Visited again looking for a flat head screw driver and rope. was immediately told that they were sold out. again they didn't even make an attempt to look. Today I went to get ice melt. There was a full pallet of ice melt outside. Before I could even read the name on bag there was someone asking me if I needed something. I replied yes I'd like to buy some ice melt please. He said go inside and ask the gentleman at the desk. And then asked me how I found out about the place. As if it's not located on a major road in the city. Walked inside and an older gentleman asked if I needed anything. He obviously didn't work there so I asked him if he was employed there. He answered no and then directed me to the gentleman behind the desk. I kindly asked to purchase 5 bags of ice melt. Desk clerk rolled his eyes took a deep breath and said I gotta check because I don't have alot left. I quickly said no problem sir I'll look elsewhere. Have a good day, and walked out. Everytime I go to this place Im unable to purchase anything. Maybe next time I'll cut my dreads off before I go inside. Ho

Ever since I've moved nearby, Newtown Hardware has been a go-to for all of my Hardware needs…read more Every time I walk in, I'm greeted and asked if I need help. I'm treated with respect and given sound advice. For a small hardware store, I am always surprised that they have exactly what I need. Their employees are friendly and never treat me like a novice. From light bulbs to wood glue to Christmas tree stands, everything I have purchased there has been high quality. I prefer to shop locally, and Newtown Hardware is always my first choice. I'd choose them over any of the big box stores, where someone inexperienced like me has to wander the enormous aisles over and over again to find someone to help me.

My favorite shopping is for holidays. They're one of the few stores to have classic leaf pumpkin bags for Halloween. You can drive around the building behind the old Arrow pharmacy (I think it's a liquor store now) or if you're coming down route 4, make the hazardous left from the main road. There is plenty of parking when you do get into the lot though.

I took it here, went first to the store part. A friendly woman told me to bring it over to the rental area next door. I told her I just didn't have the strength to get the tire on - she said "Joey can probably do it, he's got bear claws for hands". Took it to Joey with the bear claws, he took it in back, and 5-10 minutes later he came back with the tire on the rim. I thanked him, asked how much and he said " nothing, that's what I'm here for". When I said no, I have to give you something, he said no and started walking in back. I threw some money on the counter because he saved me hours of frustration! Thank you Bear Claw Man!

Washington Supply has your back - literally all the time…read more They have every tool you'd need--gardening, soil, wrenches, electronics and adaptors, plugs, outdoor and indoor lighting, hoses, new keys, tile and grout--the list is endless. When our pipes burst, we went here for replacements. The plumber himself goes there, not only for jobs on our house but for his own. Everyone here demonstrates their knowledge and acts as a complete professional. They're warm, kind, fun, and the store is pet-friendly. We've picked paint for our house from here. They also have an adjoining gardening shop where we got pumps for our basketballs and my bike. They also can get plywood or other building materials because they work with contractors, and they will candidly recommend whether you need to go somewhere else to get a part you need--which has only happened once to me in my experience; they just didn't have it in stock at the time, but they wanted me to fix my machine that day. 10 / 10
