The building will be 152'x 232'for a total size of 35,264 s.f. It will house 5,000 <br /> s.f. of their corporate offices. The remaining area will be warehouse and production <br /> facilities. <br /> Wheeler Hardware is a major supplier of doors, hardware, and specialty items to <br /> commercial contractors throughout the Twin Cities. The company has been in business <br /> 50 years. They currently employ 26 people at 2 locations in the Twin Cities.
