Elsberry Hardware

In the heart of downtown Elsberry

Big Box Store Value,

Small Town Service

Elsberry Hardware is a full service home improvement retailer that offers the variety and price competitive advantages of the BIG BOX stores that seem to draw teeming throngs of home owners from far and wide. In a time of extremely high fuel prices, it only makes sense to save money by shopping right here at home.


I don't know about you, but every time I do a project around my house I end up making several trips to pick up supplies. I really do try to plan ahead and take my list, but inevitably, just when I think I have everything and am ready to proceed...I'm missing a small part or tool. That's when the quandary hits. Do I stop and make that trip myself, or do I ask my wife to do it for me. I don't know about you, but my time is precious. Have you ever had to wait for assistance at a Mega Home Improvement Store? How many trips to you usually make for your average "Honey Do" project? One, two...five???


Let me make a suggestion. Go see Karen Sheets, the owner at Elsberry Hardware. She and her staff will greet you within seconds of walking into the store, and they know what they're talking about. Whether your project is plumbing, carpentry, landscaping or just having a new key cut, they do it all. And they have it in stock. This is the best of both worlds. Wide selection, great value, and that home town service that you can't buy in the big stores.


Do yourself a favor. Call or stop in and see Karen or one of her knowledgeable team. They will help you save money, time and that immeasurable frustration that can ruin any well planned project.
