    I'm looking for a battery CR 2025-9v?

    Thank you for your inquiry. We do carry CR 2025 batteries in our stores but a CR 2025 battery is not 9v it is only 3v.

    Do you fill propane tanks or is it an exchange?

    Hi Gigi, great question. We actually do both.

Now the bad news this last go around I spent $ 1,200.00 on some major repairs on one of my homes. They are big on just buy this or that bring it back if you don't need it. Anyways I had 3-4 things to bring back. Turned into a big hassle and I had purchased them over a week while I was up there. They gave me cash on two smaller items. Would not give me back on two items cash said the register will only process them as gift cards " what the heck " I have major brain surgery during which I had a stroke. I over the years Lost more cards than I have used. They could not explain it to me on common sense level only that once the register does that they can't reverse it. I was not happy I mean we are talking about $ 76.00. They said they would go get the manager and of course the manager was busy. They need to tell people oh just bring it back for a refund oh by the way it might be in the form of a gift card which when the person loses it to bad. I am stopping down the hill the next week at Home Depot first such a shame I can't buy and support crestline businesses. The tab probably will be around $ 500.00 this next time. Shame shame shame :(

    This store is a godsend for supplies. My issue regards a female clerk (early 40's, blue eyes,…read morestraight black dyed? hair) that has a crappy attitude and gossips sarcastically with her coworkers about me or something I might have needed. She commented in *front of me* to her coworker about me needing "too much" change when I asked for it. Another time, she complained to her coworker about me saying 'thank you' too soon while she asked about making a donation during payment, again right in front of me. She also seems disgruntled when I ask where an item is. She is unpleasant all around to deal with and makes me dread having to get something here.

A very nice store clerk steered me in the right direction. What a great selection I found. Not just the part I wanted, but so much more. I went back yesterday hoping to find a stem extension that I could not find anywhere on the internet. I approached a clerk and asked, and he took me right to it. I explained that the replacement kit I purchased on line did not fit quite the same as the one I am replacing. He told me of its compatibility with another more "readily available" line of faucets. He seemed to know a lot about plumbing. It turns out he is the owner. He and everyone I have dealt with there are very approachable, helpful, and knowledgeable. This is now my go to store for all my DIY projects. Their selection is remarkable and the staff just seem to enjoy their job. It is 20 miles from home, but it is exactly what needs to be. In a time of online ordering and tracking numbers, it is great to go to a place with fair prices, great selection, and impeccable service!!

Employees don't feel "corporately trained"... in a good way. Surprising how much they fit into a relatively small space! I took a lot of pics for reference or I'd be here all day describing the variety. Favorite unique offerings include: - Bins of loose nails and screws that are so visually satisfying to look at! - Ability to make new car keys. - Old timey lanterns with oil and everything next to jam jars and such for canning. - Local sketch art on the walls as decor. - A vintage (in a not-on-purpose way) 7Up vending machine.

We're very used to running down to the local big box store to get what we need. I always try to make a list before coming up. Was working on a project and needed some unexpected items. Went over to the True value butcher block. Wow am I glad I did. This place has a little of everything. Every possible tool, Gidget, and things you didn't even know you needed and they have. I was thoroughly impressed. My confidence level of doing projects now has greatly increased because I know just 10 minutes away is this outstanding hardware store. The people working there were friendly. I didn't have any questions so I didn't have the opportunity to see how helpful they are. They have a great selection of every possible thing you might be working on in your home. I went for a quick trip and was there for almost an hour because I was looking in familiarizing myself with all the amazing things that they had. If you live in the area, I need something to finish a project rest assure this place will have it. It also made me feel great to know I was supporting local businesses. I will be doing more of that and less of my purchases at the big box store before I come up.

This place close to the parks. It's located in an outdoor shopping street with pretty hanging flower baskets displayed among unique stores for shopping. Parking is mostly on the street - free - and the atmosphere is friendly. My friend had tea and I had latte while we waited for our breakfast order. Prices were okay. The food - delicious! Prepared right where you can see from your wooden polished tables. Unique games, card decks, and puzzles are available as well as books while you are there. It was fun to put together a small puzzle with my friend. I had an omelette type dish with avocado, tomatoes, cheese. Very yummy served with toast. My friend had a breakfast sandwich.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I do not undertsand the 5 star reviews of this place. First, the straws are in a communal bucket unwrapped which is gross for any restaurant. We paid $43 dollars for two breakfast sandwhiches, a lemonade, and a coffee. I understand Big Bear is a mountain town and food is expensive which I am completely okay with. What I am not okay with is everything being store bought and resold at a higher price. The bagel and croissant were both store bought and terrible. It was also served on a paper plate, which I think is insane for a restaurant with that price. Other places with higher price points arent serving their food on paper plates why does the owner believe its cool for them to? We had not a single interaction with another human when we were here. Ordered at a kiosk, the people who made the drinks left them on the bar, said our name, and walked away, the guy cooking the food did the same. I am fine with the $43 dollar price point but with all of this combined, it is insane how this business stays open. The owner stated that I should have ask to speak to the manager which I would have .....IF THERE WAS ANYONE IN THE RESTAURANT TO TALK TO.
