Eastport Hardware & Gift Store: A Shopper’s Guide
Why You Should Visit
- Incredible Selection in a Small Space: You’ll find this place is surprisingly packed! Don’t let the size fool you; they carry a wide variety of items, from hardware and fishing/boating supplies to household project necessities. I’ve even found Maine-themed puzzles and shirts there.
- Exceptional Customer Service: The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, remembering regular customers by name. Expect the same warm welcome whether you’re buying a $3 item or spending thousands. They go above and beyond – I even borrowed a tool once because buying it wasn’t feasible for my small job!
- Competitive Prices: Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the convenience of not having to travel 30-45 minutes to other stores.
- Knowledgeable Staff: The employees aren’t just friendly; they’re knowledgeable about their products and ready to assist you with even the smallest of sales. Chris, the owner, is often there to greet you.
- Local Gem with a Unique Atmosphere: This hardware store has an old-time, down-to-earth feel that is truly unique and charming. They even have a nice gift shop section stocked with local and nautical novelties.
- Convenience Factor: For Eastport residents, this is a lifesaver. It’s the best small-town hardware store around, offering everything you need without the long drive.
Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Limited Space: While they carry a vast selection, the store is small. Finding a specific item might require some searching.
