Everything I need without leaving the peninsula!!Seriously, I dont know how they do it, but I can always find what I need at this store. And the staff is so helpful and friendly. I dont know why it took me so long to discover this neighborhood gem!In the last few months Ive gotten extension cords, mailbox numbers, shelf brackets, laundry baskets, cleaning supplies, anti-tip kits for furniture, garden tools...the list goes on and and on.Its the Anti-Amazon!Their website is also really well maintained and so I can check to see what is there before I go (Spoiler Alert: they have it!), but if I dont know exactly what it is I need, someone is always happy to help.The prices are also competitive, I never feel like I over paid for the convienece of shopping nearby.5 Stars. Terrific Store. Part of what makes Annapolis such a great place to live. ⛵

Kasia was very helpful! She took me right where I needed to be when I asked a question about something I was looking for and got me in and out in no time. I highly recommend this place. Great customer service!

This place is excellent! Very helpful staff, good prices! Literally 2 minutes in the door, I was asked if I needed help, directed to my destinations. The staff really took the time to explain everything to me and were very knowledgeable. Very pleased with my experience here. Glad to support a local store instead of the big box stores around!

Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff! It’s well worth the visit to this local hardware store because every employee here is eager to assist and answer your questions.

Kind of a dump. Overpriced goods for those that do not want to drive to a Home Depot. Just because that sounds rude, doesnt make it less true.

Always great selection and very helpful staff. Wide selection of household items to get any to-do list done.

My first visit here was one enough to make me never want to come back but, I did. I had to make a very quick stop here because I was short on time. This experience was probably one of the best hardware store experiences Ive ever had. At check out Drew was so helpful, personable and so easy to talk to. The check out process went smooth, and quick but was perfectly pleasant. Ill definitely be back!

K&B offers soooo many great things. I can get paint, bird seed, dish towels or a hostess gift. Its kind of amazing. The customer service is the best Ive seen. They always answer my questions. Thank you, K&B!

This former gem used to be my go-to place and was 5 stars for years. Ive noticed a steady decline in customer service since new management took over and Jared became more sparse. Today was the last straw when the checkout person refused to check why the product that was supposed to be discounted wasn’t ringing up as such.It would have been ok with me if a mgr came up and it was not discounted, but she repeatedly refused.Sorry TValue, but your higher prices are no longer balanced by your formerly outstanding customer service.

Wonderfully knowledgeable staff - I now happily drive 40 miles roundtrip past 3 big box type hardware stores because K&B True Value has what I need - I never have to wander the isles looking for someone to help me or find an empty shelf or bin - They have everything you could possibly need for your house and garden (including every type and size nut, bolt, screw, etc.) - The service and selection makes me think Ive stepped into a time machine that delivered me back to the 1960s - Wow!!

This shop has always been my go to for any hardware or yard needs. I always receive the best service, as well as great quality items and well priced. And now...fast and efficient delivery right to my door step, often within hours! Who can ask for more? Above all... it’s the great cast of staff members that sets this store apart!

K&B is so convenient. They always seem to have what you need. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff. Best deal on water softener salt in town.

Horrible company. Incredibly unresponsive to employees and randomly terminates employees for no reason at all. The company is also incontrovertibly unreliable. If I could give 0 stars I would.

We are so appreciative of this great hardware store being in our community! The customer service and friendliness is always top-notch and they have everything you could possibly need. They’re doing a great job during the current pandemic of offering online shopping or by phone, and then bringing items out to your car. Thanks for being an awesome local business!

Incredible staff, customers were being really stupid and mean clients, so darn professional in the face of such stupidity. Very young staff, dealing with very immature seniors. It gave me such hope for the future, and I just showed up for some cit glass.

In a contractor have a usually buy supplys home Depot, stopped by kb to get a few things for my personal home like I have done in the past, store was about to close in about 5 mins. I was not quite finished picking up my items from the shelf in front of me when the manager or owner came over and said that the store was closed and he wanted me to leave now because he had a meeting with his employees. Im a business owner also I understand, but you need to handle your customers with a little more respect when its only 2 minutes after closing, maybe asking politely if you can help them finish picking up their items instead of chasing them out of the store 2 minutes after closing thank you.

I went here specifically because I knew I would get much better customer service then if I went to Home Depot....and boy was I not disappointed!! A sales person immediately asked if I needed help and I was able to quickly locate (a screw in this situation). I will start going here all the time just because of the customer service!

Great service as always. Seriously. The lady who knew most about plants pointed me in the exact right direction with tomatoes and red and yellow peppers. Never been to a better hardware store, and some prices big Big Orange! (Home Depot)

Very convenient location and friendly staff. Their modest size means a limited selection, but they do a good job of rotating things seasonally. Love supporting local!

Great local small business. Very Customer focus and I am always able to find what u need. Really good value compared to the bug box stores and very knowledgeable staff to help with solution ideas.

Could this have been racially/ethnicity motivated?My wife and I purchased one bag of soil and two packs of jiffy starter containers. The following day we were informed by Annapolis Police that an employee witnessed my wife and I stealing a bag of potting soil and wrote down our licence plate. The employee or management called the local APD on my wife and I and atempted to press charges for theft. For an $8 bag of potting soil.An officer showed up at our house incessantly pounding on the door informing us of the allegations and began to interview us. The officer told us to get in touch with the detective on the case.Proof of purchase via credit card receipt and bill of sale provided by true value upon purchase was shown to the officer/detective. The officer met with true value management and confirmed that no theft had taken place. We were wrongfully accused and harassed by employees/management at this true value location. The manager called us apologising claiming that somthing like this has never happened during the decades they have been in business at that location. My family and I no longer have faith (let alone feel safe or comfortable) in our local community supported true value [that we have also supported for over 20 years of us living in and raising a family in Annapolis].Could this have been racially/ethnicity motivated? We would like to think not.Whatever the reason was it was admittedly wrong and unacceptable on their behalf coming from management who called us after they resolved their mistake.Management blamed a mistaken employee that they trusted their judgment but instead of investigating at all on their own they immediately went from zero to one hundred and wasted the Annapolis Police department, my families and their own time. This could have been resolved internally in an instant without harassing my family.Another note.This was during covid-19 no customers are allowed in the store. All purchases are done over the phone and an employee brings the items to your car after payment is processed.We called the store and placed our order for three items, payment was processed 10 minutes later an employee loaded the items into our trunk. The next day we find out true value is pressing charges against us for theft of one of the items.During these stressful times of covid-19 it is understandable to be over worked and on edge. I thank you for providing our community with your service and still operating under the circumstances.My family and I understand that this was a mistake on true values end but it does not under any circumstances make it right or ok. This is completely unacceptable and appalling behavior.We hope this never happens to another true value customer.

Great store! They have a fun selection of casual home goods, as well as all the stuff you would expect to be at a hardware store. Also they fill propane tanks!

The K&B True Value is a marvelous store. I have had many times in my life when I required some piece of gardening equipment, and not once have I had to go to more than one store. The staff is always happy to help you find whatever you need.

Wonderful neighborhood hardware store. Always have what I need and so convenient. Today I went to get a garden tool to replace an old one that broke. Found what I needed and was on sale. The place was packed with people. Love this store.

Ordered two items that were “in stock” from their online store. Arrived at the physical store the following day and was told that they did not have the two items that I had purchased from the website. Was issued a refund. Waste of my time due to their inaccurate online store.

Great customer service and a big selection. We were greeted immediately and one of the staff noticed we had a welcome to the neighborhood coupon so were given a tour and shown where everything is. The line was long but moved very fast, the employee at the counter was a very nice guy. Hard to find places like this anymore.

Great place to go in the neighborhood. Good selection, reasonable prices (but watch out for huge mark-ups on selected items). Information provided by the staff varies from excellent to dead wrong. Assistance in finding items is equally variable, from helpful to clueless, to surly on occasion (when I insisted to a specific item necessary to do a small chore the proper way w/o damaging the tool). Im a regular.

Great local hardware with people who actually know there stuff. Much better than those big box places where you have to beg for help.

It is unfortunate that my experience has been so crummy every single time I have tried to patronize this establishment. I have been a poorly served customer for four years now so I will quit trying.

The ONLY place to get keys copied. 100% of the time, the keys work. Yay! Forget going anywhere else. Also, you can get birdseed, nice gift things and even an ice cream sandwich, if you are craving .

Im so irritated and pissed off with the employees three of them to be exact.. I went in yesterday for solar eclipse glasses and was told the shipment was coming in today Saturday the 19th, I told the woman Id be in first thing when the three of them said well the shipment wont come in until 9am, thinking they would obviously tell the truth I listened to the employees.. needless to say they lied the shipment was in first thing and I missed out on my solar eclipse glasses because I listened too three employees who obviously either dont know the stores shipment times or flat out lied!

Was so disappointed when I went in yesterday to find that they have completely discontinued the picture hanging kits and accessories that they used to carry. Has all been replaced by velcro hooks and velcro strips. An artist framing their own work needs professional grade hanging hardware...too bad. Not a real hardware store any more.

An awesome place to go for the following reasons: customer service, selection, price, and answers to questions. I lost count the number of times their advice pointed me in the right direction. Its inversely proportional to the number of times I go to Home Depot and never find what I need because its out of stock or those that work there just dont know what they are selling.
