A fantastic place for tools, parts, and plumbing supplies! I came in here for a plumbing piece, and when I started to describe it to them they knew exactly what it was and where it was in the store. A quick and easy stop!

They have everything you didn't know you needed. Wonderful people.

I came in recently for a small part. As I was checking out a couple of the workers including the woman running check out were filling another customer's curbside pickup order. The woman running checkout caught my eye and said, "Who invented curbside pickup anyway? FAT PEOPLE?!?" Then she laughed loudly. I told her that was very rude, inappropriate, and fat-phobic. She said she was just kidding. I reminded her that people need curbside pickup for all kinds of reasons, often health related. She said, you're right. She never apologized for her horrible statement. I'm overweight so this cruel "joke" seemed aimed at me. I am very disappointed because I enjoyed supporting this local business, but I don't feel comfortable coming back.

A great alternative to the big box stores. They usually have what I need, and there's been a few times that they have things that the big stores don't. And unlike the big stores, they actually have plenty of helpful staff members to assist when I need help.

Have lived a couple blocks from this place for almost five years. Honestly, I have never been disappointed when I go there looking for whatever random thing we need. They even had car oil. That one surprised and saved me. The one star loss is only for the customer service. It's not when you ask for specific things because they're always very helpful. It's just the counter service. They just always seem super disinterested. Might just be an Olympia thing. Lived here most of my life and Olympia folks are a little slower paced. We will still keep coming back.

Always have a great experience at this hardware store. These folks are always there to help and they have always had everything I need. The only time they did not have what I needed was when I was looking for a Peanut Nut Roll made in St. Paul, MN. What did these guys do about? They ordered a case of them and keep them on the shelf now. Forget the huge chain, shop local.

Based on my experience, the customer service provided was good. They were helpful. The store itself seemed clean and organized. The parking in front is parallel. The area is not the safest (fyi: lock your doors). Overall, a decent store overall and would return and recommend.

Absolutely the best hardware store in the state, hands down. Surpasses all the big box stores in every way-- not only a great inventory, but most importantly, a friendly staff that is knowledgeable about what it sells. They had plumbing items not found elsewhere in retail stores and cut and threaded the pipe as I waited. Plus, you are supporting a longtime local family business which honors KAOS radio membership ( a 10% discount!) Check them out- you won't be disappointed!

don't bother trying to buy stuff here unless you can find it yourself. I stood around for 20 minutes trying to buy some copper tubing. asked the people in the back they said ask in front. they called out over the PA and no one helped. asked the same guys in the back and they are to busy... not sure what they see doing because the store isn't busy. So off to Home Depot I go because I know they will actually see me what I want not be to busy

It's more spendy than the big box hardware stores, but unlike those places Olympia Supply has a ready, knowledgeable staff always on hand to help. Their inventory is vast and wide-ranging. It's always my first choice in hardware stores!

They have always been helpful and kind. When i come in just for a few ballbearings, or for larger purchases, I'm always greeted with smiles and the same level of customer service. Places like this, that treat you the same if you are spending twenty five cents, or two hundred dollars, are 100% worthy and deserving of love and dedication. I'm going to be continuing to come here for all hardware needs.

Olympia Supply & Ace Hardware store is a very old establishment, going back many decades now and, they are still around so, that says a lot about the Company, who sells so many different things now. Olympia Ace Hardware has snow chains, and painting supplies, to garden materials, it's a great place to shop for the things that are hard to find. The staff were layed back and helpful with, professional support people for all your home building needs. I Highly Recommend coming to Olympia Supply & Ace Hardware. Thanks for your patience. 🤙😎🤙😷🤙👽🤙👣🤙😷🤙.

This was a great place to spend hours. Little drawers full of things you did not even know you needed.

Large hardware supply store which is also affiliated with Ace Hardware. Great customer service. This store has been at this location since 1946, which is absolutely remarkable! I could lose myself browsing the aisles while imagining my next home project!

I love this place! I appreciate the attentiveness & knowledge base of the owners and employees. Today, I walked into Olympia Supply supporting a preschooler on my hip, and signage in my free hand. I was immediately offered support and Bobby helped decipher my hardware needs given my rudimentary hardware lingo as well as, size the right screw eyes and screw links. Then, he went beyond my expectations and predrilled the holes for my screw eyes on my signage. He also offered to carry the signage to my car so I could focus on my little one.This wonderful experience really made my day and helped me get closer to my small business dreams. Thank you Bobby and all you great Olympia Supply folks!

A truly great classic hardware store. Everything you need, prices are fine, staff is friendly and helpful. Worth the trip to avoid the big boxes. They have customer parking too!

This is the classic thoroughly stocked hardware store that every town needs. The stock on hand appears to run the gamut from household cleaning and gardening supplies down to bins of obscure fasteners and repair parts. The big box stores may have stuff but this place probably has what you need.

This place was terrible. I called asking for a specific part and the guy I talked to went back to the shelf and said they had it. I double checked that it was the correct thing I wanted and he confirmed that it definitely was what I wanted. When I came in the next day they said they don't have anything like that in the store. The guy at the front counter was very blunt and was more interested in leaving right at closing than being helpful at all even though it wasn't closing time yet. Don't expect to get good customer service or honesty when shopping here especially if it's within an hour of closing time.

I needed an older style plumbing fixture unavailable at big box stores. A local plumbing supplier had one, and wanted $50 (probably presuming I would't be able to fine one elsewhere). Olympia Hardware had one in the back, and the cost was $12.Lesson: If you're striking out, try here, or better yet, try here first!

Have genuine Atlas gloves, not knockoffs like everybody else. Better equipped than the westside location and worth the trip. Wasn't always an ace, but has taken the transition in stride.

They just dont care about the customer!I just purchased 20 feet of rope for 2.69 per foot, which comes up to 53.80. For some reason they charged me 143.00 after military discount. while i was still in the store the math didnt seamed right, i mean 20 times 2 equals 40 so my bill should be around 50 bucks. so i went back to the cashier and told them that they made a mistake. ofcourse they gave my money back but nobody said that is sorry or apologized to me. No ownership of making a mistake and no good customer service nor good customer manners. they just dont care!

I like coming here for convenience and for the good selection of items they carry. They’ve been around for a whole barrel full of years. They always have friendly staff willing to help.

This in-town hardware store had everything we needed and Glen was particularly helpful with his time and skill. Another plus is that it is within walking distance of the marinas. A great place to support.

The guy standing next to you on the customer side of the checkout counter isn't another customer--he's there to help you find what you need as quickly as possible. You'd likely spend a few minutes in a big box store finding good help. Good store.

Last i looked on the internet, this motel was a two star. Sure, there ate a lot of things that could be better. I'm letting you all know this motel gets minimum 3 star rating from me. Large comfortable beds, refrigerator, microwave, tv, lots of space, clean, and quiet. Rest well

The employees at Olympia Supply are very helpful and knowledgeable, and they .carry items that one doesn't find at the big box stores - an unusual pvc fitting, an extra long stainless bolt, a plumbing part, etc.

Olympia Supply & Hardware is our go-to hardware store, now more than ever. They have excellent customer service, a surprisingly broad range of items in stock, and an excellent supply of stainless steel bolts, screws and hose clamps, as well as a large variety of hose and pipe fittings.

This place has a very good selection of tools, nuts and bolts, irrigation, canning supplies, plumbing, metal stock, ladders, etc. etc. etc. If you can't find it, ask -- in March I needed some red "Christmas" bulbs -- no problem, follow me. Here you may have to duck under pipes, wear warm clothes, even occasionally wish for a flashlight. There are drawers and shelves and cubby holes and things needing someone with a ladder. But also here usually are better products found in less time and with less packaging than you ever can at a big box store. If I have the choice, this is where I go.No lumber, no big appliances, no chandeliers. (But they do sell ice cream bars, at the front door.)

Lumber? Not really. Everything else? Oh, yeah! Go try and find a great big galvanized bucket at your local Big Box store. Yeah, Oly Supply has you covered. And helpful? Big Box knows where stuff is. But Oly Supply folks know what you need, why you need it, and maybe here's a better solution. You wanna get stuff done right? Oly's great place to be!

Locally owned by the same family since around the 1920's! This place is an Olympia institution. What a gift to have a hardware store right downtown. AND, they are friendly, knowledgable and support community non-profits. Its win win!
