J-Town Hardware is your typical home-town hardware store, and I love it!
Situated near the main intersection in J-Town, the store has a storied, legacy feel to it, as if it's been there for generations and it keeps getting handed down from one generation to the next.

I’ve even sent mail and faxes.I also love just walking through the door of the renewed but still respectful space of it’s history. The bell at the door, the original flooring, the atmosphere is like an old country hardware store. I love that I’m not in the bigger stores, walking aisle after aisle trying to find something or someone to help. You won’t get that at...
Read moreFast and friendly service. My wife and I have shopped here since moving to JTown and I love this place. Their selection is varied and quirky, they have things you would not expect to find so it is worth just going to look for yourself
Most recently I rented a dethatcher and bought grass seed. The gentleman that assisted me was great and really knowledgable. I definitely reccomend visiting here over the big box stores.
Their firewood is incredibly inexpensive also and an awesome service to have so close to home, my wife and I love our fires in the fireplace over the winter. I'm on the verge of never shopping at Home Depot or Lowes again if I keep having these great...
