Lanier Hardware True Value

Walmart and Home Depot are helpless against this behemoth of convenience, selection, variety and service. It is truly the proverbial «if they don’t have it, you don’t need it» store. Sure, you will pay a bit more for your items but isn’t that what convenience, selection, variety and service are worth? An amazing general purpose store that is also a tourist attraction and that’s hard to pull off. If a tourist you will be delighted with your visit and if a local, satisfied when looking for something you need.

Definitely wouldn’t call this a hardware store; this is in fact, a general store. They have everything you may need if you’ve just moved into a new home, or redecorating, or need a quick birthday gift, or a housewarming gift, or baking for a child’s birthday, or fixing your lawnmower etc… the list goes on and on. Prices are somewhat on the high side, but still it’s a decent deal. I saw items here that I haven’t seen in years; like a roasting pan my mom used in the 80’s when I was a kid, the original Game of Life, old style corningware everyone’s mother owned in the 70’s etc. This place looks small from the front but holy friggen cow, it goes back very far and also expands to the left and goes back pretty far as well. We cruised around here with the kids this morning and by the time we left, we had spent an hour just browsing around! Very helpful and personable employees. Will definitely return when we’re out and about in Lexington.

One of the best traditional hardware stores I have visited in years! Nostalgic feel. They have everything from housewares to fishing supplies, in addition to nuts, bolts and everything in between. Need a box of greeting cards? They have them. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff will make you feel right at home. I guarantee you will find something that will make you smile. Hardware stores aren’t made like this anymore.

If they don’t have it here, you don’t need it. This family owned hardware
store has been here as long as I can remember. Their prices are kind
of high, but they have everything you might need.
People actually come here from out of town, just to see this place.
