Tupelo Hardware Co

Step back in time with this amazing hardware store. Obviously Elvis got his first guitar from here, and they are great about answering questions. Very helpful crew and very friendly.

Such a cool place! You can stand right where Elvis bought his first guitar!!

Mr. Floyd was awesome! He told us some stories about Elvis and the store, so glad this place is still in business, and happy that fans from all over the world come to visit. Elvis fans ROCK! We just bought our daughter's first guitar here, just like Elvis! (Definitely more than $7 though, haha!) She asked for one a year ago and I asked her to wait, knowing exactly where to buy one for her too, heehee, totally worth it and the wait too. Thank you, Tupelo Hardware Store!

Cool original hardware store still owned by the original family. Many of the original store fixtures and original tin ceiling are still here. This hardware store is where Elvis Presley and his mother purchased his first guitar on January 8th, 1946 when he was 11. They have a very informative employee who is very knowledgeable on the history of the store and its connection to Elvis Presley. Still a functioning hardware store and well worth a visit.

What an amazing hardware store and the history was so wonderful to see and hear about and we stood on the spot where Elvis got his first guitar. So fun to stop and browse and see it all!

We had an amazing visit. Mr. Floyd was so welcoming and informative. He spend several minutes telling us Elvis stories and showing us where Elvis stood when his mother bought him his first guitar. We took advantage of the opportunity to purchase my son his first guitar too.

We wish we could've stayed longer to listen to all of the Elvis stories but we had a schedule to keep yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the ones we did get to hear and the gentleman we spoke to was very friendly. We plan on returning in June and bringing my Mama back, she is gonna love it here! Thank you for being so nice to us!!

X MARKS THE SPOT WHERE Elvis stood, at nine years old, and bought his first guitar!
Worth the visit. The gentlemen who run the hardware are super nice and will tell you the story in detail.

It's a really neat place to visit

Another Bucket List item accomplished! Friendly staff and they were very happy to talk to us about Elvis, with absolutely all the time in the world for us, with no pressure to make a purchase. Well worth a visit if you are in Tupelo.

A must see for Elvis fans! Very friendly staff also! :)

What a lovely stop on our grand Elvis tour!! The people in here couldn’t be nicer and they have quite the selection of cute souvenirs!

A real piece of the history of Tupelo. I shopped there with my Dad when I was a young boy. I have heard they’re thinking of closing this location. I surely hope not. Too Historical to lose!!!

A must visit stop if you are visiting Tupelo. Such a historic building and if Mr. Wayne is working, he'll be sure to tell you some great stories!

Great store, but the best part is the people. He overheard me say my son loves Elvis and took 15 minutes telling my son stories and showing him stuff. Best part of the afternoon for my Elvis lover, not to mention the store is organized and clean and well-stocked. Thank you!

Delightful place, staff, and a bit if Elvis history as well.

As soon as you walk in you can tell that this is not part of a chain of stores that just wants to get you in and out as fast as possible. And I mean that in a really good way. It's more like taking a step back, to when I was a kid going to the hardware store with my Dad. I love the old feel about this store. From the wood floor on up. They have a good selection, and everyone is friendly and eager to help. I will definitely shop here again.

Fascinating place to stop the historical aspect of it. If you’re an Elvis fan, this is a must see.

Historic store. Very friendly & helpful staff.

The staff is wonderful. They told us all about Elvis and pointed out the location Elvis stood in when he purchased his first guitar.
