Customer Testimonials
Local hardware store that will save you money & a trip into Erie! Absolutely love shopping here for all our projects. Whether you are shopping for cleaning products, canning and preserving supplies or electrical wire, they have everything. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, there is always someone to help you out and show you where it is located in the store. We have even rented equipment from Stetson Brothers, specifically a wood chipper. They rental cost was priced less than other local rental places and the length of the rental was longer. They also offer a huge selection of BBQ grills and smokers, including the Big Green Egg, Weber, Blackstone and my personal favorite Traeger. They also have a variety of rubs, sauces and pellets to compliment all of your meat cooking needs. Parking is ample and it is conveniently located. Think twice before shopping at a big box store and check out Stetson Brothers! Forgot to mention...be sure to grab a bag of fresh popped popcorn while you are browsing...love it.

I 1000% recommend Stetson Brothers Ace Hardware if you are in the Erie area! I was broken down about 10 mins from their location and needed tools to repair my boat trailer. I went into the store and was about to spend 250-300 dollars on what I needed but then the owner of the store offered to bring a personal tool that he had on him instead of me spending the money on new tools. He brought the tool after the store closed for the day, and we were able to use it to help us repair the trailer. He took time out of his Sunday after the store was closed to come help us and refused to take cash from us for helping us out. He just did it because he is a good person and wanted to help us out. This showed me that Stetson Brothers was more concerned about helping us out than making quick dollar off of someone that was desperate for help. It also showed me that there are still great people in this world and Stetson Brothers is run by some really wonderful people. If you are in the North East or Erie area stop by and give this small family run business your time and business.I 1000% recommend Stetson Brothers Ace Hardware if you are in the Erie area!

The staff are always very friendly and helpful. I love that they can refill propane tanks and at a very low price. They stock just about anything you can imagine from Hardware to Lawn and garden supplies. They really are a one stop shop!

I called to check on availability of an item and they ran to see if it is on the floor! So sweet of them. When I got there, they showed me where to find the item. Even offered a coupon!! So kind and considerate. Everyone was smiling and happy. I will return and shop local!!!
