Just wanted to double-down on my previous review. Really fantastic people in the garden store! Not…read morejust do they stock a great variety of plants and trees of all kinds, but they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. For instance, we have been enduring some really terrible frost. They guided us through buying the frost blankets needed to fend off the frost, and as a result saved our beautiful new peach tree (which we bought from these guys last year). A first-class store staffed by top-notch people!

You can get ANYTHING you need here. Are the plants sometimes cheaper elsewhere...YES but the lawn…read moreornaments, pots wind chimes, bird feeders and everything else are like nothing you've ever seen. The owner and his staff go out of the way to buy the most unusual items. If I need a birthday gift for someone, I come here. I purchased a hand blown glass bird feeder for a friend. The price was not outrageous, as I am cheap, and my girlfriend LOVED it. If you need birdseed, at 69 cents a pound, buying it loose, you can't beat this place either. Of course they have the usual items, but you can even haggle a little sometimes and get a REAL bargain. Last year I got a beautiful bush for 1/3 off, just by asking if they had ANY specials at the end of the year. The woman in the gardening department actually said, I could let this one go a little cheaper as long as I know it is going to a good home. She feels about her plants the way I do! And lastly, in the country, you have to deal with mice. It is a necessary evil of the joy of the mountains. I was directed to a device that kills the mice by one of the ladies inside. They're mice, so killing them is fine with me as long as I don't see their feces on my counter top and in my food anymore. She even knew what she was talking about with that. In one week, my mouse problem has been solved. I was able to catch one mouse a day, and now I live rodent free. Thanks AGWAY for knowing your stuff!!!!

Hardware store! The one and only Wist Lumber. This store has a special place in my heart. I found…read morethis business on yelp and drove to it even though it had a completely blank page because when I called to ask for whatever it was I needed that day, they were polite, warm and prompt. I have basically been back there every other day for the last two weeks for whatever our production needs have been rather than driving back into Binghamton or hitting Home Depot on my way back to the hotel. I spend at least $60 every time I walk through the door and would rather give that to a small business. Thanks Yelp!

Then asked it's a simple yes or no question, do you have this item? At that point the customer service person hung up on me. Have personally witnessed the manager berate and belittle the employees in front of a line of customers. Not once but twice to the point we all looked at each other very uncomfortably. I do not know who owns this store but it is definitely in need of better leadership and training of staff. When I need to go to Ace, this is not the place. I will go to Walton instead.
