And without the impersonal nature of somewhere like Home Depor or Lowes. They have fewer items due to its smaller size but they're always incredibly helpful in finding you the right product if they don't have it in store. And I'd like to support locally operated stores rather than national chains. The only con would be that they feel slightly understaffed right now but who isn't? They like to focus on their time with each customer. Truly I cannot recommend this business enough from the management to the staff.

I assumed 30 day returns were the norm, but apparently I was wrong. For Lowe's it's 48 hours. We loaded it back into my truck to return it. Lowe's refused to do anything. First they were rude to my wife. (Who's a sweet and respectful person). Then I went in myself because the lady just railroaded her with no options. The "customer service" staff consisted of being told they would do nothing, followed by confrontational, and then told to "Settle down" as though I had zero reason to be upset after a DOA dryer after less than 2 weeks. It was further escalated when the other "customer service" employee openly laughed and mocked me. Manager came up and was willing to work with me WHILE the "customer service" lady was mean mugging me behind him and the other one was laughing. I got my money back but I won't be coming back. Simply unbelievable rudeness. It was bad enough to basically get no help....but it was escalated by the open hostility, laughing and gaslighting.

I recalled feeling a dip in one part of my carpet, so we cut a little hole and sure enough, there was the drain. John got to work, chiseling away at the concrete that was around the plug, and got it to open up. Then he had me flush all my toilets, and run my shower to make sure everything looked okay. He was very knowledgeable and very open to helping me in case something like this were to happen again and what to look for. John and his wife were the absolute sweetest and I would use them again and again. Thank you for coming by John! Really appreciate your help and wisdom!

It is confusing, it doesn't matter if they will leave their normal hours as is. I spoke to one of the employees and according to him A LOT of stores disagree with this changed. But the higher ups does not care about their employees. Besides, they do not get paid that much. For a non-profit company they should pay their employees more. They really don't much in the community besides finding jobs. Other Goodwills around the US do more, or Salvation Army does more to the community than Goodwill. And what is up with this thing NEW GOODS? Prices are so ridiculous for cheap looking stuff.
