    Walked here on a lunch break with a coworker during COVID, evidenced by lots of social distancing signage, blue tape on the floor for checkout spacing, and toilet paper/paper towel rolls being sold a la carte at the front of the store (limit 2 of each). It's a hometown hardware store with less stock and higher prices than Lowe's and Home Depot. Plenty of parking in shared shopping center lot. Some persnickety employees (grumpy old men) but majority are friendly, helpful when available. Place is well kept, fairly clean, and pretty easy to navigate. A co-worker needed some random bolts, a soldering iron, and a few electronic ends. I was looking for a 9/16" LH threaded bolt or tap to repair a bike. I struck out but he scored his hardware bounty. Not a wasted trip, especially on foot during a lunch break. If you absolutely need something for a home repair or improvement project but don't have time to search all over, this may not be the one stop you choose.

    2019 plants for the garden.

    Since moving to Chesapeake 3 years ago I've been buying my garden starter plants here. The plants have been consistently well developed and healthy and considerably cheaper than the big box stores up by the interstate. I've also picked up some other garden accessories here as well such as nets for pole beans and an awesome all metal sprinkler last year. In addition I have another story to share regarding one of locksmiths here. Last spring (2018) I had a very old key that I needed duplicated and they were unable to do it as blanks aren't made for that type of key anymore and they were out of them. The locksmith went the extra mile and let me know about another locksmith in the city that could help me out. He didn't have to do that, and it was very appreciated. Great place, friendly people. I'll be using them for years to come.

    Not Home Depot for sure. But quaint...and convenient.

    They sell chicken coops people! Chicken coops! But you're probably not going to Taylor's for a chicken coop--you're probably going there for an around-the-house pieces part that you need and you either 1) don't want to drive all the way to the big box home improvement center to get it, or 2) you just want to support a local small business. Both options are good ones and you'll leave satisfied knowing you did either or both. However . . . Don't come to Taylor's expecting to find a unique widget for a broken piece of whatever you have. It's likely Taylor's won't have it...and if they do, it will probably be more expensive than at a big box store. For me, walking in to Taylor's and oftentimes smelling the popcorn they have for their customers brings back some very fond memories of shopping at the five and dime when I was a kid. Keep some reasonable shopping expectations before you walk through the door and you'll enjoy their friendly staff and limited selection.

    Totally unlike a "big box" store, we can quickly find what we need, or we can take our time and stroll around.

    Went in just to get a pipe wrench but I ended up exploring the store as it was a very open layout…read morewith a large variety of tools and other items. A lot of automotive stuff to look through which I wasn't expecting. The reason I chose to write the review is because of the super friendly and helpful staff. A staff member was walking through the store and helped me find what I needed very quickly, the two cashiers at the front were super personable and extra friendly. The helpful staff made my experience in the store amazing and made me want to come back asap. Great customer service!

    I like Northern Tool and Equipment for picking up items for big jobs or things I need to repair…read moreexisting equipment. The store is filled with a great variety of tools and hardware. It is well organized, and I can go straight to what I am looking for and get in and out relatively quickly. This is a no-frills operation. I would never pop in to look around because it just does not have that kind of appeal. I need a real reason to be there. Thankfully they have great sales and coupons frequently. The staff is available but not too excited about answering many questions. They are not negative or unkind; they are just not customer service oriented. They stock the shelves and sell the stuff on them, Period! The store is always well stocked, and you can order online and pick it up in the store. If you need help deciding which tool to use for your project, you probably need to shop elsewhere to receive that kind of input.
