When visiting a traditional retail establishment, the term "hardware store" typically refers to a business that specializes in selling physical goods and tools used for building, remodeling, repairing, and maintaining homes, vehicles, and gardens. The merchandise stocked in these stores includes tangible physical items such as hand tools, power tools, nuts, bolts, screws, nails, electrical wiring supplies, plumbing fixtures, locks, keys, paint, and various general-purpose adhesives. Unlike department stores that sell clothing or grocery stores that sell food, a hardware store focuses entirely on the physical material goods required by contractors, tradespeople, and do-it-yourself homeowners to construct or fix physical structures and mechanical systems.
