Capital Iron is closing and I'm sad. I would really like to see this building stay looking exactly the way it does. It should be declared a heritage site if it isn't already. I can see it turned into combination eatery and "made in BC " stores.like a full time year round area for artisans and crafters to sell their creations. I'm so wanting to buy Canadian made and home grown things. Tired of having to hunt in the made-in-far-far-away-factories jungle. Plus I get tired when I shop, so choices in eateries would be great. I wish we could have a collection of artisan shops like I saw a long long time ago in Seattle? Chicago? It was called Pier something. The Capital Iron building is a great place for my vision.plus there's a lot of space on the side of the building for a kids interactive play ground. Oh the things I could do!!!!!
Capital Iron was a go-to place for years for unusual things but also hardware that no one else carried, both general and marine. We bought BBQ's, patio furniture, pots and cushions and much more from the friendly helpful staff. Sad to see them closing down. 😢
We are sorry to see them closing their doors.
Doug and Will in the Outdoor Patio dept are both absolute gems, both me went out of their way to help us and we all had fun during our transactions. Thank you and good luck wherever you end up gentlemen, the business will be lucky to have you.
Store is great. The parking lot is huge. It has a few handicapped spaces which are hard to find in that area. They say you can park for free for an hour while in store shopping. I parked in a handicapped spot, I have handicapped parking, while their store was closed. I was gone for 2 hours and got a $59.00 ticketed. I get it, it's store property and customer parking and you want enough for your shoppers when you are open, but seriously, what harm is done by my parking there when you can't shop there and why would I get a ticket for doing so. Is business that bad, that you have to ticket handicapped vehicles when you aren't even open for business. I know I won't be shopping there ever again when it is open that's for sure.
Waste free soap refills, friendly staff, expansive location, clever items for every indoor room and outdoor space; and more and more and more.
There truly is no other place like Capital Iron.
Fun store to take people new to Victoria! They have a little of everything. It's a bit more expensive than other places tho.
They sell everything. Pretty good outdoor equipment offering
Great selection of all things you didn't even know you needed.One of those places you spend hours just looking around
I once spent 2 hours in here wandering around inside and outside. I left with a hook screw that I paid $0.95 for, and still felt fulfilled. Staff are friendly, and they have SO much stuff to look at.
very neat store lots of bolts selection, there is camping gear really just a bunch of everything. love the store its one of the best local stores ive been to! check this place out!
Capital Iron, my childhood!, my daughter's childhood!! Leave the car at home. Great location to shop, eat and photograph! (The basement is the FUNNEST antique/second hand store around!).
Large selection of varied goods and always worth a stroll through to see the different offerings
I have generally liked Capital Iron in the past. Nice kitchen section. However, this Christmas I purchased an LED flower tree when the Christmas items were on sale. The first one had a light die immediately (lights are not replaceable) so I took it back. The second one was broken when I took it out of the box, and also had a dead light. Exchanged it again. The third one was also broken and missing two flower pieces, but they gave me some spare flowers so I fixed it myself. However, two months in and now four lights are dead. I am passed the point of returning it so I have just wasted money. I am very disappointed that they would sell such a shoddy product and I will be wary of buying anything like this from them in the future.
A Victoria fixture. I miss the days of them actually selling "iron" :)
A bit of a strange assortment of items. Chances are if you haven't seen it in years or can't find it elsewhere Capitol Iron might still be selling it.
Good for BBQ's and kitchen gadgets. Outdoor dept. OK but can't quite compete with the other shops in the area. Bulk nut and bolt selection is comprehensive and well organized.
