Also depends on how how you define hardware store. Where you can still buy a single bolt or nut. Nails by the pound, and the people who work there don't have to call someone else to answer a simple question? Yes, and it isn't home depot or lowes. We have a real hardware store where I live where even the kids working there usually don't have to call for help and if they do it is because they really don't know and will try to find someone that doe's. The owner or manager that will need to call someone monday and to your amazement will really call you back and tell you where you can get it even if it is their competetor. Few and hard to find, but yes, where I live we still have one and I support them any time I can.
