Wabamun Home Hardware

It's great to have a local hardware, I started coming to this store when it first opened a few decades ago, however the original owner was paranoid that every customer should be followed so they don't steal. I stopped going to the store for that reason, it made everyone feel uncomfortable in the store. When the store changed ownership I started to stop and pick up a few items. They say the past always repeats itself. Today a new clerk stood at the end of the isle watching me until I was done. I quickly went to the till to pay and polity asked "I was curios why you were watching me" she replied "I'm sorry it made you feel uncomfortable". BTW she never asked if I needed help.
So, goodbye to Wabamun Home Hardware, I will now support local shops in Evansburg or Stony Plain.

I gave this store a 5 star review a year ago….
“Best place ever. So much stuff for a smaller store. Fantastic staff too. Both deserve a 5/5 ”
Now it scores a 1.
What the heck is happening? Everything has gone to pot since the former manager Bob left.
Now I’m lucky to find what I need even in stock.
The entire pet aisle is virtually empty. There are huge product holes everywhere. Not even worth going there anymore.
Too bad since the staff are the Best and really know their stuff.
They try to keep the store stocked properly but the totally absent owner has instructed them to Only order enough product to fill the shelves and leave the warehouse free of product.
Pardon?
Why would Mr Owner hire qualified professionals only to railroad their recommendations?
Now the shelves are clear and there’s Nothing left in pockets everywhere.
Because of him I don’t know if it’s even worth the time to go there anymore. The Evansburg hardware store is simply amazing with their stock. The quality is high and the prices are good but I really like the Staff at the Wabamun Home Hardware.
Too bad about the owner’s limited vision and capability. If it continues like this the store could easily die.

Always very helpful even when the store is busy. I usually find what I am looking for every time. Nice having Propane available too. An awesome resource for the hamlet of Wabamun and area.

Great little hardware store. Great selection of goods Great service, Great place to browse. Large selection of goods

Best place ever. So much stuff for a smaller store. Fantastic staff too. Both deserve a 5/5

Amazing selection for a small town store! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! Great place.

I would like to let everyone know about the experience I had today May 7,2022. I went to purchase some 3/4 spruce plywood. After paying for the material I went to the yard where I meet Bob for the first time. I explained to him with the cost of these ($289.77) for three sheets, I was going to be only taking good quality sheets. No broken comers, no missing chunks of plys. Where he responded “we don’t get to pick our sheets, so why should you”. Where I replied” this is a lot of money, and I work hard for it so I’m going to need near perfect sheets”. He responded with “you think I don’t work hard for my money”. Then he refused me service, and told that he won’t be selling me anything today and go get a refund. He expected me to take the next three sheets no mater condition. I have lived local for 20 years and shopped here many, many times. This would have never happened with the pervious owners. So I got my refund and drove to Spruce Grove Home Depot, and spend my hard earned money there. And hope you do also. I’ve also started a file with corporate. If you have also had poor service with Bob I please ask you to due the same. And maybe things will get better for others. Not for me as I will be shopping elsewhere for my materials.
