Peculiar Hardware & Garden

This place is no longer a hardware store but is now our church fellowship hall

This is exactly why people don’t buy local in small towns if they have options... New to the area and decided to see if Peculiar had a local hardware store, I was pleasantly surprised when I found they did. My first visit was fine, the kid behind the counter seemed friendly and was able to figure out the simple math of the transaction after a few seconds... 2.50 x 2 is what? (I’m not kidding...) To no ones fault but my own I bought chain adapters that did not fit the chain link I bought, after getting home and realizing the mistake I made I ventured back to find out how terrible the selection of inventory is. I asked (the previously helpful kid behind the counter) since all the shelves were empty with the parts I needed, if they had some in the back. He responded with, “if we had a back, then maybe”. About this time 2 teenage girls walked in and completely stole this guys attention. He didn’t acknowledge a single question I asked until I came to the counter with parts that weren’t meant for the job I was doing at all, but would get me by in the short term. His comment to me at check out was, “if it was me I wouldn’t use these, good luck”... I told him I wouldn’t be buying it if they had what I needed and he replied, “yea, we don’t keep stuff like that stocked very well”. Disclaimer: there is a “for sale by owner” sign in the window of this store. So, maybe they have just realized it’s a lost cause, and decided not to have compitent staff and inventory. I recommend driving the 6 Miles to raymore, this is not the store to try and support local sales!
