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.

Slightly less convenient location, but truth be known, I'd drive 50 miles more if needed. First off, these employees are super nice! And it's not just "hi", "have a nice day". They're just exceptionally nice. Also, they're crazy helpful. I walk in the door and show the gentleman what I need. He says "oh, that's a union brass diverter valve, come down here, I'll show you where it is" what I didn't tell him it's I spent two weeks figuring out who the original manufacturer was! Should've just come here to begin with. I typically only shop at Lowe's. Lowe's didn't have what I needed. From now on, I'm coming here for any plumbing need I have regardless if Lowe's has it or not!!! . Thanks guys!

Their staff is also most helpful and I think they know everything about hardware, plumbing, pumps, power tools and more.

I still use a pair of custom aluminum framed windows to fit in my odd dimensioned awning style windows in the winter for added insulation.

The people at the top--those at the front counter and in charge--rarely smile, offer no greeting, and seem irritated by simple customer interaction. A "thank you," a smile, "would you like it in a bag?" or even "have a nice day"--none of those basic human courtesies seem to exist here. What's more disappointing is that this behavior seems to trickle down. Whether by example or expectation, the culture has become one of indifference. I've given this place several chances, hoping the vibe might shift, but it hasn't. So I've started shopping elsewhere--even if it means driving farther or paying a bit more. I'm not just buying hardware; I'm choosing where I feel respected.

This is a small town hardware store that, although it can't compete with Lowes or Home Depot in the…read moresheer volume of items they carry, I honestly think Landrum Hardware is THE BEST SMALL TOWN HARDWARE STORE I have ever been in. (Keep in mind, my idea of a date is a trip to a hardware store, sometimes just to browse.) There is always someone available to help customers, their selection of items is amazing for a store their size, and they make sure to stock supplies people in this area need. Plus they have a U Haul truck rental that makes life so much easier than going south to Greenville/Spartanburg or North to Hendersonville. I often choose Landrum Hardware over Lowes or Home Depot because i know the people there, and I want them to stay in business for a good long time. For a non-chain store, their prices are more than fair. Thank you Landrum Hardware for being here. Susan Lane, Tryon, NC

There was a short time that the store was closed in 2010 after the passing of the last remaining original family proprietor until the present owners reopened the doors in 2011 but that's like splitting hairs. Believe it or not they still carries staples like bread, butter and milk, but also other essential items for mountain life like local vegetables, jams, and honey to rakes, paint, plumbing and things that many people have never seen. The old original scales and carts can still be found scattered around the store amongst so many other things from the past that would be nearly impossible to find these days even if you have an Amazon Prime account. Although there has been some technology installed, the old cash register from 1913 still sits close by and is still operational if there is ever a need. So while Pace General still has thousands of traditional and contemporary items for sale, it's also a museum of mountain memories and memorabilia that will carry on this family legacy. If you really want a history lesson on the area spend a few hours here then drive around the area and see what living history looks like...
