Best hardware store in Chicago, Illinois (IL) 2024

Old style tiny store, with goods cramming every square inch. The sort of place that will sell you one loose bolt, instead of a poly-bagged set of six. Parking can be tough, and speaking some Spanish (I can't) would help IF the 'old senor' is minding the till. ~Conrad

This is a smaller Lowe’s but it has a large garden section with ample plant choices. Came here to get some new plants for my garden and fell in love with the many plants to choose from. The staff is readily available to assist you and help you find anything in the store. When I came their gift card system was down so I unfortunately was unable to use my gift card to purchase my plants but the staff was really kind about it. ~Lena
