Love this historical hardware store. Owned for generations by same family. Ask Albert to show you the pet raccoons. Great people and amazing service. Fix the kitchen sink or pan for gold! Get down to the brass tacs here!

This store is awesome! The owner is real friendly and helpful. Staff are great. They have a good inventory of hardware equipment and other miscellaneous items such as gold mining equipment. It’s a very unique store and I highly recommend visiting.

I went into this store with my 72yr old mom. I made a purchase then went to find her & picked up another item to buy on my way out when a sales lady told me they had a larger item of what I was buying & walked me over to see it. On the way back to the register to check out I was walking in back of the other associate a woman came from nowhere & told me I put something in my purse. I kindly told her I had just made a purchase & she told me NO YOU DID’NT I watch the camera! I was in SHOCK yall!! I went to the register & opened my bag to shower her my purchase & receipt but she suddenly didn’t want to see it. I showed her anyways because if you’re going to accuse me of stealing I’m going to prove you wrong. No one at the actual register heard her tell me I didn’t make a purchase which is literally accusing me of theft. She confronted me & was breathing really hard. I’m a well put together 47yr old woman. My sunglasses cost more than 90% of their store when I mentioned I’m not excatly the type to steal she said in front of everyone that doesn’t matter. She tried to embarrass and shame me after she wrongfully accused me of stealing when she said she was watching the cameras the whole time. I will never give them another cent of mine. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS either you will likely be treated the same should you try to check the time or grab a mint since everyone is a thief apparently at their store! No apology. Nothing. I reiterate she still tried to shame me at the register in front of my elderly mother after already embarrassing me in front of the whole store! When she was in the wrong! I would have accepted a genuine apology but didn’t get one and if your watching the cameras TRY WATCHING THE REGISTER AS WELL. Absolute trash. Used to be wonderful I’ve shopped there since early 90’s as a teen when I lived in town and now when I visit but they have changed. You lost at least one good customer for life. Hopefully others will see this and choose to shop elsewhere also. If your driving through just skip this store when you go to Main street. You will be profiled for zero reason. Just a heads up!

This is a really neat hardware store with all sorts of things in it. They have your typical hardware items, cleaning supplies, kitchen stuff, gold panning equipment, home decorations, and so many other things. I'm not sure I've even been able to see everything in this store. There are so many separate little areas with more things! Staff is friendly and helpful. Store is clean. Seasonal items available. (e.g. chestnuts) Well worth a visit, it you have the time.

A very nice True Value associated hardware store with a very nice mountain/gold rush kind of feel to it. Lots of things for a cabin, camping, or working the claim.

We love going in this place because they have so much stuff. You can browse for hours. Being a full on hardware store, it has items in electronics you can't find easily. Then there's the unique items.

We went on a day trip to Placerville. Did you know Placerville Hardward is the oldest hardware store west of the Rockies?! So we checked it out! WOW! What don't they have! What a fun, fun place!! It's packed with the most of everything! The Hummingbird feeders are fabulous! The kitchenware is incredible, and they sparkle atmosphere! Yeah! In a hardware store! We had so much fun. The ladies at the register were so friendly and sweet. It was like being checked out by my Grammy!

Nice people work here who know this store like the back of their hands. I ended up buying a classifier for mining and a jewelers loupe. They have a lot of unique inventory. The store has been kept original. The creaking wood floors that probably have gold dust in every crack.

As always wonderful from the great staff to the wonderful original wood floors. You can always find things you need and of course things you don't need but want. So glad this is still in Placerville

Absolutely LOVE this store! It has items that you haven't seen for years, and other items you won't find anywhere else. There are so many cool items in this store, that you can browse for hours and not see everything they have. Lots of kitchen gadgets, and gift items as well. I highly recommend to anyone who visits, because it's such a special place! Staff is super nice, friendly and helpful too!

Rode up there on the Harley. Went to find replacement handles for a couple of yard tools. Unfortunately grandpa was out, however the lady was happy to help out. Always a joy to pop in and remember the old days where the hardware store had just about anything you need to fix stuff. Couldn't have been a more satisfying trip. And yes they had the handles.

I love this store. Its totally charming and full of character. The staff is friendly and helpful. Every time I go in this store with a specific item in mind, i leave with it, but i always find something else here that i just can't pass up. I could probably spend hours here really looking around at stuff. They have a ton of random, different, useful, interesting, eclectic, and just plain cool things. Great place to find everyday things that you need, or to find a gift for someone that is difficult to buy for.

Simply the best hardware store in Placerville. I've been going here for years, and the staff is always helpful and friendly. They help you find what you need and provide assistance in getting the right part for the job. I can go there and get lost in all the wonderful things they have at their place.

The owner operator Albert, being a third generation was a genuinely kind, knowledgeable man. Who made myself, Ashley Brooks and her daughter Alexis Brooks so overwhelmingly happy with him sharing the history of the store with a personal guided tour !Everyone should be so lucky. Looking forward to my next visit : ))

Best hardware store anywhere!!! They have just about everything you could think of and MORE, much, much more! The absolute best thing they've got goint (not to mention the charm of the place) is the most attentive staff! They will find what you are looking for and if they can't (this has happened to me only twice since moving to Placerville in 2012) they give you a few recommendations! It truly is an iconic piece of the town's history.

I love coming here at Christmastime! This is the perfect place for finding unique, high quality gifts for pretty much any age. Every time I enter I feel like I could just spend hours looking around at all the options and exploring the thousands of tools, toys, and trinkets.

I went on 03/08/23 and bought a cooler the old man who helped me was very kind but another employee who came to ask me while the man returned with the price of the cooler treated me very badly rude and descriptive in the end I bought the cooler of $450.00 just because the poor man took it out of the display case and he treated me very well but I was about to buy nothing
