BLAIN&#x27;S FARM &amp; FLEET - Holland, MI

Good hardware store with a variety of options. We were recommended to buy a small barbecue grill…read moreand we quickly got what we needed. The store is retiring soon and looks like almost a lot of products are half the price.

This review is about the Ace Hardware that replaced Van Wieren's…read moreBoy, am I going to miss Van Wieren's. The staff was kind and generally knowledgeable. Ace Hardware is not the same at all. Although the man running the cash register was adorable, the people at the inappropriately named "help hub" were not only entirely unhelpful, they were also quite disagreeable - borderline rude - they responded to my friendly greeting with hostile stares, and it was downhill from there.

We were looking to support a small local business vs big box, for our purchase of an edger. We didn't make it one foot in the store, when we were rudely told we still needed to wear a mask, despite most places (including Menards) not requiring them for vaccinated people. We asked if they had any, since we did not; we put them on and walked the store. After discovering they did not have what we needed, we left. While leaving, an older man who was working began shaking his head to the other employees about us and discussing how we thought we did need masks. * rude staff * empty store * unkept * still requires masks That's a big no. It's obvious why this store was dead

Pots, pans, serving ware, pretty dishes, cookie cutters, gadgets, etc. They've also got a nice selection of dips, spreads, jams, and mixes for baked goods, soups, sauces, etc. We stopped in this past weekend after a few years away and I was happy to see they've now added a small cooler section in the back with some great picnic items and snacks like cheeses, spreads, charcuterie, even miniature butter packets--perfect for a nice little baguette when you're visiting and don't want to commit to an entire package of butter just to have a nice snack on the beach! Things are a little pricier here but it's a boutique store in a vacation town so it's to be expected. But their offerings are good quality so there isn't a ton of sticker shock! Highly recommend coming through to browse and grab some snacks!

They did want to fix any of the issues. We had to twist their arm just to drop the price three hundred bucks. When there repairs to make things right of $860.95. They acted like we were trying to rob them. We bought the Escape they did not even fill the gas tank with gas. I drove Escape just a mile down the road and the gas light came on after telling there was gas in the car. Two weeks later before I had an appointment to fix all the issues the Ford Escape would not move by stop sign. I had all I could do to get it gear to move the car to a parking lot. I got towed to the mechanic and got bad news the transmission is burned out. It will cost anywhere from three thousand to four thousand to fix the transmission. Tried reach to them if they could work something out. Chip said read the paperwork you sign. It sold as is. You bought it you own it. I can't believe these great reviews this can't be the same guy. He must of paid the people to give him such great reviews. I would not buy a pig from this guy.

Very disappointed and needless to say would not recommend these poor business practices to anyone else. Sad that your "manager" is so cutthroat that he sells product right from under other sales people. What happened today was wrong and rude to more than one person. You have lost at least one customer and possibly more. This is one recommendation/ review that will not be favorable.

At one point I made the comment that we really treasured our mini-van: "With little kids I can't imagine living without our mini-van." The guy from Grand Buick said "I had kids - and we did just fine without a mini-van." Ok - so I guess I'm an idiot now. The people there - while efficient - were ornery. I don't think they really gave a crap about my vehicle problems - all they cared about was getting their check from the insurance company.
