A REAL hardware store! What an awesome store, right in downtown Boothbay Harbor. They have…read moreEVERYTHING you could need and more. I was looking for fishing tackle and was pleased to find a very good selection. The staff were super friendly too. I would recommend Grovers hardware for any trailing spouses that may prefer browsing hardware to browsing candles and T-shirts in Boothbay Harbor ;-)

I have been a customer for over 30 years, and I can recommend it without reservation. I think the…read morething that makes this store stand out is, one day I was waiting for some paint to be shaken, and I asked the young lady how she liked working here. She answered without a pause that it was the best job she'd ever had. Nowadays, anybody involved in dealing with the public on a daily basis sort of needs a reason to that enthusiastic. They have a good selection, their prices are fair, and I have rarely walked made it past the front desk without being asked if I needed help. A good old neighborhood hardware store.

I asked for something and the woman told me exactly what I needed and where it was without any hesitation. She was so nice and personable. An extremely delightful experience. I hadn't been in there in years and I forgot how great it is. They have a lot of paint and so much hardware stuff.

This little store is a stark contrast to most of the other shops in Windham. By quality, by not…read morebeing a chain store, and by price. It is by far the priciest store in the strip mall heaven that is North Windham. They carry all kinds of cute kitchen wares, spices, and other decorative home decor. This place reeks of "going up to our cute Maine summer camp" from some out of state location. I don't know many locals who would find this place enticing because of the high price point, but it was fun to browse. I won't be frequenting this place. I can't afford to. But if my rich friends from out of town want to see the "shop in Windham" that's not a chain store, this will be where I take them. It might also be a great place to find a last minute gift...

Ummm how did I not know what an awesome kitchen/home goods store this was?!? Wandered in last…read moreweekend and was wowed with the amazing selection - everything from 5+ models of juicers to hundreds of kitchen gadgets - cool teas and coffees. If you're into cooking or baking you MUST stop by here - everything you could want for your kitchen. They also have a nifty loyalty scheme (free to join) - spend $200 and get a gift certificate for $20. We left with a new electric kettle, a splatter guard, a new knife, a pie crust collar (because you know it sucks when your pie crust gets too brown and the foil always falls off) and a few more things.

When possible, I try to give my business to local stores, and Petro's fine service encourages me to continue doing so. (Unlike a previous reviewer, I do not expect extra perks and discounts, and I understand that product delivery is an expensive service for a company to offer. One must consider the cost of the delivery vehicle, the loader and driver's time, and the cost of gas. Indeed, I tip the driver if fine service is provided, and I encourage other customers to do the same.)

One can't get that attention at a big box store, even if the aisles are wide. That said, there are better stores for some items, but knowing where to shop for what is a customer's responsibility. I really like the convenience, friendly staff and good quality of merchandise at Cooks, and highly recommend them - no reservations at all if you plan your shopping intelligently.

That being said, Brick and Mortar is the perfect LOCAL shop for your holiday shopping needs specializing in home-kitchen-garden items. The layout and store front are beautifully organized offering unique, one of a kind items perfect for gifts or personal indulgence. They currently have some of the most gorgeous Christmas ornaments I've ever seen and sell an array of The Woods merchandise including Maine-made sea bags. After one visit I am already in love with this store and can't wait to do all my Christmas shopping right in Norway! COVID-19 has definitely had its setbacks but I am so happy this store has emerged despite it all-- PLEASE SHOP LOCAL!

We love "cooking" stores, but…read morethey're usually filled with overpriced items that can be found at a MUCH cheaper price online. This place was different -- they had so many kitchen gadgets at every price point imaginable, and they had so many cool items that you could not find online (or it would be more expensive). We were surprised by the size of the store. It's huge! If they don't have what you're looking for... then you probably don't need it. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We bought a book and a cheese grater that put our previous one to shame. We can't wait to return again when visiting Bath.
