Yumont Hardware
So it’s one-tenth the size of a Lowe’s. So what? Yumont still has everything a do-it-yourselfer needs: nuts, bolts, bulbs, paint, showerheads, lawn care. All that, plus associates who don’t need to be paged and a well-worn checkout counter cluttered with batteries, alarm clocks, and neighborhood gossip. Stop in, and you might never return to that big blue box in the ‘burbs.
