From a Trusted Store to a Growing Platform

For decades, our store on Great Junction Street has served the people of Leith with one clear focus — stock what people genuinely need and run the business properly.

Over time, Anything & Everything has become known as a dependable place to find practical solutions for everyday life — from tools and decorating supplies to household essentials, homeware and more. Not through trends or shortcuts, but through consistency, strong stock, and attention to detail.

As the business grew, so did the need to evolve.

That evolution led to the creation of Ministry of Hardware — a platform designed to extend our reach beyond the shop floor, offering the same trusted products and dependable standards to a wider audience.

Today, Anything & Everything and Ministry of Hardware operate side by side — built on the same standards, the same approach, and the same commitment to doing things properly.

Established in Leith. Built to grow.
