  • This store has the most amazing employees and an unmatched customer service ethic. Always approached by an employee asking to help. If I want to browse, I’m left to my own devices. If I need something, I’m treated to a concierge shopping experience!

  • A true down-home local hardware store. Great service. Also a great shop for housewares. (How convenient is it that the wife gets to shop for the house while I get to buy tools!)
