Chico is lucky to have a store where you can find anything you'll ever need along with employees that will help you solve any problem.

I just love this old school small town hardware store in downtown Chico. Walking into collier is a bit like stepping back in time. I like to buy my Lassen National Forest Christmas tree permit here and then drive up into the mountains to grab my own slice of the holidays. Highly recommend a stop at colliers if you are walking around town!

Able to purchase quantities I need, unlike the box stores. Always can find "hard to find" items !

I worked here from 2018-2019 and am still appalled at the mismanagement of this business.I was not paid on time even once in my 14 months at this job. When I brought this to the attention of management, I was dismissed and told that they are not legally required to pay me on a specific date (which they surprisingly did have posted in the workplace as they should). While I insisted this is untrue, I reminded them that some of us are working students and have bills to pay. I was told by one manager to “tell them you can pay them later” (as if I am not paying any real bills?). At that point, It was clear to me that they had no understanding or respect for their employees well-being. They take advantage of the fact that most students working here are unaware of employment law and it’s a disgusting display of character. I was forced to quit and report them, as I refused to be mistreated by the Lucena’s any further.If you’ve been here, you’ve probably also noticed that it is typically women in housewares/behind the register and men in hardware. This is not a coincidence and they typically do not consider training women to work in hardware the same way they will train their male employees with no experience. A female coworker of mine had 2+ years of hardware experience (more than most of the men hired there) and was told she was not qualified. The culture at this store is extremely sexist.If you shop here, I’m guessing you care about supporting local business, but unfortunately this is not one you should consider. I urge you to give your hard earned money to business owners who respect their employees.

I was raised in Chico, but lived in Iowa for the past twenty-seven years. This is my first time in Collier hardware since I got back here last August. Didn't seem like a whole lot had changed. They expanded and have a new grill area. But other than that, it's still the same hundred plus year old hardware store I remember from being a kid.I recommend them to anybody who needs just about anything hardware-related.

When I am in Chico, I always check out Collier Hardware. They have just about anything you could want - tools, kitchenware, electrical parts, and a great selection of bolts, screws, etc. Parking can be a problem, but I go on Sundays when they are open from 10-4 and there is free parking all around.

Personally this is what a hardware store should be, knowledgeable staff always available to help...cant get that at HD or Lowes

Collier Hardware is a truly remarkable hardware store. They have a surprisingly large selection of items, from kitchen gadgets to bulk chain. If you can't find it at Collier, you probably don't need it.

An independently owned small town hardware store. A rare thing these days. Always easy to find people to help and at least 1/2 appear very knowledgeable in hardware applications and the rest always know right where everything is and can refer to someone who does know the product applications. It is my favorite hardware store in town for sure I just wish parking was a little easier.

Best store on Planet Earth. Classic hardware with folks who know just about everything and have a solution. Not only hardware but great top drawer housewares. It is really a "destination" and we need to be sure we support this jewel. Parking can be a challenge, but there are short term slots on the side of the business. Great local resource, great owners.
