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).

The store itself is also large, which is jam-packed with offerings in hardware, lawn and garden, paint, plumbing/cleaning supplies, electrical items, hand and power tools, housewares, nursery, sporting goods, and even a Hallmark and a gift shop! It seems like it's a favorite spot of the locals, as the place was busy and the patrons seem to be taking advantage of their great deals and competitive prices. We came here to pick up some ornaments; feel free to call them ahead and put items on hold - they'll be happy to do so for you!
