All the workers here actually know how to use the products they sell. Not only that but they will educate you how to use the things they sell. Try finding that at Lowe's. The store is smaller so they don't have everything but I'm always amazed because they have what I need. A neighborhood shop where people have knowledge is a great local asset to have when looking to make repairs or when building a project.

While we weren't looking for anything specific, it was nice just to browse through everything. The place is about 1/3 general merchandise and 2/3 hardware. From what I observed, the guys assisting 'real' hardware store customers seemed knowledgable and helpful. The place closes at 5 on Saturdays....which is an hour later than most stores in town!

I'm one of those dorks who adds goofs to IMDB. Most people add continuity issues, and I do too, but one of my IMDB-goof specialties is anachronisms. I just have an eye (and ear?) and a memory for phrases, speech patterns, and especially objects that are out of place in films and TV series set before the present, especially in the 1980s. Why am I bringing this up in a review of a hardware store in Shipshewana, Indiana? Why, because this place just reminds me of perusing a huge hardware store with my dad when I was a little kid and we were looking for supplies to build a doghouse for Buster (RIP), whom we hadn't acquired from the Downey pound yet. And further, when I walk around these aisles in 2023, nothing would be totally and completely out of place from those hardware-store visits in 1985. That is, although I'm sure there are objects and tools available here that were invented and patented long after 1985, there's very little that stands out as from the 1990s or 2000s or 2010s or 2020s. How cool is that? It's downright comforting, I tell you. Yes, the hardware is expensive. So what? Things used to be more expensive, relatively. And you know what? That was fine, because things being manufactured locally meant people had more money, because US manufacturing jobs used to pay well, so people could afford to buy well-made products at slightly higher prices, and doing so contributed to the local economy. All that cheapo crap you're buying from Walmart and Target just further enriches already obscenely wealthy people, and do you really need that many more T-shirts? Not that everything sold here is American made; but it does remind me of a much simpler and, yes, better time, at least economically. The people who work here are very friendly, and the selection of everything is ridiculous, especially when you consider how much smaller than a typical Home Depot it is. If you need it for your yard, garage, or farm, they probably have it here. If my parents lived closer to Indiana, I can guarantee you my dad would have bought many more things from here than he has the three or four times we've visited. If you ever find yourself in Northern Indiana with nothing to do, you should check out Yoder's Shipshewana Hardware, along with other businesses in the Yoder's empire (although Yoder is a fairly common surname among Anabaptists, so they might be owned by different Yoders, but those Yoders are all probably related not too far back).

First...and foremost the employees here make this store what it is…read more Excellent staff. Unfortunately, the owner...or the guy claiming to be is very disrespectful. Very. He sits in his office...overlooking the store...judging. Crazy? Continue to read. I bought a house in Shipshewana a year ago. It has required a ton of work. I have spent a lot of $$$$ in this store. I'm generally in there 2-4 times a week...sometimes several times a day. For a year...I have walked in...greeted people...they know me by name...grabbed a shopping cart...and a 20 cent Charleston chew. I joke with the cashier... "My shopping snack." Or... "I'll be back in a few!" Then...I shop. A lot. Then...I bring my purchases to the cashier...and my empty wrapper. I PAY FOR EVERYTHING...EVERY-TIME! This has been the routine for a year! Today...I picked up my special order...shopped...and ate a Charleston chew. As I was in the parking lot...almost to my car when the "owner" came out to chastise me and verbally assault me. I was so embarrassed and belittled. He said he wasn't accusing me of stealing the Charleston chew...but...there's a store policy about paying first. Okay. I can understand that. Not a problem. But why not just politely tell me...it's been a year!!! I said to him... "You realize I'm in this store every week?" He says... "Yea?" Not... T "Thank you for your loyalty." Just a dismissive..."Yea?" I'm a just a thief. That's fine. I would never chase a loyal customer out into the parking lot...never. If I had been asked politely.... "Can you pay for that before you shop?" Not a problem. Just not a hill to die on. Good luck yoders. You'll be successful because of your location and awesome employees. I pray that the owners heart is changed...and he will not judge people by assumptions. Or perhaps be less critical and more loving, kind. Sad face
