Latham’s Downtown Hardware

I love this place. They have some of everything, and if they don’t then they are happy to order it for you. They remember me every time and my likes and dislikes (for instance, I don’t use plastic bags, I bring my own totes, they don’t have to see it to know I have it in my purse with me.) The young man always carries things to my car even if I could probably lift them myself. I try to buy everything from them. Support the local guys, even though there’s an ACE Hardware down the street. I don’t think I’ve gone there more than 2 or 3 times in the past 5 years. I just don’t need to. I’ll go to Lathams. As I said, if they don’t have it they’ll get it for you. I watched them surf all over the net looking for an unusual environmentally friendly fencing I wanted. They couldn’t find it, but she sure exhausted every resource she had looking (I should point out that I could only find one store in all Ann Arbor that had it. so don’t look down on them for not finding it, neither did those big chains). I bought all the rest of the supplies here. I always will.
I can’t choose a price range because you can buy sunflower seeds for a quarter or supplies to completely redo your household plumbing. But they are always fair.

Located inside the old Milan Theater, Latham’s Hardware Store, is the place I go to purchase items for home repairs at my aunt’s house in Milan. Likewise, they have a sizable inventory of items for those weekend projects around the house.
I strongly recommend this place, although they can be rather pricey on some items, when compared to large retail chains. However, since there is no other hardware store in town, its much better than driving 30 minutes to nearby Ann Arbor.
