The Canal Street Hardware Store is one of those small town hardware stores that is becoming rare…read more With the big commercial stores in almost every area these little Mom & Pop stores are going out of business. We are blessed to have this one in Oxford! They sell just about everything. From chainsaw chains, chimney parts, canning supplies, boots, lawn mowers, guns, nails, to horse feed.....they have it all covered. If you need something they don't have they will order it for you. I needed a gauge for my canner and they looked it up on the computer and showed me what was available so they could order it for me. Lowe's, Tractor Supply and WalMart are less than ten miles away and I was afraid it would cause them to go out of business. No, it hasn't seemed to hurt them. Their prices are comparable to the bigger stores not over priced like you might think. The couple who own it are in the store often and wait on you just as much as the staff. Very courteous service. If you need help a clerk or one of the owners will come to help you. If you have a question about some project you are working on, they will take the time to answer your questions and show you what you need. Someone will load your vehicle if needed. Week-end mornings this little store is usually bustling with customers. Everyone seems to know each other and it is hard to get out of there sometimes because everyone wants to talk to you. We buy all our horse feed there every month and the price is very fair and about the same as other places. The feed we buy is manufactured in a town, Afton not that far away. So it is always very fresh and our girls love it and thrive on it. I highly recommend shopping here. If you are in the mood for a drive this little store is worth every mile!

Hardware store! The one and only Wist Lumber. This store has a special place in my heart. I found…read morethis business on yelp and drove to it even though it had a completely blank page because when I called to ask for whatever it was I needed that day, they were polite, warm and prompt. I have basically been back there every other day for the last two weeks for whatever our production needs have been rather than driving back into Binghamton or hitting Home Depot on my way back to the hotel. I spend at least $60 every time I walk through the door and would rather give that to a small business. Thanks Yelp!

I did a search on yelp and found Colwell. There weren't any reviews and just a photo of the outside of the store, but the man who answered was just about the most pleasant voice I'd heard from anyone ... maybe ever. Upon visiting the store, I found everything I needed, checked out and left. Everything was as you'd expect, except cleaner and more organized. If you need hardware or supplies, this is your place. 5 stars.
