I’ve just discovered Steel Goat Marketplace, how long have you been around?
You would be surprised how many people, even in our home community of Penn Hills have never stepped foot in our building. Those who are curious enough to walk through our doors always have similar stories; “I’ve always drove by this building but never knew what was inside!” When they finally see what they have been missing out on they ask the same question, how long have you been here?? The short answer is Steel Goat Marketplace is a fairly new endeavor, it has always been in the background of the business formerly known as Penn Hills Lawn and Garden.
