It's a great asset to our community with the Mom and Pop ideology. Even though they have every modern product as well as older products that are integral to the area! Shopping there is like taking a step back in time when the customer was appreciated! I've never went there without finding what I need! Regardless if it's modern or what some might consider antiquated. You don't come across places like this very often! Many people thought the big box stores would eliminate them and their sister store, "Sawmills Hardware"!! I go there for all my needs instead of the Box Stores simply because they are customer oriented and priced competitively!!

I have been looking to get a new smoker and when I go to the big box stores I asked questions and only heard things like this isn't my department or that's a good question I will have to look into it. Bill was not only able to answer my questions but educated me on the differences between all the Tragers i was looking at and helped me decide on the ironwood XL which i have been very happy with. I will always help out a small local business and this one is a gem.

This review is specifically in regards to sales of a John Deere mower. I have not had to deal with…read moreservice or any other aspects of the business yet and will update this if anything changes. I had a great experience purchasing my John Deere from Hickory Home & Garden. I was originally looking to buy at one of the big box hardware stores, but I would rather support a local business and also they have the machines in stock where I could physically go and see them. I was helped pretty much as soon as I came in. They had the model I was looking for in the back as it had just come in and they let me go back there and take a look. After browsing a bit and comparing models I went ahead with the purchase. They scheduled a delivery for like the next day and the delivery went great. The machine show up clean, prepped and ready to go! Nothing but a good experience so far with Hickory Home & Garden Center and I hope it continues when I eventually come in for service.

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.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like you took a step back in time- in the best of ways…read more Wooden floors and a mixture of practical items and lovely gifts greet you at first glance. This store is broken up into two big rooms. The one towards the left is more upscale gift like. You will find lotions, cards, kitchen gadgets and candles/soaps. While it is a bit pricey, I love the local and well curated feel. They have nice candies and snacks from Asheville and some great natural products. Some old fashioned soda in the back for hot summer days. The right side is more your everyday stuff and traditional general store items. You will find actual hardware, command strips, soil, birdseed and leaning supplies. The front has cute games and books. Again, check the prices as some are quite fair (I got birdseed and a birdfeeder for the cat that costs similar to Amazon prices) but some can be high. Other random info- They also do handiwork and make key copies. That's nifty. You can become a member and get some discounts if you wish (it's free). The workers are super friendly and more than willing to help. Street parking.
