Hogg Hardware

I have been going to this hardware store since I was a child in the 80’s and it was still called «Pascals Hardware», and the supermarket across the street was still a «Steinbergs Grocery».
Although it has up-​scaled a great deal, going from an average neighborhood hardware, to upscale specialty paint/​hardware/​housewares and gifts it still has the same neighborhood feel and even some of the same staff.
Wilder, who works behind the paint counter in the basement, where most of the «serious» hardware is located, has been there ever since I can remember, and always provides one of the best customer service experiences available. He knows his stuff, and is always happy to help.
Upstairs, where the gifts and housewares are found, is home to what I can only describe as *the* best selection of gifts for hard to shop for hipsters and grandparents ever… It has to be seen to be believed.
If your looking for some unique gifts, specialty hardware, or are just tired of the so-​so service at other big box hardwares, try Hogg out…

Cool place. Definitely high-​end, but not exorbitant, and in Westmount who can blame them for making it bougie? They know their customers. And treat them pretty well, in my experience.

Don’t be fooled: this isn’t your typical hardware store. Hogg Hardware has been here in Westmount for as long as I can remember. They have a nice selection of greeting cards, hostess gifts, funky housewares, garden items, even small and unique electronic accessories. Yes, things may cost more here than elsewhere, but I always see some cool things here that I’ve never seen elsewhere.
