Howshar’s Hardware: A Shopper’s Guide
Why You Should Visit
- Extensive Inventory for a Small-Town Store: You’ll find an amazing amount of stock considering its location. I was surprised by the sheer variety – I even found a hard-to-find Red Flyer wagon there! This saved me considerable time and money compared to searching larger stores further away.
- Diverse Product Range: The location offers a surprisingly broad selection, including appliances, paint, hardware, toys, plumbing supplies, lawn care items, and kitchen/household goods.

- Convenient Local Option: You can usually get what you need without having to leave town, saving you significant travel time and expenses. This is especially valuable for common household needs and repairs.
- Family-Owned Business: Supporting a local, family-owned business with a long history (over 50 years) is a definite plus.
- Clean Store Environment: The store is consistently noted for its cleanliness.
