This was my first visit to any Pleasant's Hardware branded store. I've been to Ace before. My…read morefirst time to this location. I live about a 1 hour round trip. Came there specifically to have a key duplicated. No one at the desk. No problem, I'll wait. Employee walks by and sees me standing there and was going to keep walking so I decided to ask her if she can help me. Immediately, not a great attitude. Did not catch her name but pretty sure her name tag had "manager" on it. She had that way of talking that just signals they are irritated to be helping you. So she doesn't have the needed blank (which I understand) and decides to try to make a "custom" key for me, which I appreciate. She hands it to me and says she thinks it will work but it's custom made. Ok, I get it. This is where my annoyance increases. I said I'd like a total of three duplicate keys. She refused to make the other two. She said there's no point in making them if I'm not sure if they are going to work. Sure there is....I live an hour away, I tell her, so I'd like to get the keys now. Nope, she refused again. So if the keys work, I'm all set. If they don't work, I'm out $6 to $8. Under her way, if the keys work, I am supposed to make another 1 hour round trip to have 2 more made? Why not just make them? She apologized for how far I lived away and said....there's no point in making them if I'm not sure they are going to work. I'm a bit stunned at this outright refusal to sell the customer what they are asking for. I guess the customer is not always right at this store. It was clear she just didn't want to spend 5 more minutes making two more keys. It was quite annoying. I do not plan to return to this store.

After the multiple times I've been in, I can't help but feel that the workers are uppity and rude (for a lack of better words). I was hopeful this was an isolated incident and recognize we're human after all, but after my last stop in, waiting in line to check out while the cashier spoke poorly of other employees to her coworker, waves me up minutes later without a hello, how are you, and didn't even respond when I asked how SHE was... I decided this spot is just not worth it solely due to this type of energy being a repetitive, widespread occurrence each time I'm in.

Meander down the road to an open field full of trees, bushes, shrubs, grasses. plants and flowers. They also carry soil, gravel, mulch and other landscaping needs. Their greenhouse was full of annuals, perennials, veggies and herbs. The property was spacious and we spent a lot of thyme walking down the aisles. The black plastic walkways they laid down weren't very neat... it was muddy and we got pretty dirty; they may be able to come up with cleaner walkways with rock or gravel which would be aesthetically pleasing too. The selection, however, was extensive. Andy, one of the owners, took time to walk around with us and gave us info on the plants we looked at and also shared planting tips. Very helpful and sage information. He knows his stuff! We ended up purchasing a pussy willow, lavender plants, a dwarf butterfly bush, Lantana, cat mint, phlox, varieties of potato vine, impatiens, chives, and rosemary. Quite a haul! Check out was easy, Shelly, Andy's wife, was friendly and sweet. We had a nice chat and enjoyed getting to know the owners. Andy gave a more pointers and a bag of hay for our plants. Kaled us with kindness! I'd like to see them expand with potting mix, soil, etc. and maybe some gardening tools and accessories. Here, some of the prices were a smidge higher than let's say, those big box hardware/garden stores, but the plants looks healthier. We had a blast planting when we got home and our garden looked gorgeous with the additions from the nursery. We would definitely visit again, we like supporting smaller, family owned, local business rather than those great big greenhouses that overwhelm you! Finding this place was mint to be!
