If you've ever been to a Rona or a Home Depot, well, this place is the exact opposite. Donovan's…read moreHardware has been a staple in the community for years, serving the good people of Gananoque not just hardware but also nick-knacks and decorations for the home, yard, cottage, what have you. As soon as you enter, you're faced with what amounts to organized chaos. The family-run business may seem to be completely asunder, but a few trips there and you get to know where everything is. If you can't find what you're looking for, just ask any of the staff. I once owned an old stove-top percolating coffee maker and the glass stopper at the top broke. Not knowing where to start looking for something like this, I went to Donovan's. Once I described the item, the only questions I was asked were "How many?" and "What colour?" Yeah, they've pretty much got everything.

We headed to Donevan's on the advice of another Yelper (thanks friend!) and are so glad we did. We…read morefound what we were looking for: souvenir tee-shirts that were well-made and not tacky and some really cute gifts for friends. All were quite inexpensive. But the store itself intrigued us; it's stocked not just with hardware but a huge selection of "stuff" for yard and home along with providing advice on everything from plumbing to screen repairs. It just has to be a really popular place for residents of Gananoque to shop, and since it dates back to 1872 and is operated by the fifth generation Donevan family we think that's definitely the case. It's right on King Street in the heart of Gananoque, a cute Canadian town that we enjoyed visiting. You won't go wrong to drop by here if you're in the neighborhood.

I was perusing some houseware items, playing cards and candles when I rounded the corner and found furniture- sofas, side chairs and decorative pillows. You need camping supplies? They have that, too. I found the female cashier rude making customers wait while she carried on a private conversation.

Over the past three years of renovations to an older house, including complete gut and re-do of the upstairs we have only once needed something that wasn't in stock and it turned out no one had it in stock in the greater 1000 island area. In the end we found another solution to the problem with some help from the staff at Home Hardware. The friendly, knowledgeable staff has always answered questions without making assumptions about the level of knowledge of the customer. As a female with both strong carpentry/plumbing skills and large gaps with no technical terms for what I want this has been greatly appreciated! They also have a range of other departments. Furniture, housewares, giftwares, petcare (equine too), garden, paint and probably more that escape me right now..

However, this isn't one of those stores where you leave with a huge haul every single time (like Value Village or Talize). They have a smaller selection and prices are a bit higher, so I tend to be picker when selecting items to buy here. The store is fairly well laid out, and I appreciate that the clothing is color coded (Talize does this as well, but Value Village does not). I also like that the price of the item decreases the longer it's on the sales floor, which is unique. I often think of consigning here, but to be honest after reading the rules on the website, it seems like it would be a bit of a hassle. For example, it says that they don't accept items over 2 years old. How on earth can they tell (besides the item being in poor condition)? One time when I inquired about consigning, they told me about all the "cheaper" brands that they don't accept...yet every time I go in, I see those brands! It's also strange that on the website it says that Danier is one of their best selling brands, yet they say they don't accept leather coats (yes I understand Danier doesn't JUST have leather jackets, but you get where I'm coming from). Also, this might just be me, but I wish the change rooms had actual doors and not just curtains. I don't know how many times a lady has just waltzed right into my change room while I'm changing! No etiquette it seems. All in all, a few minor inconveniences, but it's a store I will continue to visit once every couple of months to see what's new.
