For over 125 years, Kraus Department Store at 810 Parade Street has been selling goods to Erie residents with the exemplary customer service they are known for. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership, Kraus Department Store provides a wide range of hardware and home improvement supplies, as well as services such as screen repairs and custom lamp building.

“We're Erie's hidden treasure,” says co-owner Joe Nowosielski. “Our customer service and expertise are what everyone loves. When you buy something, you'll know how to use it when you leave. And if we don't have something, you don't need it.”For over 125 years, Kraus Department Store at 810 Parade Street has been selling goods to Erie residents with the exemplary customer service they are known for.
