About

Maine Hardware opened the doors back in 1934 on Congress Street. In 1978, we moved to our current location and today, Maine Hardware occupies over 37,000 square feet on 2 floors at Union Station Plaza on St. John Street. Our philosophy is simple—give you the Power to do it Yourself. We do this by offering great products at great prices sold to great customers by great people. Sounds great, huh?

Here's a photo of the old store on Congress Street from 1971.  Many of our customers remember the old store.

Portland is a special place. We love our community. As Big Box stores have come (and gone), our loyal customers have appreciated the power of buying local with us for the past 85 years.

We're located at:

274 St John Street
Portland, ME 04102

We’re super convenient for those on and off the peninsula.
