Happy 25th to the Hagers
Hager Cabinets and Appliances of Lexington has remodeled its showroom and is celebrating 25 years in business with a Grand Re-Opening on December 7.
Hager Cabinets is a family-owned business that began in 1967 when Bob and Oberita Hager moved from West Virginia to Richmond where Oberita had accepted a doctoral teaching position at Eastern Kentucky University. Bob enrolled in a drafting course at EKU and Oberita encouraged him to draw plans and build them a home. Soon Bob’s college professor asked Bob to build him a home, and this was followed by the same request from the Dean of the Industrial Arts Department at EKU. Bob Hager Builder was born, and with it a partnership with Aristokraft Cabinets, so only the best cabinets would be featured in Hager homes.
In 1969, as the business continued to grow, Bob and Oberita opened a cabinet warehouse and showroom on Irvine Street in Downtown Richmond, naming it Hager Cabinets. Four years later they moved to 474 Eastern Bypass and expanded their inventory to include building materials, brick, windows, doors, flooring, lights, and appliances.
In 1994, Bob and Oberita opened Hager Cabinets and Appliances in Lexington. Daughter Linda Hager Pack continues to carry on the family tradition in the business, honoring her parents’ legacy. In 2019, she supervised the construction of Hager Cabinets Showroom in Richmond.
The business continues to flourish today in Richmond and Lexington, and neighbors are invited to celebrate at the Grand Re-Opening in December!
Hager Cabinets is at 1300 E New Circle Road Ste 190 just across the street from Lexus of Lexington.
The grand re-opening celebration at Hager Cabinets and Appliances of Lexington is December 7 from 9am to 1 pm. Hager promotes business-to-business relationships.
Hager History
From the very first home that Bob Hager built for his family to the thousands of houses he built over the years, his focus was always on quality products, careful planning, customer service, and skilled building at an affordable price. Linda Hager Pack continues to honor her parents’ legacy and attributes the current success of the Hager businesses to the talent and commitment of the Hager employees.
