Life goes on! What I did find was the most well stocked hardware store ( excepting my fire ant killer ) that I've ever seen! Fascinating! I did see and photograph the smallest Green Egg grill ever seen! You could probably fit one large steak or a package of wieners on that tiny thing! There was a tremendous amount of paints and stains! Gardening tools galore that seemed reasonably priced. The shelves were fully stocked and there was a more than adequate amount of friendly store associates on hand! This is the way a hardware store should operate!

Once, even twice, I can understand. NOT every time!! She will not wait on me again.

Actually there is one in this small, beautiful town! It's a testament to the local home folks for supporting their hometown businesses! I went in there looking for some cloth hand towels. The very kind and helpful lady in charge told me they didn't have any. That was a bit of a surprise to me because they seemed to have an abundance of everything! Not only hardware but also a huge selection of yard art and other display pieces. Like I said; this place is most definitely a throwback in time and its unusual! Even though they didn't have what I needed ; I loved the experience! Any person my age who remembers the way things were in the past should visit not only this place but the entire Main Street of Rutherfordton, N.C. ! It's a thriving small town with much to offer.

Anyways, this True Value had many, many, plastic ones in various price ranges. Perhaps they are to replace the brass ones! There were two nice girls minding the store and they knew where various items were located! I appreciated their kindness in helping me find other items that I needed. The girls deserve 5 stars! The store by itself deserves 3 stars because they didn't have what I needed!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more This Northern Tool & Equipment location sold me a brand-new Stihl MS 182 chainsaw that was completely defective right out of the box. They didn't test it, didn't check anything, just took the money and sent me on my way with a tool that DID NOT START even once. After wasting my time and driving 30 minutes back to the store, the employees confirmed exactly what I told them -- the chainsaw wouldn't start at all. And even after THEY failed to get it running, they still refused to take responsibility. No refund. No replacement. No solution. Just excuses and "go somewhere else." This is unacceptable, unprofessional, and shows a complete lack of accountability. Selling a dead tool and then pushing customers away is not customer service -- it's negligence. I will never return to this location, and I strongly recommend avoiding this store if you value your time, money, and basic respect as a customer.

The most striking things about my visit today were the genuinely nice store associates and the amount of merchandise in stock!

My wife and daughter will be spending a lot of time up there in the next few days wrapping Christmas presents and hiding them from my grandkids! Great Northern Tool is my new go to place for anything tool or gardening related stuff! I can find no fault with this store whatsoever! Believe me ; I do have a critical eye!

Bullis hardware an old time hardware store, they have most everything you might need. However,…read moreit's not the same store it was a couple of years ago. Mr. Bullis turned that store into a gold mine. The customer service and help was beyond excellent. He knew where everything was at, just like his assistant Jerry. I would go into the store with a problem I needed a solution to and either Mr. Bullis or Jerry would give their undivided attention to find a solution. Sadly Mr. Bullis passed away several years ago but Jerry was still there and the service remained the same. Then Jerry left, not sure what happened, they said he retired, but it wasn't the same and their business slacked off. About 8 months later I went to Bullis hardware and Jerry was back, he came out of retirement, their business boomed again. About 6 months after that, I went to Bullis and Jerry was gone again. I asked where he was and didn't really get a response. Now the store is manned by Mr. Bullis's grandsons and his daughter and son in law. When the daughter or son in law is in the store the service is fantastic. When the grandsons and their wives are there which is most of the time, the service is terrible, they act like they are doing you a favor by waiting on you. If you ask for help it really isn't great. I know they don't have the experience that Mr. Bullis or Jerry had and in time that may come but time is running out. They are resting on their laurels and the reputation Mr. Bullis made with the store. But the reputation is being degraded by their current people working the store. Their business is down, they don't appear to be as busy as they used to be. They need to realize they have serious competition. There is an ACE hardware on the east side, a new ACE hardware on Reidville Road, Johnsons ACE Hardware in Wellford, I've been to all these stores and their service is like what Bullis used to be. I hate to see Bullis going in the direction they are going, I like that store but it IS NOT THE SAME.

There are a few helpful employees on the floor, and I appreciate them. But the overall tone of this…read morestore is set by leadership, and it's consistently cold and disengaged. The people at the top--those at the front counter and in charge--rarely smile, offer no greeting, and seem irritated by simple customer interaction. A "thank you," a smile, "would you like it in a bag?" or even "have a nice day"--none of those basic human courtesies seem to exist here. What's more disappointing is that this behavior seems to trickle down. Whether by example or expectation, the culture has become one of indifference. I've given this place several chances, hoping the vibe might shift, but it hasn't. So I've started shopping elsewhere--even if it means driving farther or paying a bit more. I'm not just buying hardware; I'm choosing where I feel respected.

(Keep in mind, my idea of a date is a trip to a hardware store, sometimes just to browse.) There is always someone available to help customers, their selection of items is amazing for a store their size, and they make sure to stock supplies people in this area need. Plus they have a U Haul truck rental that makes life so much easier than going south to Greenville/Spartanburg or North to Hendersonville. I often choose Landrum Hardware over Lowes or Home Depot because i know the people there, and I want them to stay in business for a good long time. For a non-chain store, their prices are more than fair. Thank you Landrum Hardware for being here. Susan Lane, Tryon, NC
