Town Hardware & General Store, located in downtown Black Mountain, NC, is a charming and historic business housed in three buildings dating from the 1920s. One was once a 5-and-10, and another a drug store, giving the store a nostalgic, old-fashioned feel. It remains a working hardware store offering all the products and services expected from a top hardware chain. In addition, it carries many hard-to-find items in hardware, tools, housewares, toys, and outdoor living. Visitors can find everything from screws, nuts, and bolts to cast iron cookware, books on bread-making, pocket knives, and percolators. The store is known for its unique finds and friendly staff who are helpful and nice. Customers often enjoy browsing the many aisles filled with items not usually found in typical stores, creating a fun shopping experience. The store also features a book nook with unique titles like Dolly Parton. With decent prices and a nostalgic atmosphere, Town Hardware & General Store provides a glimpse into old-timey shopping, where the smell, look, and feel of a traditional general store make it a special destination for locals and visitors alike.
It is a great place to get lost in with what looks like a bazillion items you didn't know you needed, creatively stuck in many rooms with really narrow aisles. I thought I was only in there for about 10 minutes, but relatives outside had to send in Search and Rescue after I disappeared for 4 days.
