Parkrose Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When I lived in Portland decades ago there was a hardware store, Beaumont Hardware, a few blocks from my home that I would frequent. It was a great, friendly neighborhood hardware store, however, if they did not have what I was looking for I would drive out to Parkrose Hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a couple of days in Sandy Oregon in September of 2022 helping a friend get a truck ready for a trip to Alaska. After going to several home improvement big box stores and not finding what we needed I commented that I used to go to a store called Parkrose Hardware, let’s see if it is still there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we looked it up on the map app and it showed up. We drove to Sandy Boulevard and sure enough it was still there. It turned out to be a great place for getting the bolts, lock nuts, steel bits and other hardware that we needed for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the items we bought for my friends project I decided to buy a couple of buckets for myself just for old time memories sake. I told the story of having frequented the store decades ago and being happy to see that they were still open to the cashier. She appreciated hearing the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think that they are necessarily the cheapest store but if you are in the Portland eastside area and are looking for a hardware store with a great selection and friendly, helpful staff I highly recommend you check out Parkrose Hardware on Sandy and 106th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
