“Great people who really know what they’re doing. They helped me choose the right snowblower, didn’t try to oversell me, and were there for me when I needed help afterwards.”
“Our son took us to pumpkintown USA I bought a few items a white pumpkin & purple cabbage plant. Our son bought their famous apple cider doughnuts. We drove thru the pumpkin theme patch.”
“My sister and I came in here for a new battery for my car keys today. I asked the gentleman at the register if there was any way he could help me take the key apart. He took his time to take my key apart, get the new battery and replaced it all for me. He was so kind and friendly and went way above and beyond!!! I did not get his name but hopefully he sees this and realizes that he made my day. Such great customer service!”

“This place is the FIRST hardware store that I've felt comfortable in. The staff are superb people, and treat everyone -- whether or not we know the term for a particular wing nut or not -- like human beings. BRAVO”
“My wife and I recently moved to Higganum, CT and just now discovered Higganum Hardware. The owners, two brothers, Taylor and Jarrett, opened the store in fall 2021. While young, they are dedicated to customer service and a huge variety of everything from nuts and bolts to Ben Moore Paints, to equipment...a huge variety of quality hardware goods. I asked them, what encouraged them to open the store...the answer, We looked at what Higganum needed and did not have...a Hardware Store. While we believe in the saying SHOP LOCAL, you also want high quality products, good service and location close to where you live and or work. Higganum Hardware fits all three. Go in once, you will choose Higganum Hardware as your go to store again and again. Simply the Best as Tina would say. Julian”
“There are two True Value stores at almost equal distances from my house: Killingworth and Country Paint and Hardware in North Branford. Both stores are well-stocked, and I can almost always get what I need at either one. Floor staff at both are friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. The difference is at the checkout stand. At Country, the cashiers will greet you with "Hi, how are you today? Did you find everything you needed?" They will then ring up your purchases and, at the last, politely ask for your phone number for the rewards program. But at Killingworth, without making eye contact or any greeting, the two usual cashiers bark "Phone number?" and engage you no further. Once you're done, you pick up your things and say to them, "Thanks, have a good day." They don't respond because they are barking at the next customer, "Phone number?" Leaves a bad impression. It takes so little to make a good one.”
“I’ve been working with Horton since 1975 when I worked with the owners grandparents. They are the best. Businesses just aren’t like this anymore and it’s sad that more don’t track like Horton’s, always toward the quality”
“BEST HARDWARE STORE IN CT!!!!These people KNOW what they are doing!!!!!!!!Extremely nice, knowledgeable!!!!!!!You definitely will not find this kind of service at a big box stores!!”

“house keys needed. quick and friendly ... and knowledgeable . very old master key tough one to get right. first attempt failed but a quick trip back and minor adjustments is all it needed. with a smile, beneath the mask ! thanks!”
“I like the convenience of having an olde tyme hardware and general store nearby. I wish they had an “old guy”…the fella that knows everything about everything and everyone in town.
My most recent visit had me returning something without a receipt and it went quickly and smoothly.
Whether you need paint, hardware, canning supplies or windshield wipers, hot sauce and a 10mm socket, Ace is the place!
One star deducted for the “old guy”.”
“Bought a tub surround and fully satisfied with product and super impressed with all staff. From sales to delivery, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful team. Had a glaze flaw on one panel and within the day the replacement was delivered.”
“Great store!! Local owned and sooo soo kind everytime I go whether for birdseed or odd garden/car stuff. Super friendly and they always carry my mulch bags or birdseed to my car. Won't stop going ever.”
“The old 'Higganum Feed' was a dump and the people working the same sort you'd encounter at an inner city auto shop. The place is under new management which clearly takes pride in the appearance of the place and the gentleman behind the counter is friendly and helpful. Give it a try and you'll see for yourself. And no, no interest in the place, couldn't tell you the owners name.”
