When they first set up in the parking lot, 10 or so years ago, I frequented the place, because it was close, and their prices were comparable to everyone else's. They used to have a $5 rack of of plants that looked close to death, and I'd buy them all up. Then the rack turned to $10, and I have yet to see any rack this year.
I stopped in a few weeks, it was drizzling, and walking up to the entrance someone started yelling at me 'Hey, Hey, you, Hey, over here!' I look over and this guy is in his car smoking telling me "I'm over here when you need to check out".
1. Not at all friendly.
2. Did he mean I should come to his car to check out?
3. Not very customer friendly.
I asked if had any specials (it's the end of June), he said all hanging baskets are $14.99/ea, and everything else is priced regular. I want to give a neighborhood small business owner $, so I told him I just came from Gardens & Beyond on Ryan (former Eckerts) and their baskets are regular $14.99/ea, or $12.99/ea if you buy 3 or more), then you get an additional 50% off, thinking maybe he would match them, and all he said was "Good for them". He obviously didn't want my $.
His attitude, the fact that he smokes while working, and his prices, I won't be frequenting this place any longer.
Do yourself a favor and go check out Gardens & Beyond on Ryan, you'll thank me. read more
