A great selection, friendly employees, good prices and rewards program. Someone asks to help me every time I go in. It's surprisingly a great place for gifts, too! read more

Edwin was very helpful in describing how to repair my shower problem. He was very kind and patient. Daren was great, too!

absolutely wonderful store. Staff is so helpful and considering they are not as large as this big box stores they have a pretty extensive inventory. Whether you're looking for just the right screw, needing to get a key made or buy a pressure washer, they treat you wonderfully. read more

I try to shop locally but they dont always have what I need sadly. Theres mulch all over the place out front along with plants but its right in driving areas, last thing I want is for someone to zoom in while Im trying to lug mulch across the street. My beef was that I went to get hose parts and an employee asked me if I wanted help, the first time nicely, the second time kind of urging me to hurry up so him and another coworker could put grills in the aisle for the night. I had a list of stuff to get but just got one item instead. This place needs a bigger lot and area so people arent shoved out the way at 17:25 for them to reload stuff thats in the front of the store. Total bummer I'll just go to home depot or amazon read more

A truly great local business. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. Multiple times I have come in and asked "can I do X with x?" Or "I'm doing X what products would you recommend?" And they always know what you are asking and give stellar recommendations. read more

I love our True value.. Need a key cut - done, need some rope, done, need paint or seasonal stuff, it's there. And when the season is over, what a great sale. They have plants in the spring, all the ice stuff in the winters. Painting, electric, and home goods. You need a great Maryland Gift, they have the full lot of Maryland cups, cheese platters, and more. Need kitchen utensils, they have it. read more

This is a good, local store and they are very good with the community. I know they have an extensive solar panel system on the roof - you can actually view the energy output on a monitor near customer service - making this a very GREEN building. They are very active in the community with the Quiet Waters Park events and sponsorship and very generous. For that, I give them 5 stars. About the shopping experience. It is a cozy building with a lot of stuff in there. They have a very helpful staff and they can point you in the right direction. It is opposite of the big-box stores, that is for sure. As Nina U points out, you do get a 20% off discount if you check in on Yelp on your first purchase with all you can fit into a reusable True Value shopping bag. The prices aren't too far off form Home Depot and Lowes on most items. They have a huge bird food selection and home cleaning area too. read more

See all

I had a wonderful shopping experience here. I had many questions to find exactly what I was looking for. The staff was patient, listened well, and helped me! I would strongly recommend anyone needing home help to come see these fantastic professionals! read more

Kudos to Jared Littman or whoever does the ordering. While it isn't a big box store they always seem to have what we need for a project. I have needed some obscure things recently and walked out with what I needed each time. Very pleased. I much prefer refilling my own propane tank rather than exchanges. True Value staff are always cheerful and helpful on fills, even in frigid weather. read more

Could this have been racially/ethnicity motivated? My wife and I purchased one bag of soil and two packs of jiffy starter containers. The following day we were informed by Annapolis Police that an employee witnessed my wife and I stealing a bag of potting soil and wrote down our licence plate. The employee or management called the local APD on my wife and I and atempted to press charges for theft. For an "$8 bag of potting soil". An officer showed up at our house incessantly pounding on the door informing us of the allegations and began to interview us. The officer told us to get in touch with the detective on the case. Proof of purchase via credit card receipt and bill of sale provided by true value upon purchase was shown to the officer/detective. The officer met with true value management and confirmed that no theft had taken place. We were wrongfully accused and harassed by employees/management at this true value location. The manager called us apologising claiming that somthing like this has never happened during the decades they have been in business at that location. My family and I no longer have faith (let alone feel safe or comfortable) in our local community supported true value [that we have also supported for over 20 years of us living in and raising a family in Annapolis]. Could this have been racially/ethnicity motivated? We would like to think not. Whatever the reason was it was admittedly "wrong and unacceptable" on their behalf coming from management who called us after they resolved their mistake. Management blamed a mistaken employee that they "trusted their judgment" but instead of investigating at all on their own they immediately went from zero to one hundred and wasted the Annapolis Police department, my families and their own time. This could have been resolved internally in an instant without harassing my family. Another note. This was during covid-19 no customers are allowed in the store. All purchases are done over the phone and an employee brings the items to your car after payment is processed. We called the store and placed our order for three items, payment was processed 10 minutes later an employee loaded the items into our trunk. The next day we find out true value is pressing charges against us for theft of one of the items. During these stressful times of covid-19 it is understandable to be over worked and on edge. I thank you for providing our community with your service and still operating under the circumstances. My family and I understand that this was a mistake on true values end but it does not under any circumstances make it right or ok. This is completely unacceptable and appalling behavior. We hope this never happens to another true value customer. read more

I wish that after four years of going here for needs I could say that they have served me appropriately. Each time I've gone to this location I have regretted it. I wish that wasn't the case but it is unfortunately my expectation now from this establishment. Set your standards on low friends! read more

Best customer service (thank you, Sam, for helping with all of my paint needs and going above and beyond on April 3 2021), AND received a pile of freebies for being new to the neighborhood. Everything I've put on my home-improvement-needs list I have not only found here, but the staff came right up and asked within minutes of me entering the store. Prices are right too. read more

Local business. They carry an amazing selection of all kinds of things. I can get paint or a hostess gift, and everything in between. Extremely helpful staff. It is my go-to place for so many things. Never disappointed. read more

This place blows me away. So check in on yelp and take 20% off everything you can fit in one of their reusable bags. AND did you you know?! If you sign up for their frequent shopper cards not only do you get $1 back for signing up for email specials, AND a $5 off coupon AND a gift during your birthday month AND a $10 coupon after so many points BUT it is also FREE? read more

Great location but they close WAY too early. I pulled in at 6:08pm tonight (I learned the hard way they close as 6:00pm). While pulling into the parking lot two different customer were walking way after missing them being closed and in the process of leaving two additional cars pulled up but turned away unsuccessfully. They really need to push back their weekend hours- in a period of 5 minutes they lost 5 customers. I spent $200 at Home Depot on items I was planning to buy at True Value. I like supporting the little guys but I needed items that immediately. read more

I stumbled upon this gem when trying to avoid the ridiculous Annapolis traffic in search of getting a house key made. They have everything!! The aisles are packed with everything from toilet tank parts to kitchen trash cans. If you don't see it- ask! They also have play sand and all the plant choices in the spring. The check out gal I encountered a few times has no people skills but other staff are great! I always find a spot to park. read more

This is a fantastic store! I love going in here because the staff are so knowledgeable in their inventory and home maintenance. I'm a do-it-yourself'er so I appreciate any good advice I can get on taking care of my home. The best part, this store has a rewards program. It's free to enroll and after you spend about $200 there you'll get a reward in the mail. They are really good about sending out coupons and rebates. In the fall, they have a ladies night where they will have all sorts of seminars on energy saving, gardening, and all kinds of home demonstration. It's a free event! They'll have catering from local businesses like My Butcher and More and Palate Pleasers and coffee and punch as well. It is worth getting on their facebook or emal list so you know when to register for it! The only downfall of this store, is that it is very small and crowded in there. The aisles are very tight and if you are not careful you will knock stuff over. The parking lot is a bit tight too. read more

Hello to the world's greatest community hardware store!! The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and there's always someone available if you may need assitance. And FRIENDLY. A huge up-sell for me! I love friendly customer service! I totally took Nina U.'s advice, checked in on Yelp, and a Groupon for a free reusable bag. BLAM! 20% off, plus the bag for free! YAY! I've been there three times already in about two weeks, for small items, however....I'm going to become a regular..I can feel it! read more

Great little find in Annapolis!! Right by Quiet Waters dog park, I hit it often for needed supplies rather than go to Home Depot. Their staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, and there's always someone available if you may need assitance. Also just nice people. I also checked in on Yelp, got a reusable bag and now get 20% off for whatever I can fit into this bag. Show the check in upfront through lest they have to go back and give the discount for each item they already rang up. I've been there multiple times in the past month. A good consistent experience. My only wish is that they had more bird seed. I was less than impressed with the seed--it seemed a little older than I wanted and most bags were damaged. Other than this, I love the place. I will just get seed elsewhere. read more

Always helpful, good prices, great little local hardware store. I always go to K&B first.

Though this place isn't as large as a Lowe's or Home Depot, you can find some items that you may not be able to located at the larger stores. The items I needed fit in that category of not able to find at the large chain stores and not so special I had to go online to locate and pay a premium price. Not matter what you are looking for, don't give up at after a trip to Home Deport or Lowes because a True Value or other local hardware store just might have it. read more

I love the variety of the stuff you can find under one roof. When I lived on Forest Drive, I went to this location exclusively to avoid the drive. I've never been disappointed. We did a lot of renovations on our townhouse and it was our source for many items big and small...and things I didn't realize I needed. I could always find someone to help. read more

I have been shopping at B&B for many years as a resident of Annapolis. They are up-to-date with new technology but are old fashioned with great service, courtesy and a willing attitude to do the best job fulfilling your needs. They are a gem! If you haven't been in their store, give them a try. It's locally owned and the temporary and full time staffs go out of their way to ensure you receive good advice about their products and answers to questions for almost any repair or project you're attempting to do. read more

This is the only hardware store we go to. It's locally-owned, the selection is quite good for the fundamentals as well as some fun and quirky gifts. The service people - cashiers and young people are always helpful. So, why not five stars? The often grumpy and unapproachable lead manager (not the owner) notches it down a star. He doesn't greet you or offer any assistance and when you ask he seems, well, kind of annoyed. When he does help you, he lightens up a bit and is quite helpful . . . but you have to break through the glacial ice first. We will continue to patronize this local and very community-oriented hardware store, we love it there, grumpy manager and all! read more

I have fixed up several boars, built a woodshed and lots of house maintenance for my home. Tru Value/Annapolis staff is top-flight, very helpful, knowledgeable and available to walk me thru the task. Tru Value/Annapolis carries just about every screw, bolt, tool, attachment, etc. that is needed to do the job. All that's missing is a sweet little spot to drink a cup of coffee with all my neighbors who gather there! There's no better hardware store in Maryland! read more

Maybe the best hardware store to be found. Staff is extremely knowledgeable. They have a little bit of everything in here. Need propane? A 2x4? Paint? Drain cleaner? Tools? Pool stuff? Even a cool little toy at the checkout to bring home to your kid? They've got it. Don't bother going to Home Depot unless you need a huge array of home improvement stuff. This is a real gem in southern Annapolis and I don't think in my years of living in that area that a month went by without a trip here. Probably what I miss more than anything in that area, strangely enough. No neighborhood hardware store can hold a candle to them. read more

If you enjoy a local hardware store with a knowledgeable, courteous staff look no further. I shopped here over the last year and enjoy each trip. From Sandbox sand to toilet parts, paint, and hard to find parts for do itself projects this Tru Valu has it. If you live on Annapolis Neck pass on the trip to Home Depot and visit TV. read more

No loaders. Waited 10 minutes. And still no one. No apologies Isn't this what a small local business should be about? Service?? Hardly evident at this True Value! read more

Have been shopping at Hardware House for the past 30 years. Great selection of most everything you need but what really makes them stand out is their service - friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. Their acceptance in the community didn't just happen - they earned it! read more

Very courteous staff. They help customers load heavy purchases with a smile. A good mix of knowledgable staff and college kids that help load and stock. read more

I used to head to KB true value when I had a project but now I feel like I'm walking into a hallmark store. There's so much decorative "junk" they have no room for actual hardware. Besides the clutter, I've noticed long time employees are no longer there. They were what kept me coming back and I hate to be so blunt but the new owner is rude and has very little people skills. When asking a question, he was short with me as if I was wasting his time. This store has gone from being a favorite to almost intolerable. Please start selling "hardware" again, and I think everyone, especially the one running the show could use a lesson in customer service. read more
