Welcome
Stamford Fireplaces began more than 40 years ago with one person selling wood stoves in a hardware store, which later became Stamford Home Hardware. Within 10 years, gas products were added and a great cash and carry business began, sending customers elsewhere for installation services.
A few short years later, installers were hired from within and customers were more comfortable with this way of doing things. A small showroom was added at the rear of the store.
By 1994, there was a staff of 7 people and business was booming. It was also in 1994 that Kathy Kostyk (later to become Kathy Morningstar) arrived on the scene as a sales associate. By 1996 she was the manager and in 2007, she became a full partner.
