excellent store with good products and excellent service. They give great advice like any Home…read moreHardware I've been to and they know where things are in the store. the paint department lady has been there a long time and really knows her stuff. Bonus is the Beautitone paint is made in Canada and it's great paint. I find the quality of products they sell are superior to most things Home Depot sells, lasts longer, and is priced competitively. well stocked too with top of the line tools (Milwaukee for example) and budget friendly (Ridley). the lumber is very straight too!

This is the hardware store we hang out at the most. But I've discovered that not all hardware…read morestores are created equal - even if they are in the same chain! If you can't find it here, try the one in Carleton Place. It's not as far as you'd think, from here - maybe 20 minutes. But if you're doing a big project, they most likely have what you need.

PRINCESS AUTO! lol! No car parts here and barely any accessories! More like a Lee Valley Tools. This company is Canadian which is cool and more stores are currently being built. Staff were friendly.

If you are familiar with the brand, Princess Auto sells all kinds of car maintenance products, and shelving and other items to outfit your garage to do the repairs and maintenance required. They have things to fix your car: wheels and tires (after all, it's winter now... are your snow tires on?); doodads to check the pressure of your tires; trailer hitches; and all and sundry for the DIY car enthusiast. So why do *I* like it when I don't know the right side of a wrench? Because they are Canadian owned and operated, and they sell work gloves and those heating things to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter. I go there maybe every 3-4 months to check out what is on display. It's different than a hardware store, but also good and useful.

The last thing this little store needs is more people crowding through but I can't help myself…read more This is the perfect little shop in the perfect little town to browse for that little gadget you didn't know they made but that you now need desperately. Have fun!
