Jed's Hardware & Garden Center

As recent first time home owners we quickly learned regular trips to the hardware store would be a new part of our lives.

Over the past year or so we have been visiting Jed's. They have just about everything you would need for a quick weekend project.

Compared to other hardware stores in the area we have been very impressed by their staff. They are all very knowledgeable and helpful. Today we were looking for a couple of specialty screws and before we could even reach that section of the store two workers asked if we needed help with anything.

In addition to hardware supplies, they have a really nice garden section with high-quality plants. We were particularly impressed with their hydrangeas, which were 2-3 times larger than other nurseries we have seen and listed at the same price.

Also, worth noting this place is the spot in town to buy a Christmas tree! Right after Thanksgiving they ship in tons of trees and offer them for a flat rate.

If you find yourself needing to stop by a hardware store I would highly recommend dropping by Jed's over one of the other big box stores in town.

My lawnmower, lot the drain plug and I went in town at a place that sells and repairs lawnmowers. They couldn't help me. They said they needed serial numbers, manufacture numbers and engine numbers.
So I went to Jed's took a couple of pictures of the drain plug hole of the lawnmower. Anthony was helping me we picked a couple different boats and rubber washers and it worked perfectly so I highly recommend Jed's hardware!
I've lived in Holden for 14 years and in all the times I've gone there only one time they weren't able to help me , I give them 100% when it comes to quality service great family own business.

Great selection, helpful staff, and affordable prices. Much more convenient than going all the way into Worcester.

I like Jed's, but always wondered where they got the name because the owner's name is Jim. They basically have one of everything, sometimes two. They have a lot of lawn and garden supply materials, and one time when I was working on a car and one of the lug nuts was cross threaded by somebody who was "helping" me, they were the only ones that had the correct die to rethread the bolt. The prices are quite a bit higher than Home Depot, but not quite enough to make it worth that extra 4 or 5 miles in each direction to go into Worcester, which is something that we always avoid as much as possible. The only thing that I would want them to improve is the greeting that you get from some of their personnel, it's not bad but they can improve that a little bit.

They just put in a new building, and they're renting power equipment and selling work clothes. They also have pet food, including the expensive good stuff, at slightly lower prices than most pet shops. The thing I love about this place the most is the owner gives long-term employees an ownership stake. Smart businessman! Go there and experience an area icon.

Staff are very helpful and responsive, also has pet food and handy tools. Great business

Great place to shop locally. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. Personally I would rather support Jed's than a large box store.

I use this place for all my "quick i need this" needs. Its right in town for me and a great go to option. The staff is knowledgeable and on many occasions have gave me great advice and tips. Even the younger staff there seems to know a bit too which is great!

I hope this place never closes.

I purchased a snowblower from JED'S hardware in fall of 2018. I only used it once in 2018/19, as I have a plow. I stored it properly. Upon starting it this fall 2019, the machine being less than a year old, it would not start. I brought it to JEDS to see if they could get it started. They would not stand behind their product, they would not have it repaired for me, and they told me to take it elsewhere to get serviced. They also told me that they did not carry the product anymore and would not stand behind the product that they carried when I purchased it. Needless to say I am very unhappy with the service that was provided to me by JEDS. I am also going to contact the Better Business Bureau , file a claim in small claims court, and picket outside of their establishment if I have to. Please do not shop at JEDS you don't need anything that they have.

Good hardware store, but you have to be careful with the prices. Some things are very competitively priced, and others are crazy expensive. typically items for lawn care or driveway salt, bird seed things like that, dog food, are reasonably priced, but I went into their new Workwear and Rental building recently and was just astonished at how high some of the prices are it was really eye-opening

Every time I go to this place, I see the sign that says Jed's and think of that old show show on TV, Beverly Hillbillies and that silly intro song. They're not the cheapest, but they always seem to have what you want, they're very friendly, and it's an interesting place to go. If I need something that I know Walmart has, I'll go there, but if it's something that's a little bit different Jed's will probably have it. Love that Christmas tree smell too!
