  “This store is a real gem! They have a fantastic selection of unique items, especially things you’d need for living in Alaska. The staff were incredibly friendly and really helpful – it felt like a classic, neighborhood hardware store, which is something you don’t find much of anymore. Honestly, it’s a much better shopping experience than you’d get at a big box store.” report abuse

  “Samson’s is still a fantastic place to shop, especially if you’re after unique or hard-to-find items. They’ve got a great selection of standard hardware, but they really shine when it comes to things like vintage hardware, quality pottery, and cast iron. Honestly, if you can’t locate what you need, don’t hesitate to ask – the staff there are incredibly knowledgeable and can usually track something down for you much quicker than you could on your own.” report abuse

It’s like shopping with a friendly neighbor, and I’d always choose Samson’s over anywhere else. Thank you for being such a valued part of our community!” report abuse

  “Samson’s is a real gem – a classic hardware store that’s been a lifesaver for me. They always seem to stock exactly what I’m looking for, from basic tools to more specialized things like food dehydrators. It’s great knowing you can find everything you need without spending ages searching. What really sets them apart is the fantastic service; everyone is so friendly, helpful, and really knows their stuff. It’s not fancy like some of the big stores, but it’s exactly what you need, and it’s a huge relief not having to travel miles to find it.” report abuse

  “I absolutely love this store! I was really searching for dowels, and thankfully they had the perfect selection. Beyond that, they have an amazing range of products, particularly a fantastic selection of canning and preserving supplies – I’m a huge fan of their sourdough keepers. The staff is always so helpful, and honestly, it’s my go-to store over Lowe’s and Home Depot. As a homeschooling parent, I especially appreciate being able to bring my kids along and find everything we need for our projects.” report abuse

The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and really friendly – they seem to genuinely care about helping you find what you need. Plus, they stock some unique items you just don’t see anywhere else around here, maybe even in the whole state. And, to top it off, the prices are really reasonable. I honestly think it’s my favorite store in town.” report abuse

  “My husband and I absolutely love shopping here. They have such a fantastic selection of unique items – things you just don’t find at big-box stores, like tree tapping supplies, beautiful pottery, beekeeping equipment, and really lovely spring lock jars. Plus, they carry a great range of outdoor and camping gear. I’m consistently impressed by the variety they offer, and I especially appreciate the helpful printed materials they have from the UAF Extensions Office; they’ve been incredibly useful for our homesteading projects.” report abuse

  “Samson’s has been a Fairbanks staple for so long, and you can really tell they’re part of the community – they genuinely care about their customers. They carry a fantastic selection of things you just won't find at the big box stores, like those old kerosene lantern chimneys and parts, and even those classic pitcher pump leathers. Seriously, if you’re looking for something unique, start your search at Samson’s. It’s great to see local businesses like this thriving, so please support them!” report abuse

  “I was so frustrated trying to find the correct plumbing part – I ended up getting the wrong thing three times at the big box store. The staff at Samson were a complete lifesaver! They were incredibly patient, took the time to understand exactly what I needed, and even showed me how it would all fit together. Seriously amazing service, and it’s a bit of a drive for me, but I’ll definitely be a regular customer from now on.” report abuse
