The Ol' Pickaxe is a hardware store located in Possum Springs. It is currently owned by Mr. Santello, and is where Mae can find a working Bea, to potentially hang out with throughout Night in the Woods.
Appearance[]
The Ol' Pickaxe is a red brick building housed in Town Centre. It has a large glass window with the words 'Ol Pickaxe' placed in the middle, and an Hours sign just below it. During Harfest, there is a 'Harvest Sale!' just above it, alongside Harfest decorations. The front door has a sign that says "yes... we are OPEN", whenever the store is open.
The brick building used to house a store named 'Kremman's Market House'.
Background[]
The Ol' Pickaxe is a hardware store housing purchasable tools and hardware equipment. It was once opened and ran by a man named Roy Burge, opened on an undisclosed Saturday. Mae and Bea can find this information during the investigation portion of the game, at the Possum Springs Library.
Although Mr. Santello is the current owner of the Ol' Pickaxe, his daughter Bea Santello all but runs the store itself, effectively becoming the store manager after her father's breakdown. From what Bea has stated, the potential closure of the store is a constant worry, struggling to make funds each and every month.
During Harfest, the store hosts the annual harfest play, a (mostly) fictitious play about the founding of Possum Springs.
