Lorette Hardware Store: A Shopper’s Guide
Why You Should Visit
- Extensive Inventory: You’ll find a surprisingly large selection of hardware items, cleaning products, and even small appliances in this small-town store. They stock septic pumps, water filter systems, and a wide variety of everyday household goods. The aisles are well-organized, making it easy to browse and find what you need. I was even able to locate some unique and interesting items I hadn’t seen elsewhere.
- Exceptional Customer Service: The staff consistently receives praise for their friendliness, helpfulness, and knowledge. They go above and beyond; one instance involved a staff member setting aside a water filter for a customer traveling from a considerable distance. Expect prompt and courteous assistance finding items or resolving product issues. Even dealing with manufacturer deficiencies is handled with care and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
- Great Value: The store offers competitive pricing, sometimes matching or even beating big-box store sales. I found their regular price on a septic pump to be the same as Peavey Mart’s sale price. They also frequently have random sales on tools and small appliances.
- Convenient Services: In addition to a wide range of products, they offer services such as skate sharpening.
- Hidden Gem: For those unfamiliar with the town, this store is a true hidden gem, offering a wide variety of products and services in a convenient, well-organized space.
Why You Might Consider Alternatives
- Limited Selection in Certain Areas: The store does not carry lumber and has a limited fixture selection. Quantities of items are also limited, so selection may vary from visit to visit.
