K & B True Value Hardware

Great location but they close WAY too early. I pulled in at 6:08pm tonight (I learned the hard way they close as 6:00pm). While pulling into the parking lot two different customer were walking way after missing them being closed and in the process of leaving two additional cars pulled up but turned away unsuccessfully.
They really need to push back their weekend hours– in a period of 5 minutes they lost 5 customers. I spent $ 200 at Home Depot on items I was planning to buy at True Value. I like supporting the little guys but I needed items that immediately.

If you enjoy a local hardware store with a knowledgeable, courteous staff look no further. I shopped here over the last year and enjoy each trip. From Sandbox sand to toilet parts, paint, and hard to find parts for do itself projects this Tru Valu has it. If you live on Annapolis Neck pass on the trip to Home Depot and visit TV.

Very courteous staff. They help customers load heavy purchases with a smile. A good mix of knowledgable staff and college kids that help load and stock.

Maybe the best hardware store to be found. Staff is extremely knowledgeable. They have a little bit of everything in here. Need propane? A 2×4? Paint? Drain cleaner? Tools? Pool stuff? Even a cool little toy at the checkout to bring home to your kid? They’ve got it. Don’t bother going to Home Depot unless you need a huge array of home improvement stuff. This is a real gem in southern Annapolis and I don’t think in my years of living in that area that a month went by without a trip here. Probably what I miss more than anything in that area, strangely enough. No neighborhood hardware store can hold a candle to them.

No loaders. Waited 10 minutes. And still no one. No apologies Isn’t this what a small local business should be about? Service? Hardly evident at this True Value!

This is a good, local store and they are very good with the community. I know they have an extensive solar panel system on the roof — you can actually view the energy output on a monitor near customer service — making this a very GREEN building. They are very active in the community with the Quiet Waters Park events and sponsorship and very generous. For that, I give them 5 stars.
About the shopping experience. It is a cozy building with a lot of stuff in there. They have a very helpful staff and they can point you in the right direction. It is opposite of the big-​box stores, that is for sure.
As Nina U points out, you do get a 20% off discount if you check in on Unilocal on your first purchase with all you can fit into a reusable True Value shopping bag. The prices aren’t too far off form Home Depot and Lowes on most items. They have a huge bird food selection and home cleaning area too.

I love the variety of the stuff you can find under one roof. When I lived on Forest Drive, I went to this location exclusively to avoid the drive. I’ve never been disappointed. We did a lot of renovations on our townhouse and it was our source for many items big and small… and things I didn’t realize I needed. I could always find someone to help.

Though this place isn’t as large as a Lowe’s or Home Depot, you can find some items that you may not be able to located at the larger stores. The items I needed fit in that category of not able to find at the large chain stores and not so special I had to go online to locate and pay a premium price. Not matter what you are looking for, don’t give up at after a trip to Home Deport or Lowes because a True Value or other local hardware store just might have it.

Great little find in Annapolis! Right by Quiet Waters dog park, I hit it often for needed supplies rather than go to Home Depot. Their staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, and there’s always someone available if you may need assitance. Also just nice people.
I also checked in on Unilocal,got a reusable bag and now get 20% off for whatever I can fit into this bag. Show the check in upfront through lest they have to go back and give the discount for each item they already rang up.
I’ve been there multiple times in the past month. A good consistent experience. My only wish is that they had more bird seed. I was less than impressed with the seed – it seemed a little older than I wanted and most bags were damaged. Other than this, I love the place. I will just get seed elsewhere.

Hello to the world’s greatest community hardware store!
The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and there’s always someone available if you may need assitance. And FRIENDLY. A huge up-​sell for me! I love friendly customer service!
I totally took Nina U.‘s advice, checked in on Unilocal,and a Groupon for a free reusable bag. BLAM! 20% off, plus the bag for free! YAY!
I’ve been there three times already in about two weeks, for small items, however… I’m going to become a regular. I can feel it!

This place blows me away. So check in on Unilocal and take 20% off everything you can fit in one of their reusable bags. AND did you you know?! If you sign up for their frequent shopper cards not only do you get $ 1 back for signing up for email specials, AND a $ 5 off coupon AND a gift during your birthday month AND a $ 10 coupon after so many points BUT it is also FREE?

This is a fantastic store!
I love going in here because the staff are so knowledgeable in their inventory and home maintenance. I’m a do-it-yourself’er so I appreciate any good advice I can get on taking care of my home.
The best part, this store has a rewards program. It’s free to enroll and after you spend about $ 200 there you’ll get a reward in the mail. They are really good about sending out coupons and rebates.
In the fall, they have a ladies night where they will have all sorts of seminars on energy saving, gardening, and all kinds of home demonstration. It’s a free event! They’ll have catering from local businesses like My Butcher and More and Palate Pleasers and coffee and punch as well. It is worth getting on their facebook or emal list so you know when to register for it!
The only downfall of this store, is that it is very small and crowded in there. The aisles are very tight and if you are not careful you will knock stuff over. The parking lot is a bit tight too.
