Prescott True Value is a unique hardware store in the realm of hardware stores, specifically the Kitchen Shoppe and Outdoor Living departments. Very few hardware stores have a kitchen and gift area the size of Prescott True Value’s. The Kitchen Shoppe evolved from the small kitchen section in the original location (where New Frontiers is currently located) to more than 3,600 square feet filled with everything for your kitchen plus trendy, one-of-a-kind gifts and more.
Eons ago (20 years plus), Prescottonians had limited shopping choices, especially when it came to the home. Furniture stores yes, but no housewares or gifty stores other than K-mart, Cornet or Yellow Front. Prescott True Value recognized that Prescott needed a place to buy dishes, silverware, pots and pans, as well as trendy, upscale home décor and giftware.
Buying trips to the National Housewares show, the Atlanta Gift Mart and other shows to see what new, exciting products should be brought to Prescott have become biannual events. Over the years, Prescott True Value’s Kitchen Shoppe has expanded to become more than just a kitchen department carrying gadgets and appliances, now offering gourmet foods, premium grade olive oils, balsamic vinegar, linens, canning supplies, gourmet cutting boards, kitchen cutlery, Fiesta Ware, cookware (Lodge, Swiss Diamond and Curtis Stone), barware, glassware, and even rustic furniture.
As the Kitchen Shoppe evolved, so did the outdoor living department. What started out with a few grills and basic patio furniture has now become a destination for a large selection of patio furniture, grills, fountains, birdbaths, gazing balls, kinetic yard art and more. The largest selection of Weber grills can be found here along with Saber infrared grills, Big Green Egg smokers, Kamado smokers and everything in between. The selection of outdoor furniture is also one of the largest in Prescott, and includes handcrafted artistic metal chairs and tables, metal rocking chairs, firepits, benches, bistro sets, wicker sets, plus several different types of outdoor dining sets. No matter what your style, there is something at True Value that will bring character and life to your outdoor living space.
Today, Prescott True Value’s Kitchen Shoppe and Outdoor Living departments are a destination for people looking for something more than what the big boxes carry. In fact, many locals bring their out-of-town guests and relatives to the store, telling them they won’t believe what great things can be found at Prescott True Value. QCBN
