"I love this store! It's a true blue old school hardware store that almost always has what I need as a fix it myself homeowner and gardener. Great tools, supplies, plus the more fun necessities in all housewares every season including specialty items. You could stock your whole kitchen with quality things from here plus have great gifts and kid's stuff too. The staff is totally accessible and knowledgeable and nice and I can be in and out fast. I go several times a month and can avoid all the big stores that take too much time and are harder to navigate and often disorganized. I highly recommend trying our small stores first and this one is exemplary. Plus it smells like a real hardware store and just opening the door is a pleasure to my senses. Long live tradition that is high functioning and prices are no more than the big stores, and often less. 5 stars and this review is long overdue for how much I love it. Going there now for 2" nails, a garden tarp, bathroom cleaning wipes, laundry soap, a new teapot, and to return some electrical supplies that I ended up not needing."

"Totally old school local hardware store. Not a huge selection, but they have a bunch of unique things. I also scored a cast iron skillet for $5! Great place to grab supplies in a pinch."

"It's a great neighborhood hardware store. There's always someone ready to answer a question / point me in the right direction (quite the contrast from the chain stores). Yes, it's a neighborhood store, not the resource for a general contractor building a new home, but whenever I've looked for things for home projects, including gardening essentials, they've had it."

"Small neighborhood hardware store. Quality selection with lumber and garden stuff in the secret back room. Long live small hardware stores!"

"They have a little bit of everything. Small store but very nice to have around. Okay customer service."
