We have been kicking around a lot of different ideas of late, but one thing we haven’t done is ask you!

But now we are.  Complete the survey below and we’ll send you a coupon.  But more importantly, you will be helping us serve you better.

 Although I heard talk of rain this weekend, it still continues to be very dry.  Your trees and plants need to be watered as well as your lawn.  We stock a number of good Nelson sprinklers and Swan hoses.

We sell a very nice push reel mower made by Great States.  5 Blade, 4 Spider, Ball bearing reel for a superior 18″ cutting width.  A clean cut is achieved with tempered steel reel and bed knife blade.  Cast iron roller brackets with quick adjust wing nuts means you can easily change the cutting height from 1/2″ to 2-1/4″.  The loop style handle with foam grip and the 10″ Durable composite wheels means the mower is easy to use.

We also offer reel sharpening!  

Now you’ll never miss an important visitor because you can’t hear the doorbell! The Plug-In Extend-A-Chime expands an existing wired doorbell to be heard in any part of the home. The transmitter connects onto the low-voltage screws in the existing doorbell. Plug the doorbell receiver into any 110V electrical outlet. Hear the doorbell in all parts of the home-basement, second floor, or the attic.

We love to let customers open items and hold them in their hands.  We also believe strongly that if a product is not what a customer needed that we should take it back.  The downside of this is that we have a lot of items that are no longer packaged as nicely as they were when they left the factory.  We always check these items and make sure that they are complete and not damaged before we return them to the shelf but have watched customers pass them up for one in a pretty box.  Here is where the blue dots come in.  We have started labeling items that have been open or returned with a “QC PASSED” sticker to reassure you that while it might look a little banged up we have looked it over and it is as good as new on the inside.

The long awaited seed display has arraived!

We also have seed starting supplies.  So while it is still a little early to put seeds in the ground you can assuage your need to get your green thumbs dirty.

Gardening is also the patriotic thing to do.  Have you seen the pictures of the First Lady working on her garden posted on the White House Blog? 

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted.  Things have been getting busier and busier at the store as people can see that winter will once again release it’s grip.

Spring means projects and projects mean tools.  If you check out the Rental tab at the top of the page you will see that we have a good number of tools and pieces of equipment for rent that will make your spring projects a lot easier.  All our rental pieces are high-end contractor grade tools so when you rent get to use a high quality tool and you don’t have to pay the high quality price nor do you need to find a place to store it.

If your toilet is running it could be costing you 10x the cost of a new flapper!  Stop in and pick up a new flapper and we’ll even show you how to install it.

I’ve started building a Parkway Hardware email list. 

You will be able to get product updates and special email only offers in your inbox.  We will also gather more information about what you would like to see at your hardware store.  I’ve already received some ideas such as; tips and tricks on making your house more energy effecient, how to seminars on simple home repair projects, more “green” products and many more ideas.  (Sorry, Tim we are not able to offer beer but the new owners of Ken and Norm’s have been making a lot of improvements.)  

Follow the link below and get signed-up. 

I would like to introduce our newest member of the Parkway Hardware team.  Kristoff comes to us with an immense amount product knowledge gained from years in the construction industry and we are very happy to have him with us.
