Now that the Holden Beach True Value is going out of business, the Home Depot in Shallotte is my go-to hardware store. It’s conveniently located in downtown Shallotte, just off main street in the same plaza as the Office Depot and Belk’s. Recently, I found plastic adirondack deck chairs for $ 17.98 each, and small outdoor accent tables, perfect for holding tasty beverages and snacks, for only $ 9.98 a pop. Two chairs, four tables and all for under $ 100. Not too shabby! This location also has an excellent garden center, and the staff is both knowledgeable and friendly. Otherwise, it’s basically the same as every other Home Depot. Consistency here is not a bad thing.
