You know us for nuts, bolts, and that one tiny screw you brought in a ziplock bag hoping we could identify (we did, by the way 😉). But did you know we’re also your secret weapon for the best greeting cards in Charlotte?

Our paper goods aisle just got a major upgrade with the arrival of Roger la Borde cards! Packed with rich colors, whimsical art, and breathtaking laser-cut details, these aren’t just cards—they’re practically frame-worthy mini masterpieces.

Whether you need a quick “Thank You,” a “Happy Birthday,” or a “Just Thinking of You,” we’ve got you covered for every occasion on your calendar.

Good olive oil makes dinner better. Good Greek olives make happy hour better. Truly Greek brings you both – and the full collection is now available at Blackhawk Hardware. 🫒

The Truly Greek collection traces its roots to the olive groves of Lakonia, where generations of one family worked the land, shared recipes and preserved the Mediterranean traditions that inspired two cousins to bring those authentic flavors to tables around the world.

We’re proud to bring that story – and a delicious collection of Greek olives, stuffed varieties and premium extra virgin olive oils – to our Charlotte community.

Come see why Blackhawk is the place for the practical, the unusual and the unexpectedly delicious. Shop Truly Greek in-store today at Blackhawk Hardware in Park Road Shopping Center!

The Blackhawk Garden Center has plants, planters, fountains, garden supplies, and a team ready to help with everything from “What should I plant here?” to “Why does this one look sad?” 😅

Come visit Blackhawk Hardware at Park Road Shopping Center and find the Garden Center in the back parking lot. If you need directions, just ask one of our in-store employees. We know the way. 😉

SIT.STAY.SHOP🐾: Meet five of Charlotte’s most beloved shop dogs.

🐶🐶NACHO AND SCOUT, Blackhawk Hardware and Garden Center Blackhawk Hardware

Official Titles: Colonel Nacho and Sergeant Scout, commanders of customer smiles and fur-ocious protectors of the store

Make a visit to Blackhawk Hardware, and you’re sure to see the store’s two favorite employees, Nacho and Scout. Nacho, a 7-year-old goldendoodle, is the big, loveable dope of the pair, while Scout, a rescue that might be part poodle, is described as an old, wise man.

The two have a set routine, starting their day by visiting the store’s lower-level cashiers’ station to get a pet from longtime employee Carrie. Then it’s on to visit Donald, the store’s official greeter (well, the one on payroll at least). After those duties are done, the rest of the day is spent trying to collect as much adoration as possible.

“They have a habit of finding the most inconvenient place to plop down so everyone has to pet them,” co-owner Andy Wilkerson says. They have mapped out where they can get the most attention, but we actually get calls to make sure the dogs are here before people come in.”

Nacho and Scout can be mischievous, though. The dynamic duo once figured out they could “borrow” rawhide chews from the pet department. Wilkerson couldn’t figure out why so many went missing until an employee caught Nacho in the act.
