ShopRite

This store has never let me down -- whether looking for embroidery floss, party decorations, canning jars, caulking supplies, edging brushes, etc this store ALWAYS has whatever weird thing you need in the moment. In my house we call it "The Room of Requirement" (as in Harry Potter).
These guys are the best.

kind of a weird store - but 5 stars because they have a lot of really random but needed hardware/art/craft/kitchen supplies that you simply cannot get anywhere in the area without driving 15-20 minutes.

They have fabric dye, electrical cords, nice sketch books, brushes, nails, hooks, screws, duct tape, masking tape, spray paint, tons of kitchen tools, waste baskets, laundry baskets, and a ton of random stuff.

There is a lot of old stuff that looks like overpriced dollar store party supplies, but hey, maybe I’ll need party streamers some day.

5 stars for carrying stuff that’s pretty hard to find in the area, especially considering they’re open 8-10pm. Prices reflect that, but again sometimes you don’t have an hour to drive to the Home Depot in north gate and instead want to walk 5 minutes and grab the obscure wood screw you need.

Had everything I needed, and the owner was very kind! Love this local store, definitely will be back again!!!

Absolutely love this place!! Perfect for finding odds & ends for around the house, small hardware, craft supplies, kitchen stuffs, small appliances, party supplies, etc.. wonderful for days when you need something random and don't want to leave Capitol Hill. The man behind the counter is a great human being and is one of the friendliest people in Seattle, don't be afraid to ask him to help find something.

This place is awesome. It carries just about everything. A good example? Helium tanks for balloons. The Balloon company across the street doesn't sell it (why on earth not?). This place. Of course. It carries everything. You have to go in to appreciate exactly how big it is. There are store rooms that just keep winding back into the building. It's awesome.

Some of the reviews mention price. It's not a discount chain. It's a local shop on the crest of Capitol Hill. Compare the prices with the Broadway Market QFC hardware store and it's more than competitive. And even against Lowe's and Home Depot, once you factor in time and transportation it's still a better bet. Honestly, are folks expecting them to sell a hammer at Harbor Freight prices?

Did I mention local? :) And about as friendly as you'll find. I just wish I found this gem years ago.

This place has all of those little things you need, but can't find anywhere else. I got a drain snake, electrical tape, a pipe cleaner, a laundry hamper, some light bulbs, post it notes, an audio adapter, a toaster oven, sealing glass food containers for packing my lunch, a mixing bowl, a sink strainer, a sewing kit, fabric measuring tape, party supplies,

This list of things goes on and on. If you need exactly that one thing that no one carries, this place has got it. It's AWESOME.

There is tons of stuff in this store, if you can't find the thing, ask! The owner has always been great about helping me find the stuff, and he had had what I was looking for every time. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Hey, reviewers griping about prices....real estate on Capitol Hill is EXPENSIVE. You wanna save a buck fifty on a can of spray paint by driving 20 mins (each way) to navigate a soul crushing maze of endless aisles at Home Depot, go right ahead. What you are getting here is convenience, the pleasure of walking to our little 15th Avenue village, and the satisfaction of supporting a friendly family-owned business.

Doesn’t really look like a hardware store from the outside but it is, plus tons of other household goods.

I totally agree with the last reviewer that this is a completely underappreciated resource. There is SO much stuff in this tiny store - I've done everything from home repairs to birthday parties to odd baking projects with nothing beyond what I could find in its walls. Everyone within walking distance ought to check it out before assuming you need to drive somewhere to get household goods!

Great place! It was wonderful to wander around for my first visit. They have such a selection of almost everything. Gentleman working was very friendly and welcoming too!

Shoprite is a real gem. Want a new light switch? Shoprite. Paint roller? Shoprite. Birthday card? Shoprite. CD-ROMs? Shoprite.

You get the idea. It has so much stuff crammed into its modest footprint. The guy that's invariably behind the cash register is quiet and stone-faced, but very nice and happy to help you find whatever you're looking for. On many occasions it's saved me a car trip to Home Depot or Target.

Very friendly owner and lots of items in stock that you can’t find anywhere else late at night. Ideal for quick runs when you’re in a project and need the odd piece.

It’s the corona scare and they’re selling cleaning supplies without price gouging like I’ve seen elsewhere (tisk tisk amazon)

Many thanks to the owners for supporting the health of the community

Also a great place to find that random thing noone else carries

Good small businesses with friendly owner. Buy useful stuff there all the time.

Awesome store. It has everything! Chaotically wonderful. Super friendly staff and owner.

They have almost anything you need and then some stuff you didn’t know you needed! Staff is always friendly and always remember me when I come in.

Great corner store that has friendly staff and a great selection of things for the house, party supplies, you name it.

We really appreciate all the selection, and shop here often. The owners are very friendly!!

Shop owner is super kind and helpful. A wide range of items.

Excellent service very nice owner

Real nice things
