We are so fortunate to have a local, non-"box" commercial hardware store near us... It is the last of its kind in Land Park and we try to support it anyway we can! The staff are personable and helpful and it carry's many smaller items (like unique screws, nuts and fasteners) in small or singular quantities so you don't have to buy a "lifetime supply" for one project like you would have to at a Lowes or Home Depot! read more

It's my hardware store. I've found the Goldilocks of hardware stores. JUST RIGHT. Pocket Ace- just, no. Emigh- across town, ghetto 'hood but not ghetto prices. East Sacramento- that closed, now it's a plant store. Who needs a hammer when you can have a succulent? Elk Grove: $$$, plus being asked if I need help multiple times is scary (five times in five minutes, rule of thumb). Newbert's: yes, this was the best but it's been closed for decades and is probably a cannabis dispensary now. Archie's: also closed. Don't get me started. Why: Selection: This store has pretty damn much anything you could need, with limits. Kitchen, hardware, tools, electrical, garden, paint, nuts, bolts, chemicals. It's not a warehouse, it's a STORE. So calm down if you don't have every option, you're going to get in the ballpark. This fall I found a great manure fork here (no I don't live in Iowa but it's a great garden tool and mine got "lost" in my last move). PS, the big orange didn't even have one. Price: I was pricing Weber bbqs this summer and the units here were 10% less than pocket ace or Elk Grove. That got my attention. I recently got a great shovel for $16.99 on sale. Yes, a sale. You will have a range of options and usually there is a cheap(Er) option than at other stores, and better made. Recently I was pricing shovels at Home Depot and their cheaply made unforged (but costly) shovels couldn't match the shovel I bought at Hollywood. Help: someone can help you if you ask but you can browse without feeling like you are being stalked. Oddities: my last time here while at check out a customer came in cradling a duck and said out loud "I have a duck that needs repair." No one was fazed. The duck, alas, was a decoy but quite convincing. Need I say more? read more

Love this little hardware store. In the age of Home Depot and Lowes it's tough choice going to the little guy and taking your chances on price and availability or to the mega-box and support modern day slavery as well as the the destruction of the middle class. Well Hollywood Hardware does not disappoint. Great prices. Great selection. Friendly service. Went for a box of 3" star drive deck screws expecting $20 a box. Guy led me right to them and put them in my hand. The price was $11 which made me happy, but then I get to the register and she gives me another 10% off 'cause I'm retired! Really like the store - Give them a try! read more

Do not get keys made here. This is the 3rd time of gotten keys made here that don't work. Hollywood Hardware, please calibrate your keying machine!!! I'm now sitting in my car waiting for someone to let me into my house. You've lost my business and I'll make sure to let everyone I know. read more

Sad to hear this place is closing. Great spot, one of the few hardware stores I didn't feel bored at. Good selection while not being a giant warehouse store. Helpful staff. read more

My husband and I love this store. Staff always answers his questions for the right tool or fixture to use for his project. Once they loaned him a tool he needed for a small portion of a project. we enjoy all the cooking and dining items. I often buy cleaning and gardening equipment. We never miss the realistic displays of mechanical toys during the holidays. read more

Been shopping here since my teens..35+ years..everytime I come here they have always had the oddball bolts I needed..going to miss this store as it's right around the corner from the shop. Wishing everyone the best! read more

I drove by Hollywood Hardware for 12 years before finally stopping by one afternoon. This is a true old school hardware store tucked into a vintage Hollywood Park strip mall just off Freeport Blvd next to the Little Caesar's. Parking is pretty tight and may require a little walk. The store has a lot of hardware type materials packed in from floor to rafters. You can find a lot of the basics including fasteners, plumbing and electrical, lawn and garden, and other basic supplies including some unique finds. They have a lot of older home stuff like two prong cords and speciality items not usually found at the larger stores. Prices are a bit higher here than the warehouse home improvement stores and the selection can be better at other stores, especially for building material and garden. To be fair, a true hardware store wouldn't traditionally have much lumber or plants - you would go to a lumberyard or garden store. Service may be better here, but I don't really have a problem at other stores anyway. This may be the best place for those specialty items you need living in the area with vintage houses needing speciality equipment. However, most people are either shopping online or at the big guys for selection and price. Hollywood Hardware probably won't win an Oscar, but they are still a nice part of the hood. read more

I been coming here for a long time and just recently purchased spray paint for a project at my employers house. Upon parting ways, and not being reimbursed for the paint i took it with me and no longer need those colors, so i attempted to get my money back to purchase items i do actually need. I was denied getting my money back or a store credit. In fact when i accepted the clerks decision without argument she insisted she call the manager acting like she was going to try to help me. Instead, she bad mouthed me and presented my case in such a way that not only did he deny it, he called me crazy for wanting to return it. I didnt ask for a manager. I didnt offer much at my defense because the paint wasnt used and i had my receipt. I should be able to get my money back. Their shelves are bare and their service is even more bare and sparse. In 20 years, this is only the second time ive wanted to exchange something. If im going to get treated like crap, might as well go to a big hardware store that honors their return policy and might actually have what i need for any job. Their paint is also $2.50 cheaper per can, with more choices read more

Hollywood Hardware is my go-to hardware place, even before I check any of the big box stores. In fact, the way I discovered them was when I couldn't find the appropriate plumbing fitting I needed for a project, the sales associate at one of those big box stores told me directly, "if anyone has it, it'll be Hollywood Hardware." Every time I've been in the store, I haven't gotten more than two steps in the door before I'm greeted warmly and asked if I need to know where to look for something. You won't find everything for design and finishing here like you will at those warehouse places, but you will find all the staples. Just a great, local, old fashioned hardware store -- the kind your dad or grandpa used to go to. There are other good local hardware stores in Sacramento, but easily Hollywood Hardware is the best of them. read more

This store will always be remembered. I have passed by this store ever since I was a child. I rarely go in it but all the older people I knew did. This business gave me that small hometown feel. I'm sad they are closing. Every time I look in that direction I won't be seeing it in the future. read more

This place is cool! I needed A really specific type of screw, and they had it! The staff was friendly, and it had a mom and pop feel to it. Prices were definitely reasonable, if not cheap. I appreciated not having to walk through a gigantic warehouse to find something the size of a dime. It felt way less intimidating and the staff tried to help me find it, though they were a little busy. What really got me was they have things besides "hardware". They have a very impressive kitchen selection- from unique gadgets and utensils to cookware. I really enjoyed browsing the kitchen section, it's a pretty expansive selection! read more

It is closed . Website not updated. We drove 25 minutes to find chain link fence and closed sign....

I needed a key made. The man that helped me was a grumpy old man. He told me to take the key off the key ring. He made the key then tossed both keys on the counter. He was very unfriendly. Sheesh! read more

I'm not sure how this place keeps high ratings, but I suspect it's the location and desire to support a local business. My personal experience here has never been good. Sometimes ok, but usually bad. I've had them recommend several repair items, and almost all of them were the wrong size/fit. The prices are high and the selection isn't all that great. Staff? Hit or miss. Overall, I'd rather drive to get what I want and get the right part that first time around. read more

Other companies could take some great lessons in customer service from Hollywood Hardware. They treat you like a star. Get it ? Very knowledgeable and helpful. Also carry a lot of organic products. read more

Hollywood Hardware - Hardware Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Hollywood Park has a gem in in this hardware store. This is a fantastic mom and pop shop, that has a little bit of everything. It is easy to drive right past it on busy Freeport Blvd., but once you discover this great store, you will visit it again and again. This is truly an old-fashioned hardware store complete with open bins as well as packaged items. The variety for the size of the store is good, and if you have any questions or need to find something, the clerks are quick to help you. In the case that they do not have an item, they can order it for you. Unlike a big box store that has an over abundance of products, they have a carefully selected stock based on years in the business. The customer service is top notch: I have always been assisted by a friendly, smiling face. It feels like a small town store in the midst of a busy town. I have also called and asked if they had something in stock, and they were polite and easy to talk to. Trying to find help in a big box store is like finding a needle in a haystack. To have a friendly store to purchase your hardware needs and answer your questions is truly something to give five stars to. Kudos Hollywood Hardware! read more

Hollywood Hardware is a great place to go if you have any questions about hardware...these guys know nothing about Hollywood! They're all about nuts and bolts at this place. I get most of my hardware needs from this historic establishment. Rakes. Pruning shears. A/C Filters. Sprinkler heads...the works! We had a fun house party and somebody got all plastered and somehow cracked our toilet which created a leak...where did I go for answers? Hollywood Hardware. I patched it up with some cement epoxy. Good as new. It's within' walking distance of my home so It's extremely convenient. If you have a question they usually have an answer. Just look for the old guys in plaid. They know all kinds of shit. They are very knowledgeable about "house stuff". I prefer the old guys in plaid to the clueless orange smock wearers at the Home Depot. Five Stars for the cool neon sign and hammer out front. read more

Hollywood Hardware - Hollywood hardware sign - Hardware Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Hollywood Hardware is your classic mom and pop hardware store. They have a good selection of tools, paint, nuts, bolts, and gardening supplies. Their selection is smaller than the big box stores but you then won't need a GPS and a city map to locate the toilet plungers. This store is really great when you're in a hurry. I recently stopped in for paint and was finished in five minutes. It takes me five minutes to park and walk the 1/4 mile to the right aisle at some of the larger stores... It's definitely a different shopping experience at Hollywood Hardware. It's not just the convenience factor, the staff is accessible, friendly, and knowledgeable. They even know some of their customers by name. I think that used to be a thing back in the 50's or something. It's nice to walk into a store and have someone recognize you as a repeat customer. read more

If you're in need of a tiny brass screw or a bag of concrete, or a washer for an old bike, how about on one of those snap and Doohickey's for your car interior! Yep, they got it! And everything in between even housewares and seasonal items. And if you don't get over there for Christmas displays shame on you! The second time you come in the store you'll swear you're old friends with the staff! read more

Hollywood Hardware has been around for years. They really have a nice variety of odds and ends (you would be surprised at what you can find here) and the staff are really friendly and always super helpful. And even if there is a particular item you are looking for, and they happen not to carry it, they will either a) order it for you or b) tell you about another great local business where you can find it. I love to shop local and support small business - so next time you need a hardware or household item, give Hollywood Hardware your hard earned cash! read more

Love Hollywood Hardware and so glad they're open. Super helpful store staff. I can usually just come in with an idea of what I need and I'm usually leaving with exactly what I need and a little more insight. read more

The kitchen sink. It's the most invaluable part of the house - we wash our hands in it, pile dishes in it, clean our vegetables, soak things, and when my wife's not watching, I wash my motorcycle parts in it. When it sprung a leak mid-day Friday it was pure panic fright scare. We were cooking up a dinner for the family that night, had a pile of vegetables that needed to be washed, dishes, and steamed beets that needed to be drained and rinsed, and ton of other things you take for granted that require the sink. Crazed, my wife started calling plumbers and we couldn't find one that could make a quick visit. So, without my wife knowing, I started to take it apart and a new panic set in. These parts were from the 50's and I wasn't sure I could replace them... I took a gamble and put everything in a bucket and headed over to Hollywood Hardware. The minute I walked in a fellow stocking the drink fridge saw me and uttered "... okay, follow me." He found every piece I needed - gaskets, new drain, washers, plumbers putty, thread tape, and pipes. He suggested a few tricks of the trade, and $19.80 later I was installing all the bits while my wife made us tasty cocktails. It was smooth as silk, no leaks, and we were on autopilot for the rest of the evening. I think of Hollywood Hardware as the local knowledge center - a library of tools, parts, and know-how that is easy to overlook, a valuable resource for us. Cheers Hollywood Hardware! read more

Local smolcal, I go where I get results. If that means Home Depot, Walmart etc. Then I do it. But this place breaks all the rules. This has got to be a Sacramento Landmark and the best hardware store in the world. Plus they have a website. I know that may sound like a bit of an exaggeration but go here just once and see for yourself. They are giving the corporate giants a run for their money. read more

everyone is so nice and helpful- helped me during our recent storms when i needed to get gutter extensions due to my flooded backyard. a woman who works there even helped me attached them all together which i probably couldn't have figured out on my own. you would not find help like that at a big box store, i am sure i would still be standing in the middle of a never-ending aisle in a panic. great to have a friendly neighborhood store, please don't go changin' (and they have sour cherry candy!) read more

I am an ardent supporter of locally owned businesses. This hardware store supplies and staff are part of the fabric of Hollywood Park. Walking distance from my house. Great selection of heirloom tomatoes and specialty soda. Suzie st the cash register is a treasure! read more

It's nice to have a local store where you know the people. It's not a place to get lumber, so I still visit Home depot on occasion, but I'd much rather spend my money here. read more

Good find by my girl! This place is great. i went there for a gas line for a new stove i bought. they had everything i needed at comparable prices. I even noticed that a bag of fertilizer (same brand and weight) was going for a buck cheaper here than at lowe's. This is going to be my new goto spot... plus they had a HUGE selection of bolts and screws. the people there seemed pretty friendly. I just wish i had stopped in earlier... I'd much rather hand these people my cash than lowe's or home depot. also, yeah...they have an awesome sign. read more

While Hollywood doesn't have enough space to stock everything in the world, they do have most things. They are helpful and will special order hard-to-find things. They have changed management and have great improved since I wrote my first review way back when. The store is now clean, well organized, with better lighting and helpful staff. They've recently remodeled too. read more

Hollywood Hardware now my 1st place to go for hardware needs. 73 years old and my eyes aren't what they use to be. Can NOT read tiny font on light bulbs. The young man who helped me at Hollywood Hardware found the bulb I needed. As soon as I got home I installed them and they worked perfectly. I can not say enough good about the staff at Hollywood Hardware! read more

Went to buy a couple of items today and realized at the counter I didn't have my wallet in my purse. But Susan, the woman who was checking me out, said that I could take my items and come back tomorrow and pay! What?! What kind of old-school, belief-in-the-good-of-humanity, Mayberry operation is this? I thanked her but said no, I would drive home and get my wallet. Thankfully it had fallen out in my car so I went right back in to settle properly. But the fact that she believed in my honesty and never met me before was such a welcome experience! I'll be back for sure. read more

maybe its covid "supply chain problems" but the shelves here are literally bare. went looking for the most basic pieces of door lock hardware and they had nothing. lots of unpopular stuff remaining looking like it's been there for thirty years. lots of taped up packaging. i also needed a file and found something that "would work" but all of the useful stuff was gone. counter guy was friendly to the few people ahead of me that he knew but didn't even acknowledge my existence. definitely seems like a regulars only type place. wouldn't even care except the rest of the experience was so lacking it bothered me. i'd suggest going elsewhere and don't think about making a special trip here unless you're already in the area. read more

Hollywood Hardware is a charming family owned hardware store with a little bit of everything a household might need. I arrived here, as my last stop from what appeared to be an endless scavenger hunt...as I was in search of specific canning supplies. It was hot outside and I was hot under the collar from running around town, however, my attitude quickly changed when the super sweet store clerk directed me to the kitchen and canning supply isle. I scanned the shelves and stared in awe at the impressive collection of high-end jars and canning supplies. In their outstanding selection of kitchen gadgets, implements, canning supplies, and jars I spotted Italian Bormoli Rocco stuff. These jars are also known as Quattro Stagioni, and they are a regular item at this humble little hardware store. So there you have it. Come to Hollywood hardware and you might find what you are looking for. By the way, if they don't have it in stock they can order just about anything here. read more

Hollywood Hardware - I Love these jars - Hardware Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Yep, this is the place, kind of like a situation comedy, and you can provide the laugh track. Story 1: I needed keys to my new office made a few weeks ago. I go in, wait in line and meanwhile there's somebody returning keys they'd made that didn't work. It's my turn and I tell the counter guy I need a few keys made. He looks at my keys, looks at the machine and says, "well, I can make them but they probably won't fit." "Um - Huh?" says me. "Key machine is not aligned right." He nods to the guy with the problem who just got his refund. "Sixth returned key today, I'd advise against you having your keys made here. But I will if you want me too." Uproarious laughter. I exit stage center. Story 2: I've got this stupid watering/sprinkler system that the previous owners didn't have dug down deep enough. And the ex hired someone incompetent to fix a few leaky sprinkler heads - and now they're broken again. And now my trees are dying because the ground is too saturated! But this new, cool friend of mine is fixing it all for me. Digs it up. Spies the problem right away. "See this pipe?" he says, "It's too thin, not glued in right, leaking water from the crappy seal." (I play along like I know what he's talking about). Plus it needs some kind of esoteric washer or flange or dohickey thing. So off to Hollywood Hardware we go. My friend asks for a few feet of the same kind of PVC pipe cut. The sharp gal behind the counter takes one look at my too skinny, shameful sprinkler pipe and nearly kills it dead with contempt. "You're going to replace it with that," she asks my friend, eyebrows raised, shaking her head at the doom and tragedy that will fall upon my yard if we make the repair with that skinny-ass, no good pipe. "It's too thin you know." He knows, shrugs his shoulders at the futility of it all, but we need to match the existing stupid system. She finally acquiesces. Finds the right pipe (better! thicker!) and gets the piece cut. Rings up that and the other dohickeys and sends us on our way for under $20, washing her hands clean of our potential disaster with another little shake of her head. On to help the next poor sod. Just another day in the life of a hardware superhero. read more

What a cute store! Hollywood Hardware has that classic 'mom n' pop shop' feel, all the standard items you would need in a hardware store, friendly and helpful staff members, and HOLY CROW their kitchenware section is more like an upscale gift shop. Candles, jewelry, decorative tins, home decor, bags and purses, scarves... if we weren't hungry and on our way to lunch, I could've shopped that one section for at least 30-40 minutes. Awesome stuff! I'll be back soon when they start stocking live plants, and for more drooling over pretty things. read more

Horrible customer service! Apparently the customer is never right at this place. Ordered a rake and had it delivered to Hollywood hardware. Got an email saying it was available on Tuesday. Called to tell them I would pick it up on Sunday. Got there on Sunday. And they had sold it to someone else...my order... then they spent most of the time telling us that we were wrong and that it was delivered the week before (well I didn't order it then so it couldn't have arrived before I ordered it) three different people just wanted to tell us it was our fault that they sold something with our name on it to someone else. The only saving grace, was a younger woman who had some sense that customer service is important... apologized, and re ordered so it will arrive in 4 days... too late for this time, but I guess I can use it next year. Oh there's also a sign outside that says they deliver. So we asked if they could deliver it to our place, since this was a hassle for us to come down to them. Was told no a few times, then the younger woman said she would personally deliver it. If you are going to get any good customer service it will be from her. Don't bother with anyone else. But seriously?! To argue with a customer,tell them they were wrong, making it worse, when we are already frustrated that they sold our stuff that we already paid for. That's not right. (In the inventory it said -1, lol) When a company messes up, it's there job to take responsibility and to do whatever it takes to keep the customer happy. Go above and beyond. Maybe offer something else, since it was their mistake. Also what type of hardware store has leaks in the roofs, and buckets in the aisles, I feel like they should know a few people to fix that. When leaving we heard another customer ask where the tools were and a guy just said, "over there somewhere" read more

This store is in my neighborhood, and 9 times out of 10 I cannot think of a good reason to go to a big box chain instead of here. Occasionally, very occasionally I've found some prices to be a little higher here than the chains but I'm happy to say that most of the time they will be comparable or less. I like that with many items like nails and bolts I can get what I need and not have to buy a whole box. Compliments to the home and kitchenware buyer-great items that I don't see everyday, a lot of things that make life just a little easier-I got a peanut butter stirrer there once for natural peanut butters that separate and a spout for pouring grease from a frying pan. One thing I love is that if you see an item like a cast iron pan, or a sifter, they come in just about every size. Service is the best I've had in any hardware store. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and always available. This place fills a void in my area because it's either go north to downtown or south to the Home Depot(s). Love the original lighted sign and the feel and layout of the place, and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that it's been a family owned business, the same family, since it opened. read more

** UPDATE ** As if the cool sign and the dizzying array of nut & bolts weren't enough, you may now bring your fluorescent bulbs (including compact fluorescents) and batteries here for recycling/proper disposal. Talk with Art Waters if you can't find someone there who knows about this program. Honestly, what is there not to love about this throwback to another era? I now upgrade from 4 to 5 stars. This is an old-school hardware store, which you can clearly see the minute you check out the great kitschy '50's blue neon sign with a giant hammer. This is not the place to go if you are looking for a big paint color selection. This is not the place to go if you are looking for a big fixture selection. This IS the place to go if you are looking for just the right nut or bolt or to problem-solve your fix-it dilemma. They are service-oriented and willing to help. If you are sick of the big warehouses, check Hollywood Hardware out. They are a blast from the past. read more

Hollywood Hardware is a great store. I fell in love with the place on my first visit, and they've been my #1 choice in home goods stores ever since. They almost always have what I need and they're pretty friendly and helpful too. There is one old curmudgeonly dude who always cracks me up. He'll begrudgingly help me find stuff, and then kinda look me over like 'I sure hope you have a man to help you with this.' I love the way the store is set up. It's small and easy to navigate. They even have a home & gift section. It's not a place most folks would consider for gift shopping, but they have a great selection. It's the perfect place to go for a housewarming or wedding gift. Next time you find your self in need of something from the hardware store pass up Home Depot and give these guys a try. read more
