It was nice to grab odds and ends for an art project, volunteer activity and church, etc. The kitchen supplies are plentiful and they always carry decent cleaning supplies. I've bought everything from batteries, card games, handkerchiefs, and toy. The hot sauce shaped like a grenade was delicious. I tried the original spicy flavor. Nice treats and candy at the checkout.

I have seen the store front multiple times driving down Ashby. The main entrance is around back. Upon entering it reminds me of Orchard Supply Hardware. Back in the day when I was farming and owned rentals I think I almost lived at OSH. The other one. It was nice to cruze around a well laid out hardware store with just about anything you'll need. I was looking for a brass gas fitting and there was drawer for it but sold out. Popular item I guess. Even with that it's a great hardware store. Wide aisles and plenty of items. There are times I could just drive the extra few miles to go here instead of Home Outhouse.

Yes, compared to a huge box store but you pay for the convenience of having a neighborhood hardware store. I went into the store looking for packing supplies since I was planning to ship some fragile items and wanted to personally box them myself. Kay, the owner, was very helpful and I also enjoyed the interaction between her and her sons who helped her.

Usually we see an employee soon as we arrive and are able to as them for directions, but sadly not this time. That is something I appreciate coming here is there is usually someone to greet you and point you in the right place. There was one gentleman that made a comment on my taking pictures, but he didn't have a vest on or asked if he could help me find something. They have added new signage in their parking lots telling you to move all the way forward so can pass you as the parking lot is tight. Parking is an issue at times as it's a small lot. We've had to park on the street before near their garden center. Overall this is a solid hardware store with usually easy to spot employees, that are happy to help you.

The future here is unclear, as the local town wants nothing but more housing, and this site is in the crosshairs for "redevelopment". But for now they're open and a good place to go. They're focused on "supplies", meaning hardware, there's no toys, trinkets, garden tractors, housewares or other stuff. I wish that True Value had online stock status.

He led me out to the one row I hadn't looked at, at the front on the register side. There was the Brasscraft replacement for the cruddy junk-metal bonnet nut that Delta inexplicably put in their otherwise OK bathroom faucets. Happy happy joy joy! True Value lists this BrassCraft part on-line, same $5.99 as on-line with 1 week shipping. Clearly marked with the Delta RP6060 number. BrassCraft's part is thicker and heavier duty than the junk-metal original, and fits a 27mm socket vs 15/16 or 31/32 inch tools. But also does fit the presumably inch dimension threads under the handle.. Old, old, school, as someone posted, not a lot of power tools, lumber or plants. Yep. I don't go to hardware stores for power tools, or lumber, I go for hardware, and hardware is what they're all about. ALL the sizes of copper pipe, brass pipe, galvanized steel pipe, black-oxide pipe, ABS and PVC pipe, flexible pipe, pipe fittings, adapters, screws, nuts, bolts, nails, specialty nails, good cleaner and polish selection, real electrical / other workshop, brackets, ducts. In a word, hardwared..

I came into the store looking for a part for my portable washer and dryer, and I was assisted by Seth and Jose in the Plumbing Department. Both of them went above and beyond to help me. They took their time to research the issue, listened carefully to what I needed, and worked with me to find the best possible solution. I never felt rushed, and they were patient, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire interaction. Their knowledge, teamwork, and willingness to go the extra mile made a stressful situation much easier for me. It's not every day you receive that level of care and attention, and I truly appreciate the effort they put in. I wanted to make sure their outstanding service is recognized. They are a great representation of your store and of excellent customer care. Thank you for having such dedicated employees. Sincerely, Cj
