Samson True Value Hardware

Jane Atkinson

I am a small business owner and like to also support small businesses. I went to Samson’s to pick up a few things. I noticed the employees had masks but all around their necks. When I approached the counter to pay for my products I ask the fellow to please put on his mask. He gave me a big eye roll and grudgingly complied. We had a brief conversation about the importance of masking, for public health and for economic reasons. He could care less and told me so. I’m sorry to have to move my business to a big chain store that has a policy to act more responsibly in these trying times. With cases rising drastically across Alaska it should be the responsibility of every person to do the one thing that makes the biggest difference: wear a mask to stop the spread. This is not a political issue it’s a community health issue and I expect businesses that care about our community to do the one simple thing they can. Sorry I won’t be back to Samson’s until they change their policy.

Great place for hard to find items. Very friendly and helpful staff. It's the kind of hardware store every city used to have. Many items for living the Alaska lifestyle. Better experience than any box store can offer!

My partner and I love shopping here! They carry a wide range of products you don't find in the box stores (such as tree tapping supplies, crockery, apiary supplies, and super nice spring lock jars) as well as outdoor and camp gear. I'm always surprised at their wide array every time we go in. I love that the stuff is super friendly and they keep a selection of print outs from the UAF Extentions Office, which has really come in handy with our homesteading efforts.

Still the best little hardware and anything store in central Alaska.
