hardware store

Sells nails, lumber

A hardware store is a retail shop selling tools, building materials, and supplies for home repair and improvement.

Stock typically includes fasteners, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies, hand and power tools, and lawn and garden equipment.

I need to run to the hardware store for some screws and a new drill bit.
