There's a nice tool rental area at the back of the store, with power tools and equipment of all kinds. Prices for rentals are quite low. At the front of the store, you'll find yeti coolers and a good selection of Carhart clothing. Poke around for a while and you'll find even more great stuff!!!

Randy's Do It Best Hardware store is why we still need small town/locally owned hardware stores!…read more At the time of this review I've had keys made, bought screws two different times and bought a pressure relief valve for my water heater. I've also inquired on things. There's always someone available to assist you and they're always friendly especially Randy! Nothing against Lowe's but service is way better here. I can't speak on how prices compare to somewhere like Lowe's or Home Depot but if I need a hardware type item and I'm home this is my go-to' place since they are only 5 minutes away. When I went to buy screws I showed an associate what I needed and they bagged them up for me. Also, I feel like the associates here are better trained than Lowe's or Home Depot. The store is clean, associates are friendly and you don't have to walk all over creation to find what you need!

Awesome store. A true, old fashioned, hardware store the type we no longer see in urban areas…read more Entering CJ's, it seems like a time machine travel 50 years earlier. And the place is as busy as it could be. A steady stream of visitors kept on coming in. The staff was probably the most knowledgeable and friendly hardware staff I've seen. It puts both Home Depot and Lowe's to shame. The staff knows refrigerators, oven, gas, electrics, you name it. Impressive place.

Without question, the greatest hardware store ever. Walking in the door will take you back over…read morehalf a century and the atmosphere is second to none. From hardware, appliances, furniture, sporting goods, and banjos, this store has it all. Nothing in the store has been updated, but has been gently maintained to keep it in its original state. I once asked for a pound of framing nails and 50 feet of rope. One of several older men working there went to a wood bin and picked up a large handful of nails and put them in the bag and asked if that would do. It was clearly over a pound but charged me for just the pound. Another man went to the back and started measuring rope using is outreached arms. Again, clearly over 50 feet but charged me not a penny more. If you are in the area, its worth spending 20 minutes or so wondering the aisles and finding things you'll never find in Home Depot or Walmart. Nothing about CJ Richardson's is commercial, superficial, or meant to impersonate the good old days. What you see is what you get (and that really says something).
