| - I recently fell in love with Blackhawk Hardware for several reasons.
1) It is right up the street from my house and next to my grocery store. I love being able to get there in 2 minutes or even walk there (if needed).
2) I was asked several times while there if I needed any help. Normally this would annoy me, but not at the hardware store. Inevitably, I always have a question about a product or a DIY solution, so it's nice to have the help available. Also, when you ask them a question, they actually know the answer and won't make up answers to get the sale (unlike the big (orange) box retailers that I am used to--"of course you can put this drain cleaner down your toilet, ma'am." (on the back, it says, DO NOT PUT DOWN TOILETS).)
3) The variety of products available is really cool. They have the usual hardware store kind of stuff, but also an extensive kitchen gadgets and linens section, pretty bathroom sets, a cards section, and a great garden section (and I assume in spring and summer this portion of the store is particularly awesome!)
I could spend a while in this store just wandering around and seeing what they have to offer. The staff is really fantastic. They even have a rewards card that you can use to add up I will definitely do all of my shopping here from now.
