On Friday, Aug. 26, Belleville Pro Hardware store on Main Street will be celebrating its 36th year in business. Mike Windiate, Sr. said his youngest employee is his grandson, bearing the same name, Mike Windiate.
Over the decades, Mike Sr. expanded the family business to include three hardware locations – in Milan, Romulus, and Belleville — but today he owns and operates only in Belleville. This is where he lives and raised his family and wants the community to know that the Windiate name isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. He said he looks forward to many more years to come.
The store is also an authorized U-Haul truck/van leasing center and continues to rank among the top-100 performing dealers out of 20,000-plus locations in all of North America and Canada. Windiate works nearly every day alongside a family member or two as well as Pat Grieve.
Mike thanks the community for its support over the years and for buying local. Belleville Pro is open seven days: Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., (734) 697-9595.

Don’t understand why people shop here over Menards. Pro hardware is highly overpriced for almost everything there and has a small selection and the employees are rude. Menards has decent employees, a massive selection and lower prices. Soooo
People’s at pro hardware rude racist against Asian Americans I came from china and they refused to hire me say I filled with COVID juice whatever that means. Menards better.
Absolutely loved our little hardware downtown in Belleville.
Great customer service.
Photo copies made.
Even could pick up reasonably priced birthday and all occasion cards.
Sure miss my friend who had cancer and died.
Visited him on a daily basis.
Smells like mold and mildew in there
