store which sells building materials
Hardware store
Hardware stores sell
hardware: for instance
fasteners,
keys,
locks,
hinges,
wire,
chains,
plumbing supplies,
tools,
utensils,
cutlery and
machine parts.These stores were once as much a part of
American small town culture as the
drug store soda fountain and local
church, but in recent years larger "building materials" centershave outmoded them. In the
United Kingdom, hardware stores were traditionally (pre-1980s) called ironmongers, and larger, out-of-town hardware shops are called Do-it-Yourself or DIY centres.
