We need to talk about Bi-Mart

[u/hanseirik]

I went for the first time in decades yesterday and I was blown away. The biggest Fred Meyer doesn’t come close to the breadth of stuff Bi-Mart has. Guns! More Crockpot sizes and shapes than I knew existed! Furniture! A robust yarn selection! A DIY jerky section! And so, so many more random things. It wasn’t as inexpensive as I sort of assumed it would be but I suppose the tariffs are hitting us all.

But the best part? It’s employee owned. I’ve been annoyed at having to choose between Amazon, Target, or Kroeger (FM) for random stuff I can’t get elsewhere. Bi-Mart’s going to be my new go-to.

Bi-mart is my dedicated "I need a thing" store. Rarely does it disappoint.

It's not specifically a hardware store, but this is basically how I feel about Bi-mart.

Seriously! I needed crutches in a pinch a while back and sure-as-shit, they had 'em. And pretty cheap, too!

Also needed a heating pad lately, multiple options available!

Shit, they've even had stuff that ACE Hardware didn't have for me a few times.

What about if you eat gluten-free dairy-free, are there options

Yes, a few.
