We are located in downtown Black Mountain, NC, and occupy three historic buildings dating from the 1920s (one used to be the 5-and-10 and one used to be the drug store). We are still a working hardware store, with all the products and services you would expect from a top-of-the-line hardware chain.
Many of our customers joke “If Town Hardware doesn't have it, we don’t need it.”
In addition, we are a traditional general store with a huge variety of items that amaze even long-time customers. We don’t just offer the basics, we carry a number of hard-to-find items — not just in hardware and tools, but also in housewares, toys, and outdoor living. Come and see for yourself what an “old timey” hardware and general store looks, smells and feels like.
A little bit play time and a little bit practical, this Black Mountain business could have helped build Noah’s ark — and kept its occupants happy.
