Raise a glass to the do-it-yourself retail story of Builders Square. Founded as Home Centers of America in 1983, the company opened its first Home Pro Warehouse in a former San Antonio department store before Kmart acquired the business and gave its stores the Builders Square name. The chain grew through the home-improvement boom, later introducing its Builders Square II format. This pint glass brings a memorable chapter of changing store names and big-box retail history to everyday gatherings and collector displays.
Builders Square began as Home Centers of America, founded on February 16, 1983, by home-center executive Frank Denny. Its first Home Pro Warehouse opened in a former Woolco store in San Antonio, Texas, on May 28, 1983. Kmart acquired the company in June 1984 for $90 million, and the business and stores took the Builders Square name. The first stores under that name opened in the Chicago area on October 18, 1984; the original nine stores were converted on January 1, 1985. The chain later developed a larger Builders Square II format, first opened in Sunrise, Florida, on July 8, 1992. By 1997 it operated 162 stores. That year, Kmart and Leonard Green & Partners agreed to combine Builders Square with Hechinger. Hechinger entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 1999 and Chapter 7 liquidation that September. Remaining Builders Square stores were converted to the Home Quarters brand, while some locations were sold to The Home Depot. Home Decor Products revived the name in 2006 for an online home-and-garden comparison-shopping site. After Home Decor Products filed for bankruptcy in April 2009, former executives acquired its assets through HomeClick LLC and dropped the Builders Square brand and website.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
