Weaver’s Ace Hardware At Fleetwood

Weaver’s is a good hardware store — a pretty typical Ace Hardware with a few extras, like a small «country» like gift area in the front — and it is large, with a large selection. But it’s lost all of its charm and individuality over the years. It used to cater more to the old-​order Mennonites in the area with bonnets and men’s hats, oil burning lamps, more canning things, etc., and I always knew I could find kitchen gadgets my grandmother used that are still pretty darn useful there! So – was great then — average, now.

A 5-​star shopping experience every time!
A wonderful general store feeling. A huge variety of products, very knowledgeable staff and good prices.
Their specials are always great too, subscribe to their email newsletter so you know what’s going on!

The best staff ever! Weaver’s may be a dollar or two higher then the big box stores but well worth shopping here. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. Things I couldn’t find at big box stores I can find here!

Very nice lay out to the store. The service is solid and always wears a smile.
Old school hardware & general store. Strong knowledge base of product and applications.
The prices tend to lean to the high side when unfairly compared to larger box stores.
I enjoy my visits to this store and dont mind paying the mark up in exchange for a better shoppers experience.
” You get what you pay for”

Yes they may cost a bit more than say your box hardware store but you get what you pay for here. Very knowledgable staff and the products you are looking for. With gas being so expensive it’s worth paying a few bucks more for quality. I’ve gone in there looking for something as small as a screw and they know exactly what will work best and where to find it. The staff is always there to lend a hand and a smile on their face! Just discovered you can ship your UPS packages there and they sell chicks (to grow into full chickens.) Bonus!

Weavers is an enhanced version of an old general store. They have a little bit of everything and more than enough of several categories. Where it really shines is hardware. Nuts and bolts and things that allow you to fix other things rather than throw them in a landfill. Broken screen door? This is something that can last forever with some maintenance. Plumbing needs, lawn and garden, paint, tools, and some eclectic items that have roots in the PA German community. This store is a great local resource. On the down side, it has lost a bit of its competitive edge. It has become just downright expensive for some items including onesy and twozy nuts and bolts. Nonetheless, I much prefer buying fasteners, etc. this way as opposed to blister packs of 4, 6 or 10.
For a few items, it is THE most expensive place to buy (most recently wood pellets by the ton) refusing to match competitor’s prices on the same item. I can usually deal with a few dollars difference for loyalty sake, but $ 30.- $ 50.00 above is more than loyalty can cover.
It’s all good. Fortunately, I live only a few miles further from competitor Kuzanns and I’ll make that drive to save $ 50.00.
It is also an ACE hardware branded store and ACE products often come close but not as close as one would like. They carry some trusted brands including a full line of Stihl chainsaws, trimmers, and blowers but expect to pay full manufacturer’s recommended price most of the time. Weavers is a dealer for Stihl but they often opt out of Stihl’s advertised sales despite being included in Stihl’s newspaper ads.
If you don’t want to trek to an Allentown/​Reading big box store for a bird feeder, some rock salt, or a barbecue grille, you can find it at Weavers along with a large assortment of household products, tools, domestic maintenance items and plumbing needs. The garden tool section is none too shabby and although I loathe chemical solutions, there is an ample selection of organic and semi organic choices for fertilizer and pest control. That alone is worth an A-​ok rating. The fact that the selection for so many products here is large and eclectic makes Weavers a local treasure. Be prepared to spend what little you would have saved in gas on higher prices for certain items, but there is so much to like about this place, it is hard to do anything but add and extra star for uniqueness and appreciation.
