Placerville True Value Hardware

Love this historical hardware store. Owned for generations by same family. Ask Albert to show you the pet raccoons. Great people and amazing service. Fix the kitchen sink or pan for gold! Get down to the brass tacs here!

This store is awesome! The owner is real friendly and helpful. Staff are great. They have a good inventory of hardware equipment and other miscellaneous items such as gold mining equipment. Its a very unique store and I highly recommend visiting.

I went into this store with my 72yr old mom. I made a purchase then went to find her & picked up another item to buy on my way out when a sales lady told me they had a larger item of what I was buying & walked me over to see it. On the way back to the register to check out I was walking in back of the other associate a woman came from nowhere & told me I put something in my purse. I kindly told her I had just made a purchase & she told me NO YOU DIDNT I watch the camera! I was in SHOCK yall!! I went to the register & opened my bag to shower her my purchase & receipt but she suddenly didnt want to see it. I showed her anyways because if youre going to accuse me of stealing Im going to prove you wrong. No one at the actual register heard her tell me I didnt make a purchase which is literally accusing me of theft. She confronted me & was breathing really hard. Im a well put together 47yr old woman. My sunglasses cost more than 90% of their store when I mentioned Im not excatly the type to steal she said in front of everyone that doesnt matter. She tried to embarrass and shame me after she wrongfully accused me of stealing when she said she was watching the cameras the whole time. I will never give them another cent of mine. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS either you will likely be treated the same should you try to check the time or grab a mint since everyone is a thief apparently at their store! No apology. Nothing. I reiterate she still tried to shame me at the register in front of my elderly mother after already embarrassing me in front of the whole store! When she was in the wrong! I would have accepted a genuine apology but didnt get one and if your watching the cameras TRY WATCHING THE REGISTER AS WELL. Absolute trash. Used to be wonderful Ive shopped there since early 90s as a teen when I lived in town and now when I visit but they have changed. You lost at least one good customer for life. Hopefully others will see this and choose to shop elsewhere also. If your driving through just skip this store when you go to Main street. You will be profiled for zero reason. Just a heads up!
