“My daughter and I were stranded on the side of the road with no cell reception in the middle of the Ocala National Forest and we're sooooo fortunate to be close to Salt Springs Hardware. They took us in for 3 hours, while we tried to arrange towing, gave us access to their land-line phone to make several phone calls, and connected us with local mechanics and tow services. While there, we couldn't help but notice the remarkable variety of supplies they keep on the shelves for such a small-town hardware store. Can't praise the staff enough and give their shop a resounding 5-Star rating!”
