This is a classic small town hardware store.

It also has some surprises - winemaking and beermaking supplies, including carboys, the only store in Unicoi County to carry those to my knowledge. In case the guys are busy with a customer, do not hesitate to ask the woman behind the counter to help you - she knows her stuff as well as any man.

Going to this Ace Hardware is like time traveling back to the 1980s or 90s. From the outdated cash…read moreregister to their outdated inventory its kind of bazaar. Whatever they didn't sell from 20 years ago is still sitting on the shelf, like outdated telephone jacks and other random merchandise. It is one of the larger Aces I have been to and everything is very spread out and open. Not a lot of foot traffic on the day I was there, in fact I was the only one there and the employees seemed bored and tried to be helpful but couldn't actually help with what I came in for. They do make keys there and their system is different from the other major chains so if you are having a tough time getting a copy they might can help you out. This business seems to have some major pet peeve about cell phones as their were 2 NO cell phone signs posted on the front door and then another one posted at the register. Looks like they had a bad batch of customers on their phone and could not get over it haha. If u plan on running in and making a purchase under 10$ then you should bring cash as their sign at the register posts that purchases under 10 should not be run on credit. So there you have it.

I am so happy to see this hardware store operating.

I did, anyway. So it's wonderful to see two familiar faces when I go to Hometown Hardware. This store is smaller than St. Paul Builders, but Steve and Jerry are quick to order anything you need. I wanted some DAP plaster-of-Paris powder, and it was waiting for me the next time I went in--and at a good price. Steve and Jerry are professional, accommodating, and also very nice and friendly. I predict that Hometown Hardware will become as much a local institution as St. Paul Builders was. And I very much appreciate that I don't have to drive a long way just to pick up hardware and supplies. The location in downtown St. Paul is extremely convenient.
