Jed’s Hardware & Garden Center

I like Jed’s, they have a little bit of everything you need including some non-​hardware stuff like local milk, ice cream, root beer, breads, jams, etc. Plus their garden section is nice to walk around in. You can get good pet food there as well. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff when I needed help choosing paint for my walls and other hardware questions. Their prices are a little bit more pricey but I dont mind because I like supporting good, quality family-​run businesses.

Last night at 7:45 PM, I decided to repair the faucets in the bathtub in the house bathroom. The valve parts dissolved in my hands. I called Jed’s Hardware in Holden, and asked what time they closed. They told me 8:00 PM.
I explained that I had no water, and needed these two inserts. They told me they’d keep the store open, and when I arrived, they led me right to the two parts. I finished the job, and was able to turn the water back on.
Jed’s is an awesome hardware store, and the owner — Jim Berube, is a first class human being.

Great local store with a good variety of items, wish they took agway

Jed’s Hardware is a great hardware store, with a knowledgable staff, and they sell all sorts of things that you wouldn’t expect. I have only had good experiences going to Jed’s, and even though I live close (~2 miles away), they’re my first choice for Hardware store or general store regardless of distance. Years back during a huge winter snow storm I needed an extra shovel, and while every box store in Worcester county was out of shovels and not willing to help, Jed’s had plenty. Multiple times I’ve gone in looking for a specific part, I ask one of the helpful dudes who work there and they bring me right to the part… The most bizarre was when I was looking for «a small rubber seal for a flushmaster 3,000…» And the guy was like, «Oh. yeah… Yeah I know just the part.» We walk to the back and he pulls it off the shelf and hands it to me… like $ 1.50 all told, and the piece was just the right one. Prevented a calamitous issue.
Employees are always super helpful. The only drawback is that they generally close earlier than most big box stores, but what do you expect, locally owned, locally staffed, they can’t run all hours of the night like the big chains can.
OH. Great pet supplies (my dog gives 5-​stars to their rawhide bones), solid bottled rootbeer, and they’re right next to a great Thai restaurant. So, next time you’re in need of tools and Thai food, head to Jed’s in Holden.
