True Value Hardware
True Value is an underrated grill destination. While everyone fights the crowds at Home Depot and Lowe's, your local True Value hardware store quietly stocks a solid lineup of Weber, Char-Broil, and Char-Griller grills — often with better customer service and the ability to see floor models before buying. I've rounded up the best grills you'll find at most True Value locations.

True Value is a co-op — each store is independently owned. That means inventory varies by location. Call your local store before driving over to confirm they have the model you want in stock. Many will also special-order grills at no extra charge.
True Value stores often price-match Home Depot and Lowe's. If you find a lower price online, ask — most owners will match it to keep your business local. You won't get that at a big box store.
Assembly is a True Value superpower. Many locations offer free or low-cost assembly on grills purchased in-store. At Home Depot, you're paying $100+ for assembly or doing it yourself. Ask your local True Value about their policy.
Shop the spring sale events. True Value runs national sales around Memorial Day, Father's Day, and 4th of July with significant grill discounts. Sign up for their rewards program to get early access and additional coupons.
Weber dominates True Value's grill selection. If you're a Weber fan, True Value is one of the best authorized dealers. They carry the full Spirit and Kettle lines, and staff are typically more knowledgeable about Weber products than big-box store associates.
