Trivia[]
The store is based directly on the Australian hardware store Bunnings, specifically, the Keperra location.
Recently, in February of 2024, Bunnings and Ludo Studio did the Hammerbarn For Real Life! cross-promotion in which seven Bunnings stores across Australia and New Zealand adopted the Hammerbarn name and theme.
The only two employees with lines, the assistant and checkout operator, share voice actors with the the parents of the character Jack; Hamish Blake and Zoe Foster Blake.
