 2004. He played a integral part in the success of the business and truly enjoyed helping and teaching each of his customers. He loved being a part of the family and that family included being a part of Fusek's True Value Harware. Ron passed away in January of 2006, though missed dearly, his memory lives on in his families hearts and his families store.

Steve's mother, Mary Fusek, has played an active role in the success of Fusek's True Value Hardware. Mary is an incredibly knowledgeable woman of hardware and really enjoys interacting with the customer's of Fusek's True Value. Mary Fusek spends the majority of her time in Parker, Colorado with her two daughters families and her 6 grandchildren occupy most of her time these days. When she comes back to Indy every few months she will be the first one to greet you, as she is right back on the cash register with a smile on her face and a pleasant hello. Her family as well as Fusek's True Value Hardware love to have her in town.

I love getting to know all of our customer's and providing them with the best customer experience possible! I also enjoy working with our incredible staff!

I enjoy the fact that everyday and every customer is different. Different day, different projects.

Super fun enviornment! Fusek's is a great place to work! Co-workers are all great and enjoy helping customers. Steve and Sue are both great!

When I first started working at Fusek's, I felt like family. I enjoy working here as the atmosphere is so pleasant and friendly. I enjoy being able to pick up things I need and take advantage of the great deals!

I like getting to help customers with their projects and getting ideas I can use at my own house.

From my 1st day here, the customer's have treated me with respect. I really appreciate that. I love helping solve a problem for customers. I enjoy the family feel at Fusek's. Helping people love where they live.

I like working here because we're not just a hardware store. I am a troubleshooter and problem solver. Customers appreciate the fact that not only do we have the material, but the knowledge, so they get the best results.

I just want to help people with what they need, keep our store stocked and clean. And help other associates with anything I can.

I love the small hardware store that is located right here in downtown Indy. I love to help customers and I like working with the people I work with. Great place to work. I am very excited to come into work each day I am scheduled!
