I love seeing businesses survive through the years…read more... I was staying a few yards away and I had to walk inside to check the place out...it's like walking back in time....back to the 1950s or so.... This old world gem of a hardware store!!! Inside I got to talk to Robert, the owner and he said they have pretty much everything you might need for the home...if not, they will get it for you. They are closed on Sundays, but usually open at 8:30am the rest of the week. Friendly and knowledgeable and very service oriented!!!

Tiny, totally, totally cramped hardware store on Centre street just by the metro…read more The dude has everything in there. You don't think he does, cause it's small, but he does. X-mas lights in June? Check. a set of allen keys for your bike? Check. A housewarming gift on the fly? Check. You can't actually browse or find anything yourself so you need to go to the counter and ask him and then he'll be like: "pas de problème" and he'll come back with your thing and then you'll be pleased that it'll be a heck of lot cheaper than what you'd pay at one of those large retail chains. So you win.

On trouve toujours tout ce que l'on cherche dans cette quincaillerie…read more Et le service est toujours excellent !

I have been doing business' with the Monkland hardware store for over thirty years. I did not mind…read morepaying a premium in order to save time and to support my local hardware store. However, in this digital age, this store is definitely a blow back to the eighties where they require a store bought bill to be presented or NO REFUND, not even a store credit. Producing a credit card receipt is not acceptable. I did not take a receipt because frankly in today's digital, ease of access to information economy who does? The store refused me a small refund because I had no store bought receipt. They pointed to all their signs that expressly stated this. Yes, I did a mistake in not keeping the receipt, but I still was a loyal customer. Nevertheless, policy arising from a truly archaic manual system, outweighs customer satisfaction and I am no longer a loyal customer. Hopefully they will learn from this and invest in some system that provides flexibility in order to satisfy customers.
