This is an actual working mom&pop hardware store so don't expect corporate jingles, machine like price tags and regimented shelving. Goddamn, this is the best hardware store in town. The footprint of the store isn't a big box store but if you have, or want to build an urban farm and garden this is the place to go. They have everything including the kitchen sink. I've never met a more knowledgeable hardware man. I bought two 8x2x2 Tarter stock tanks for the best price ever. His prices beat all the big box stores. He had all the T-posts I needed for my wine grapes including 8+ foot posts which are difficult to find. Anyway thanks Wichita Hardware enough said. He's got my business for life. read more

See all

They have absolutely almost everything that you need extremely friendly staff and they will help you find what you want even if they don't have it read more

I sometimes find things I need here. Often don't. It's very charming to me and well-loved by many. Very condescending and loud dude working there last time I went. That was the last time I went. read more

Great staff. Helpful. Lots of stuff for everyone's needs! Enjoy hunting, exploring and visiting with these nice people.

I have a soft spot for the mom-and-pop stores of old. We happened to land in this one because my husband was fixing my friend's outdoor lighting. I could NOT have been happier. Walls covered with everything you could want -- hummingbird feeders to industrial-strength cleaning supplies. The people at the desk immediately offered help. They knew instantly where to locate anything. Wow! I wanted to enjoy browsing the incredible selection but my companions were in a hurry for lunch. Wish I lived closer so I could indulge my passion for supporting local businesses AND wandering through a wonderland of things I never knew I needed. read more

I've lived in Portland really appreciate old-school, locally owned businesses with friendly and experienced workers. This place is jam-packed with all kinds of tools, gardening and farming needs, with several rooms and some materials outdoors. Quality materials and honest prices. Long may they persist against the big boxes. read more

This place is the best. Since discovering Wichita, I've not had to go to the big orange box once. I've gotten my plumbing, electrical, and building supplies, fasteners, pest stuff, pet food, garden and watering supplies and more. They are helpful and knowledgeable. It's a gift to have them in my neighborhood. read more

My first choice for hardware. A real hardware store that sell quality products. The staff is very experienced and will be glad to custom cut almost anything for you. Nuts, bolts and screws can be bought in singles of in bulk. Same with Stainless fasteners. Try that at HD store. Prices are higher than the big orange store but their service is worth it. Family run neighborhood business. read more

My review of this place is spot on with everyone else. In one sentence, here is how I feel about this place: "Don't go here unless you absolutely need to" The fact of the matter, is that they do have a lot of the harder-to-find parts that you can't find anywhere else, besides online. Because of this reason, its probably what keeps them afloat, that and they're location probably doesn't cost that much. If you need something asap and can't wait for online shipping, then sure, make your way over there. But don't go in expecting any help, know what you need, get in and get out. I've had my share with this place, and its always the same. A couple of late 40-50 year old guys guys standing behind the counter cracking sex jokes. They see you come, and either ignore you or run and hide. If you do get the chance to actually talk to someone, they'll be brief, rude and then book it. My most memorable experience from this place is paying for a few things, and having the guy ask me "Why aren't you at work?" with the most serious, angry face I've ever seen from a person who just got my money. Seriously, if you can, just buy online and wait a few days for shipping. Its worth far more than dealing with this headache of a place. If you can't wait? well good luck to you. read more

I'm a slight fan of this traditional hardware store. The reason is that I've lived in the area for quite a long time and my family has known the owners for a long time as well. Also I'm a fan of the "mom and pop" store no matter what. The draw back is this, if you are not someone that they recognize you really don't get very good service. That is very unfortunate, since the traditional "mom and pop" model is built on that foundation and is supposed to be what is better than the big box stores. I would give it better stars if they would just start to be friendly. I get a lot of help only when I go there with my Grandfather. But, If I go in by myself, forget it. I might as well have gone to the Orange Box and read the information online. I'd get it cheaper and with less glares. read more

This place does not deserve your business. The owner (some old schmuck named Tony) is extremely rude. I had to pry information out of him about a product. I had to follow him around the store almost begging him to stop what he suddenly "needed" to do, and help me. When he finally said something, it was just a foul-toned, "We don't have any of that". Luckily another employee heard what I asked (while he was helping someone else, no less) and told me that they do indeed have it, and he'd be right back with what I needed. If I want to be ignored at a hardware store, I'll go to some place like Depot, but when I feel a hankerin' for being treated like I'm worthless, I'll go here. Not really, I'll never be back to this hole. Also I'm pretty sure that the five-star ratings are from the only two people in the proprietor's family who are semi-computer literate. read more

(We went here one time....and WILL be back!) A fantastic place.....and super nice people.....and I do mean all of the people. My husband and I both agreed they had just about everything and were nice. I doubt we exactly vote like many of them (I saw some of their bumper stickers)....but that did not get in the way of anything. Excellent parking, easy to get to....and with a business next door? that had rocks, slabs, whatever else they had (I walked that, too). Here is just SOME things they had: every conceivable pet food you can think of for: cats, dogs, rabbits, poultry, gerbils, birds, MANY different kind of salt licks, puppy training treats, did I see some 'Greenies'? Also..... Rubbermaid liners for ponds watering troughs big and small a paint section electrical with wiring and bulbs, more plumbing tons of 'Quality Cage' brand cages made in Portland, OR (seriously awesome cages! awesome company - been there) live traps and traps to kill critters animal feeding bottles, farm stuff I don't know how to use slabs of stone, rock, boulders out back! hay bird houses cleaning supplies like crazy (unique stuff!) a key machine bulk rope by the foot bungee by the foot bulk nails and screws welding stuff hardware (hammers, screwdrivers, plus) gardening supplies behond reason seeds (vegetables, more) smokers?! (BBQ kinds) leatherman type tools under the case tons of glues handles to fix garden tools bird netting several or more types of machetes, sheaths wheel barrows out front a poultry netting section you would not believe a pair of flippers??! even a real water spicket like grandma had....crazy the gear to make bullets? (or so my husband told me) oh, and magnets that go to 250 lbs? BBQ "rubs" and hot sauce? ...they even had old school "flexible flyer" sleds! it just went on and on and on.... The only thing I did not see was lumber and plants. I am still digesting what I saw there today. I am a HUGE fan.....but, then again I used to work at one of the largest hardware stores and this is far better. It is like an Ace Hardware mixed with a feed and seed on steroids. read more

Wichita Feed & Hardware - Wichita Feed & Hardware, SE Johnson Creek - Hardware Stores Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The best kind of hardware store: friendly, compact and with of a little bit of everything you might need for a building or fix it project. Plus they have a nice selection of farm and garden oriented stuff like sprinkler parts, garden tools, fertilizer, feed, compost/peat moss, culvert, tomato cages. Last time I was there I got: a T-section of 4" culvert, a chisel, a can of stain, a bag of wild bird food, a small galvanized trash can (for the bird food), and a weed puller in about 15 min. I didn't have to wander through endless aisles with no help in sight... awesome. read more

Every time I go in here I immediately get the stink eye from the staff whilst I peruse their squirrel feeders and Burpee seed selection. I don't know if it is because I drive a tiny, Japanese car (scandal!) or the fact I'm a pierced woman wearing black and keeping chickens, but the looks of wariness while they ring up my bags of layer feed sure do get tiring. Wichita has a lot going on---inventory wise. They have a fine selection of tools and hardware which have saved me from numerous home-improvement related meltdowns. They sell things like lengths of chain, poultry feeders and bat houses--all of the usuals you'd expect from a feed store located in Clackamas county. However, with Naomi's Organic just opening a little further away from me, I've made the realization I no longer need their services for my chicken feed and straw. Tools, fine. But Naomi's is my top choice for all of my feed n' seed desires, and best of all? No stink eye!! read more

Is you want help in 1 min and be back in your car driving away with what you need in 5 min to start/finish your project, this is the place. I'm surprised to see peoples poor review. Set expectations, this is not a big box store for you to shop for 2 hrs and to find a paint brush for $0.89 less. You pay a little more, often the same, but what you get is service and speed. Sure they don't sell some things like wood, but you learn what they carry and don't and you know when to go. Plus what's wrong with supporting your neighborhood business. read more

Very unorganized products, hard to find what you are looking for unless you can find someone to help. Prices are more than most other stores selling the same product. read more

Excellent experiences here, even as a first-time visitor. They're one of the few local stores which carry decent Scythe parts/materials as well. Which means one less power tool on our urban farm. Thanks again! read more

I bought a live rat trap from them. Even though I arrived slightly b-4 their closing time, several staff stayed to show me how to set the trap and insisted I stay to demonstrate that I could do it on my own. read more

A great all around hardware, feed store, been a customer for years, and they help me with advice on how to do this and that. Usually I come with my old SUV and they help load the chicken feed, gravel, supplies. I appreciate them, great people and service. read more

I could not have been more pleased with the staff and the store. The building is very unique, but they have made it as socially distant and safe as possible. Perfect experience! read more

I really enjoy this place. I like walking on the old wooden floors, I find the staff are consistently available and really helpful, and I've yet to go there and find they didn't have whatever I was looking for, from plumbing parts to cattle panels to canning jars to onion sets. One time I decided to make a thing I could hang pots and pans and ladles and stuff from, to go over my kitchen sink area. I had a vague-ish idea of what I wanted, so I just went over to Wichita F&H and started explaining my vision to the guy. 10 minutes and about 8 bucks later I had a 5' length of copper tubing with caps for the ends, a couple of big eye hooks, and about 20 s-hooks. I took it all home and installed it in about 15 minutes, and I've been super happy with it ever since! It was fun collaborating on how to make this thing. Bottom line is: awesome small-town feed and hardware store. Just like it should be. Love it. Oh and they *delivered* those cattle panels, too! That's service. read more

Such an amazing staff, that's always willing to help you figure out what you need for your projects. I have been going to this store for a dozen years now, for everything from pet food to very peculiar auto and motorcycle repair needs. They never laugh at my weird requests and always spend time trying to help me get exactly what I need. read more

I got 3 different stories from 3 different employees on what kind of food I should be feeding my chicken and then when I got up to the register to pay I was asked why I was buying that type of food for my chickens, the lady said "oh no! That's not what you need! Why were you told that?" Way too chaotic and disorganized for me! read more

I have been using Witchita since I moved into the neighborhood - ten years ago. They have it all and they are really hard to stump on anything having to do with hardware. If they don't have they will know who does. read more

This place is insane. You can get anything here. Just perusing the first aisle when I walked in the door I saw dog food, bird food, squirrel food, hamster food, squirrel feeders, bird feeders, dog treats, funnels and dry rub for every kind of meat, fish and fowl known. Is that a hint, having the meat rub next to the dog treats? This place is that back of the woods country store that that has everything under one roof. It reminds me of Dan and Whit's in Vermont. We got 50 lbs of alfalfa pellets, which for some unknown reason the husband intends to use as lawn fertilizer, for 10.50. The lady running the register is one of those gruff, not unkind but certainly not friendly people, a true character. The guy who loaded the alfalfa into our car was very nice. This is just one of those places that you go to in order to be awed by the sheer volume of crap they have shoved into the store, and maybe you'll find something you need. read more

I buy here regularly and the metric hardware is way way less expensive and better priced than the big stores. They are nice people and they have great hardware for automotive and home stuff too. Just bout a gate latch and screws for an old VW. Not very often I can find both types of stuff in same dang place. read more

So nice and helpful. They had what I needed, and they even "loaned" me a tool for no charge. No charge, having never seen me before in their entire life. Maybe this is how Oregon operates and i am just not used to it, but WOW.. read more

I'm new to the area and found everyone in the store very helpful and willing to answer my questions. I didn't even have to move my car to get my straw. Thank you so much! read more

Best hardware store around. I don't understand some of the negative reviews on here. They know everything they sell and will custom cut anything for you. No waiting in line at customer service or help light station. They carry some of the really hard to find parts big box stores fail to carry. Yes the prices are a little higher and Tony is a little cantankerous but these are people that have been in the trade for years and know their products inside out. Try getting the same service at Lowes or the depot. Usually I have to explain what the item is to a clerk knows the item only by it's UPC code. It's your choice of course, and IMHO. read more

Fast friendly and honest and a place that you can rent live traps reasonably priced. They seem to have a little bit of everything here. This winter my stock water tank heater went out and this was the only place that had them in stock and for $20 less so well worth the trip read more

I love this place and all the folks who work there. I can't wait till I need something so I can go and get expert assistance. They are always ready and willing with great ideas in case I am a little short on brains. I get feed for my chickens and am thrilled to find bird seed with out milo, the dreaded seed that no one will eat except the rats. Hey, if you love big hardware stores then go to Home Depot, me, I'll take Wichita Hardware any day of the week. Loretta S. read more

In 43 years of shopping at Wichita, only twice have they not had what I've needed. It doesn't matter what oddball piece of hardware I need for my projects, they've almost always left me wondering where else I could have found it. Friendly, efficient service to be sure. Dr. Bob R. read more

This is the only place near by that sells the whiskey river bbq sauce! Its quite wonderful! Thanks guys!

LOVE this hardware store! A REAL old skool hardware. Extremely knowledgeable,helpful and friendly. I always find what I'm looking for at a good price. Forget the big box stores and shop with a locally owned business, you'll be glad you did! read more

We live close to this hidden treasure, and equally as close to Home Depot. will choose them every time, there service is outstanding. They carry everything that you cannot find anywhere else, and prices are great. People are friendly and knowledgeable. I called them this morning for straw bales, they were out of stock but did not hesitate too recommend where we could find straw... Love these guys! read more

Great inventory, but I agree, the people working here can seem rude at times. I go here when I need to buy something I can't find easily elsewhere and just try to ignore the unfriendly service. read more

They have everything you need, and very knowledgeable. They also have a great list of contractors they can refer you to for bigger projects from Pest Control and Furnace to Gutter Guys and Painters. read more

these guys are great. i bought a two wheeled wheelbarrow for cheaper than anyone, especially home depot, and a year later i broke the plastic by throwing some firewood in it and they gave me a brand new one no charge. they stated the rep would "fix" it. looks like some of these reviewers have a chip about shoulder high. i will continue to go out of my way to do business there. read more

We have gone to Wichita for many years. This is an old fashioned hardware and feed store that carries just about everything we have needed. They also have a lot of knowledge to share when we don't know exactly what we need. read more

I go into Wichita all the time. They will help you but they won't kiss your ass and they don't want to hear your life's story. Tell them what you need, get it and go about your day. This is an old-school hardware store run by seriously old school folks. Nothing wrong with that. read more
