Vernon’s Hardware: A Shopper’s Guide

Why You Should Visit

Exceptional Customer Service: You’ll consistently encounter friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff who go the extra mile. They patiently assist with project planning, even if you’re unsure of the terminology, and readily enlist colleagues for support when needed. The owner himself is often involved, providing expert advice and guidance.
Unique Product Selection: This locally-owned store carries hard-to-find items geared towards older homes in the Broadmoor, Sherwood Forrest, and surrounding areas. You’ll find a great selection of organic and hydroponic supplies (Fox Farm, General Hydroponics, Kind LED), surpassing even larger stores in this niche. They also offer custom window screen services. A surprising variety of cooking supplies is also available.
Competitive Prices: Prices are reasonable and competitive with larger hardware chains like Lowe’s and Home Depot.
Convenient Location: The store boasts exceptional parking and easy access, making shopping a breeze. It serves Baton Rouge and beyond, even shipping hydroponic supplies to Lafayette and New Orleans.
Specialty Services: Beyond typical hardware, they offer key duplication services, consistently delivering accurate results on the first try.
Family-Owned Tradition: Vernon’s has been serving the local community for 53 years, demonstrating a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. The family-run atmosphere shines through in the warm and welcoming environment.

Limited Stock: While well-stocked for many needs, you may not find every item you seek. Specifically, they carry some wood products but no lumber.
Focus on Specific Niches: Although competitive in price, selection focuses on certain areas (older homes, hydroponics, cooking supplies) so this may not be your first choice for all hardware needs.
