St. Charles Hardware Store, located in the suburbs 40 miles west of Chicago, is a wonderful…read moreOne-Stop-Shop for all your supplies and business/outdoor/home repair needs. You might be looking for something specific or you might be browsing the aisles, unsure of what you actually want or need, but... They look to find you...THE CUSTOMER, to make your project venture...a success. I'd like to give them a mention as they recently opened just over 1 year ago in October of 2021 and deserve recognition. Store Hours are 7 days a week... Monday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Tuesday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Wednesday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Thursday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Friday: 7:30 AM-7:00 PM Saturday: 7:30 AM-6:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Phone: (630) 394-2378 They offer everything, including... - paints - household hardware for home improvements - electrical supplies - cleaning products - housewares - gardening - grilling - tools and utensils You may think...well, what makes them any different than a Home Depot, Lowe's or Ace Hardware Store? It's about customer service and forming real relationships. They're a community based small business and their mission is about personalized service to make your life easier. Businesses like this need to be supported. And St. Charles is part of giving back to fellow neighborhood organizations. They sponsor the Anderson Humane, The Chamber of Commerce, St Charles Business Alliance, St Charles East and North High Schools. They have a terrific "Best Rewards" Customer Loyalty Program. It's a way for them to say..."thank you to those who have become part of our local, independently owned hardware store family", according to their website. A hardware store can be filled with an overabundance of supplies and gadgets that can leave the average household/business owner feeling overwhelmed. Here at St. Charles, it's their kindness and hands on human-element experience that go a long way in making the improvements journey...a fulfilling one.

One note - they do not participate in Illinois' PaintCare program and will not accept multiple items listed on PaintCare's site (which I said they are not part of) and they do charge for paint recycling. For no cost paint, other recycling, go across the street to JC Licht. Otherwise Ace is a friendly place with good products and services.

I was happy to see so many people in here! If you're shopping for random stuff, this is the place for it: craft supplies, games and toys, bottles and jars (including itty bitty ones, which I bought), marbles, strange holiday overstock, neon signs, science experiments, a billion electronic parts...you name it. For sheer weirdness this store can't be beat but I legitimately do buy practical items here too. Stop in and support this long time local favorite!

It worked out perfectly using two LED lights that I can change the bulbs when they go out rather than to toss an entire fixture in the landfill, and that made sense to me. I did research the lumens I would need for good light....too many lumens can look very blue, so I downgraded about 25% for the space. It was perfect. They were also patient as it took a bit for me to decide.

Case in point now - I wanted a very basic snowblower. HD and Lowe's only had giant expensive fancy ones, so I got the basic one from Menard's. Right out of the box it doesn't even start. Take it back to the service desk and they can't start it either. But they won't take it back because it has gas in it now.

We stopped by this Lowe's and were approached with help right when we walked in the department. Steve was our guy!! He gave us some helpful tips about the different options that they had, what was in stock, and he even gave installation tips. We have learned that it is not always this common to receive this type of genuine, knowledgeable service. Thanks Steve for being you! For the floors, we chose smartcore, which is a brand unique to Lowe's and the installation was a breeze. We are so excited with how the floors came out, the color, and can't wait to clean them ha! We recommend this brand and location if you're looking for new flooring!

You're working customer service learn how to do customer service or get a job that you like so annoying. Next time I'll go to Home Depot or Menards. Lowe's is just closer to my house. I'll go drive the extra miles.
