Is it a hammer you are looking for? Choose between ball peen, claw, rubber or sledge. Something that cuts? Peruse the hatchet and axe and lopper and pocket knife selections. Nab a nut, buy a bolt, put your DIY hat on and become one with your inner HGTV star who's been fighting to get out. No Drago Hardware doesn't offer the variety of Home Depot, nor the volume pricing of Lowe's, but it kills the big boxes in customer service and charm. On my recent visit, I caught the owner wiring a light kit onto a ceiling fan for a customer...at no charge. How is that for service? When you shop at Drago Hardware you are supporting the dwindling small business community in Port Arthur and the Drago family which has operated this enterprise since 1931.

I needed a tool for my water meter so I could have functioning utilities. Mind you that I also had to be to work so I was moving expeditiously.This morning I went to Drago Hardware Co.1900 9th Ave. Port Arthur TX. As I go to checkout an employee at the register was casually talking with another civilian that wasnt making a purchase. I ask if I can be checked out. He looks at me with disgust. Raises his voice As if I was across the store to tell me how rude I am. Only to be followed by derogatory and racists remarks; such as "your people won't ever get ahead" and "you'll just end up in prison" all because I asked to be checked out. His actions can not be justified. I was bothered by my experience. I thought for certain that type of behavior wasn't tolerated at the store , but unfortunately that was just the tip of the iceberg. I call the location to speak with a manager to inform of the situation. I noticed she seemed uneased with attitude galore. I can only assume because of my distinguished African American accent. I asked how she was doing only to be insulted again. She replied with "fine up until this phone call" followed by a dial tone. I will be having a peaceful protest until this is brought to light .

Their customer service is nonexistent and the management is the worst of the worst. This store sold me lumber with mold on it on more than one occasion. I have spent months trying to contact them to get help. The manager will absolutely not answer the phone and return phone calls. The general manager at the store is the most unhelpful, unpleasant, and unprofessional person I've ever dealt with. I found out directly from a Parker's employee that this Parker's location has been selling old lumber for a long time now, and the employees are aware of it. He stated that the lumber is not kept dry out back. Be very careful shopping at this location and make sure to inspect every board that you get. It's unfortunate that Ken Parker is not running this company anymore because it was not run like this when he was in charge.

If I could give extra stars I absolutely would! I also saw several air/heating service company trucks outside through our 4 trips today. (Multiple trips were our fault, not theirs!)
