This is Vermont. They are very helpful and have a great selection of peices and parts for any job. Local families locally owned.
Lotta good stuff. Poor political atmosphere on the day we were there.
We bought a refrigerator at the Pick and Shovel in August, 2019 for our summer camp. We used it until mid-August, 2019. Due to the Pandemic we didnt return until a week ago. The refrigeratorwas not cooling. We called the Pick and Shovel not knowing who else to call. They came out to our camp and checked it out. They also sent a local specialist to also check it out. Then to our surprise they gave us a new fridge. And did it all within 3 days. In a time of less than great customer service with most retailers the Pick and Shovel stepped up. We wanted all to know that this store stands by their customers.Retailers across the country could learn from them. We are now life long customers.
I worked here as a teen and still come every time Im back in VT. Nothing has changed, but they have kept with the times in all of the important ways! I always find great souvenirs to bring back to AZ and still see the familiar faces I remember. You HAVE to go to Tim & Dougs of course as well.
What are you looking for? Yeah...they have that! Try the second floor. Seriously, what a fun place to explore. Pick & Shovel is the Macys of the Northeast Kingdom. Sprawling over three floors and almost a town block, theres everything from building supplies and birdseed, to live fish and womens shoes. Staff is always ready to help and sometimes rescue the occasional lost soul from some remote corner of the store!
This place is just cool! They have a million and one things, the staff are friendly and helpful, and it’s like a maze that keeps on growing. You can buy lumber and lizards and everything in between in one stop. Plus, there’s an ice cream shop at the front! What more could you want?
Great store, huge selection, very helpful staff.
Of course it gets 5 stars.. I LOVE HARDWARE STORES!! This place has lots of almost everything! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, easy to find and an ice cream shop right outside!
Has a lot of inventory, wide variety of useful items, sales people very knowledgeable. Great place to shop
Like always very busy, has a pet store, clothing its pretty much home depot and Walmart combined
Other than the rates they have at their shipping counter (I believe it may be UPS), this is an amazing store. Its more than a store really, its a fun destination. They have floors of household items, a clothing and shoe department, toys, a candle section, an area displaying cute sayings written on wood, every piece of hardware Ive ever needed to fix my home, and even a pet store. They have a seasonal ice-cream shop too. I wanted to write today about the customer service I have always received in the plumbing department. I have zero skill sets when it comes to home repair, every single time there is some polite gentleman who comes over and magically understands what I am trying to say, and puts me on the right path to exactly the right part I need. They have workers who have great knowledge and give top notch customer service.
They have everything! Literally everything! Animal supplies! House supplies! Even clothing! Can you say a more rustic walmart with a GINORMOUS selection for small pets and all kinds of home decor!
Helpful people, love that u can get icecream and check out the pets. I got my friend a baby bunny. And loves it ever since. When working on. a house. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about their products. Which helps when your trying describe a piece to something thats under the thing next to the whosie whats it lol. They understand and will help and guide to the other things that might go with it
Great place to shop! Staff is very good
They have everything you need .. great customer service
Excellent service and employees! Great selection of everything! The best ice cream around.
Excellent variety! Really fun to spend some time in. Almost always find what I need.
The ole saying theres more in-store then you were looking for. Great place, Good prices
The best store ever! They have all the things!
Its the place to go if you are local or out-of-towner. You can literally spend all day shopping if you have time. For repair or upgrade work around the house, and for appliances, youll find any tool, and just about any replacement item.
Great place to get just about any thing you need.
Fun place to visit! In my brother-in-laws words...if they dont have it, you dont need it!
Everything you can imagine! Its like Afelskies in Barrys Bay Ontario plus Killaloe Hardware and Keetchs Lumber of Killaloe Ontario all combined!
Pick and shovel is a great place for buying anything from clothes to hardware and pets!
Love this store. It had everything. My kids get a kick out of checking everything out.
This place is amazing! There are many floors offering something for everyone..Its like the old fashioned county store, updated and selling high quality merchandise and terrific selections..The entire staff is skilled and knowledgeable about every item!Its not only necessary but fun to shop there.You can go to the big box stores miles away but being local and open every day, I save my valuable time and stress knowing if I have a job to do and not a lot of time, kids Im going here . I highly recommend YOU DO TOO!
Store has anything and everything you need to fix repair in any field, camping, boating, clothes hiking riding, anything, store is enormous, always several employees as you walk in and get personalized service.
Great store to shop at. They have every thing you may nead and then some. Highly recomend...
The picken shovel is without a doubt A staple to this area without the store many people would have to leave the area to find what they need Ed the employees are very helpful very attentive we love their ice cream enjoy the summer everybody
So many items at this store, fun to browse around. Everyone very helpful.
Do you need.... anything? Go here and look lost - somebody will be quick to ask you if you need help (and they probably have exactly what you need, in a couple options... regardless of how obscure).
Very friendly staff and very helpful.
Great pet department and live lawn and garden too!
Excellent variety of items and fair price.
They have most everything. Great place to shop.
One of the best hardware stores you can find. They have everything you can think of and always have staff around to help.
They have everything there. And the girls friendly and help. The only place for me.
Delicious ice cream, great for a hardware store, helpful staff, clean,and has so much to offer.
Whats not to love at this store. Its got everything you need and I mean everything. Pricing isnt bad and the service is excellent! Its always has been and for me thats what really sticks out and why I choose to go here instead of other stores. Who cant forgot about the ice cream shop tim and Dougs its a local land mark in my eyes. Summer doesnt start or end without it. If I could select more stars I would. Highly recommended.
Ive bought animals from here and often go to look at the animals with my girlfriend. Always helpful and always nice. When I go downstairs to check out they always act polite and respectful.
Love this place, it’s a local treasure that sells everything and has the best customer service hands down
Local hardware plus store. All normal hardware, sugar supplies, clothes, wood, fish.... Has about everything.
Absolutely love this place. The people are helpful. They have everything. Dog food, lumber, clothing, tools, appliances, paint, parts and in spring, summer, and some of fall Tim & Dougs creamy stand. Just a great experience.
I like to walk through the pet store thats upstairs. Looking for treats and toys for my parrot, Gosha. If I need help downstairs in the hardware store, they are very helpful.
Great place to go.
Great friendly service always eager to help you find something great customer service would recommend to anybody
Always a pleasure to go in the store, employees are super friendly and everyone is willing to help.
Great store with a lot of everything one could possibly need
Ah yes please on pick n shovel, they have everything. 5 stars
Huge small town hardware and lumber resource. Lots of helpful folks employed here! Always willing to help! And if the first guy or gal isnt sure they call in assistance.
If youre high risk or incredibly safe with COVID dont even bother coming here. I honestly never write reviews but Ive been going to this store for the past few months and whenever I go in the customers are talking behind the counter without their masks on or up.. I always stand there and wait a few minutes until theyre ready to address me. Usually theres 2-8 employees just joking around behind the counter and it takes a couple minutes to get their attention which is kind of annoying but not the biggest deal... today I went in to get wood pellets & this very tall, old man went out to help me move the pellets to my car. I asked him politely if he would pull his mask up (as it was down completely & I would be right next to him loading up the car); he then immediately got unnecisarily insulted and said something like WERE OUTSIDE! before storming off while talking to himself saying I cant believe this are you kidding me... NOW, Im high risk and only go to the store once every few weeks to be careful.. I dont know why me asking him to pull up his mask lead to him storming off, almost like a child having a temper tantrum! This man was a minimum of three times my age, youd think people would be able to handle themselves like adults but no... His blatant lack of common curtesy has definitely lost them a customer as I will be taking my business to Agway instead. I only share this all because I want to warn anyone who is COVID-safe or high risk, dont bother...
Great prices good service
Very friendly staff ! They are very knowledgeable as well. I got tons of help choosing the proper materials for building a fence for my garden. If you can think of it they probably have it ! Best part about it is the ice cream stand attatched to it !
Great place.. nice prices.. clean.. wonderful staff.. great selection of everything.. ice cream rocks.. pet store is awesome
Pic and Shovel has everything you could ever need. Employees are knowledgeable and friendly.
The inventory is tremendous. Its precisely like the corner hardware store from yesteryear. All the guy staff were friendly; the cashier was grumpy, impatient, and.... female. Go figure
Lots of quality products nd a friendly / helpful staff.
One of my favorite stores. They have EVERYTHING.
Great place, 1 stop shop for most everything you would want or need. Very nice educated employees who are always there to help. Prices are a bit high on certain things but the convenience makes up for it.
Pretty much has everything
I love Pick & Shovel! It is a must stop everytime I visit my family in Newport!Picked up a number if great things to include Maple products to enjoy when I get home.Highly recommend supporting this great Northeast Kingdom store.---- New Englands WildCheff
Was looking for a glass plate for inside our microwave. Someone walked us to the department they were in. Told us if it didnt fit bring it back. Raved about working there
Pick and Shovel is the place to go for anything and everything. They have friendly staff and a wide variety of items. I am always satisfied at the end of my shopping day when I come here. The lumber yard is a bonus to look forward to if youve never been. I certainly recommend a visit here.Ben RobertsBens Yard Care
They have everything. Even fish and hamsters.
Excellent store. They have everything.
Love this store.
Like an old fashioned mercantile store, this place has everything except groceries. Its my go-to place - love it!
My favorite store in Newport. If they dont have it, you dont need it. Plentiful and helpful staff. I love the patio section, upstairs from the sugaring supplies.
This place is unreal. Stop in and see for yourself
The employees are always willing to help. I always tell myself everybody has a life outside of work, so going into this place and seeing the employees with lifes problems weighing on them, but still offer great service, says a lot about who they are and who the company is.
They have everything youve ever needed.
All your needs in one stop!
Usually I love shopping here, great customer service, I get all my insects from the pet shop. However recently I bought a flag polea it didnt fit. I went to return it with the receipt to get one that fit. They told me they could not accept it unless I had the original packaging which was a plastic bag that covered the pole. I had thrown it away and they could do nothing about it. This caught me off guard as they are usually very helpful. Just so other people know make sure you save every last bit of packing material that comes with your item if you need to return it even the plastic it comes in. A receipt is not enough.
Always get plenty of help everytime I go up usually head right for the animal shop
Anything and everything you could ever want. Clean and staff are amazing!
The inventory knowledge and hospitality quality is sporadic but if you know what your looking for they typically have it.
Go here, not walmart
Great help
There very very nice people but there animals are lacking proper care there cages are too small and I’ve seen ADULT Syrian hamsters living together and looked quite stressed. and when I went to get two mice for pets I was expecting just two but they were both pregnant so now we have 19 mice they shouldn’t sell mice that weren’t separated in time to prevent babies without letting the buyer know
Pic has most anything you want if they dont have it they will order if you have a number or make.
Best hardware store in these parts. And Tim and Dougs has the best ice cream in the world!!
Always a good place to go for anything you could possibly need. Highly recommend.
Something for the whole family including pets. Friendly staff.
A lot of variety. Farm, garden, home, hardware, clothing, footwear, wood pellets, limited lumber. Will allow shopping WITHOUT masks, big plus.
Always the best customer service and if they dont have it, you probably dont need it. Much better than the big box store across town.
Very friendly customer service
Got a chip key for my Tacoma. I lost my spare. Amazing deal. Saved a boat load of $.
Great place. This is a full service hardware/ lumber yard. Staff is more then helpful. This place has everything and i mean everything. Its the only hardware store Ive been in that has a Full pet store and clothing including a lingerie Dept. If your in the Newport area you must check this place out. They sell some of the best Ice cream in the area also.
Always my go to place for hard to find hardware and all items!
Employees were great, kind, and helpful. Prices are a little on the expensive side for some items, but overall fair.
We had an awesome time at this hardware store. Ice cream is yummy!
My favorite store in Vermont ! Theyve got it all, from hardware to pets to ice cream ! Fun place to go 👍
When you want to buy hardware items you go with a list in mind. Then you arrive and there are an abundance of helpful employees when ask if you need something. Unlike big box stores like Home Depot or Lowes, Pick and Shovel gives excellent customer service when having a huge selection of items. But it gets better, there ice cream stand is a delicious way to relax after the stress of buying hardware items. The price if the ice cream is so reasonable it blows you away.
Huge selection of anything you could possibly need and friendly knowledgeable staff to make sure you get what you need for your project
