Rogers Ace Hardware

What a terrific hardware store! Today we went in for a particular kind of wood chips for the smoker — they had them. We also picked up some fishing lures. I’ve found unique and special birthday cards for several occasions, gardening gloves, rust oleum spray paint in the color of my patio furniture, kitchen utensils, stencils to label the mooring ball, and just about anything else I need. They have an extensive collection of stainless steel nuts/​bolts/​etc for coastal use. We also purchased a Stihl chainsaw and all the fixins at Rogers, as well as a Stihl weed wacker. The selection is pretty darn good for a local business and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful but never pushy. Sometimes I go in just to browse — to a hardware store! It’s a terrific local business. Once a year they also host a silent action to support Make-​a-​Wish Foundation with lots of neat items to bid on (coming up on Sept 13); I love how they support a good cause that gives me an extra excuse to stop in.

Roger’s has always been a great local place to shop. They have a friendly staff, incredible inventory of items that are hard to find even at the big boys warehouses. I called and asked for a favor and they let me bring in my luggage to weigh it for free before a flight.

They have everything from auto parts to woodstoves. Their fastener department is one of the best I’ve ever seen. They also have marine supplies, like rope and fittings. They are dealers of Stihl and Husqvarna power equipment with good service/​repairs to boot. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I feel very fortunate to have them as my neighborhood harware store in Maine.
I bought my chainsaw from them. They really knew their stuff and didn’t oversell me. The price on a Stihl Farm Boss with a buch a free accessories was as good as any price I found on the web.
