If you're local and you need it, go there first. If they don't have it, they will try to find it for you and if they can't get it they will give you suggestions on where you can find it. I very highly recommend this business and it's friendly and helpful staff.

This is an old school hardware store that has more actual hardware than you'll find elsewhere in…read moreBloomington. They do everything from keys (including "digital chip" key clones) to vast amounts of nuts and bolts, SAE and metric, tools, supplies, home/industrial hardware. They are not Grainger or Lee's. They are not Lowes or Menards. Their prices are sometimes high, but they don't sell cheap gear. I wished they'd sell lumber and plants, but maybe it's better that they don't. They get five stars for being the best HARDWARE store in the area. You don't have to buy a huge blister pack to get just one or two of an item. Their clerks know what they have, and it's a good idea to ask them. They sometimes have better alternatives in mind, and their selection is vast for the size store they operate; they can save you a lot of time, unlike the big box stores, where there are no real specialists except the Big Item sales people. Go here first.

Love local shops, there is a small selection of lights with a option to order from a catalog. The…read morecatalog info came on my first visit, the subsequent visits ended with "do you have an appointment?" No I did not, so no help that visit and no offer to schedule an appointment. Came back and not acknowledged, seems if she is with someone who has an appointment all others are invisible, not even a hello or glance. Explained they are rude and my husband did not expect rudeness, but she brought her A game. Note one visit I was told she was not there, so apparently she is the only one to help unless you go to the other side and that went terrible they told me I needed to wait but no one knew where she went. Oh well, lots of other providers with better service and more selection and better prices for same quality. No reason to ever return here. Oddly enough, this is a place to charge your electric vehicles, plenty of unused car bays.

This place is great! I had a broken pressure regulator and no idea what I needed to fix it. I was…read moreable to bring it in and they were able to explain to me exactly what I needed to do and I was able to fix it myself. Thank you so much, this saved me so much of a headache and we have water again. The price was very affordable, much lower than I thought the parts would cost us. Turns out it was more difficult getting the water main turned off because it was Rusty then it was to fix this thanks to their expertise.

I drove to Bloomington to save 30 cents a gallon on gas and eat out somewhere new. After filling…read moreup at Sam's, I saw this Rural King right next to Sam's. I didn't know it was there previously. Ace Hardware used to be my favorite store but RK has replaced them, primarily because in addition to selling most of what Ace has, RK has clothes, shoes, trailers, trailer hitches, cat food, chickens and a candy aisle. Plus they have a limited selection of guns and ammunition. Although I have never bought a gun from RK, I regularly buy ammunition from them because it is reasonably priced and available. I live rurally and this store fits my needs so much more. Even though their high end shirts (Ariat) were priced a full ten dollars more than the Martinsville and Greenwood locations, I found three Lincoln short sleeve shirts for $22 each. A helpful employee helped me sort out what LR and LT means for Lincoln clothing. These labels are on the hangers as well as the shirts themselves. Three cashier lanes were open plus Customer Service was handling a line of their own. There were about four customers in each line but they seemed to be moving okay. Regardless, RK opened up another lane while I was next to pay in my line. Good customer service here.

I was never rural king shopper, but someone told me about always getting their dog food there. I…read morehad always gotten mine somewhere else. I'm glad I checked out Rural King! Their selection is AMAZING! They have a ton of brands, and the prices are pretty good. They seem to have changed the dog treat selection, and I can no longer find my dogs favorite treat. The toys they offer are ok. From what I can tell, they don't offer any rawhide treats, only alternatives. If you ever try one, look at the list of ingredients. Sometimes there is stuff in there I just don't think a dog needs in their body. And one caveat, this review is primarily based on things I shop for. Some departments seemed like an afterthought. They have a big but expensive clothing section, and a nice selection of snacks. The bagged candy is a really good deal. I highly recommend the chocolate covered raisins! They have unique and hard to find items like jewelweed soap or balm for poison ivy and Lava soap. They always have something new in their seasonal area, and during the spring and summer have very cool things. The cat supply area is also very well stocked, and they have a nice selection of cat trees. I used to get a pretty simple one my cats always enjoyed. Overall, it's close to one stop shopping if you don't need food. I don't go there a lot, but I know I can count on them for what I want when I go.

Besides tools, knives and ammo (which, ammo is hard to find in a store around brown county) can also find reasonably priced antiques.
