Our story
In Envigado since 1955
We're a family-run hardware and building-supply store. We started out selling fuel, and that's where the name comes from: la bomba is the fuel pump.
More than 70 years
First came the fuel
Don Pedro Pablo González sold fuel in Envigado. In 1955 he branched out, and that's how Almacén y Ferretería La Bomba was born.
The name stuck: la bomba means the fuel pump. That's why there's a red pump on our logo and on our paint label.
1955
The pump is still in the store
A vintage fuel pump still stands inside the store.
