I bought an Echo pole saw over the phone from Killian's and have nothing but great things to say…read moreabout my experience, both from the initial phone purchase and the pickup of the saw this weekend. Jordan was extremely helpful over the phone - I am an hour away- as were the other people I spoke with. The same is true of when I picked up the saw yesterday (two weeks after buying over the phone). Brandon, Jordan, Ashley, and Sharon could not have been nicer nor more professional. I hate that the store is not closer to me, because they would be my go-to for anything related to lawn equipment!

Professional, knowledgeable and a cool place to shop. Lots of history! Family business continues.read more

On the way one can tipped forward and the lid popped out and the entire gallon ran all over the car. I returned to Lowe's and they had just closed the Manager Angel came out and stated' the other 4 cans have the lid in place so obviously my employee tightened it how do I know you did not manipulate the lid. There is nothing I am going to do for you. ' Not even a paper towel was given to me. And I am a handicapped senior it's pretty ingenious to manipulate a lid past third row of seats while driving. I called corporate office and was told the stores individually handle complaints. I spend 2 hours struggling to clean the vehicle and it's still not clean. I also lost 53$ gallon of paint and was insulted by a manager that obviously requires customer service training.

I have been looking to get a new smoker and when I go to the big box stores I asked questions and only heard things like this isn't my department or that's a good question I will have to look into it.

I will always help out a small local business and this one is a gem.

She asked if I needed help with anything. I told her I was interested in looking at the mowers. She showed me where they were and answered my questions all while helping 2 other customers.

Thank you both. Skeet Lincolnton NC

We bought a Stihl MS 331 gas chain saw because we had 14 trees that fell during Hurricane Helene…read more We took it home, and it would not start. My husband has used chain saws for over 40 years and knows how they operate. We brought it back to Northern Tool, the manager (Shannan) said that their mechanic was on vacation, so she took the chain saw to a back room and tried to start it and was unable to. She came back and said that my husband must have flooded it. My husband said that we would just exchange it for another saw. She said that we could not do that. My husband said that we would just return it for a refund. She said that there was a $70.00 restocking fee! We never even used the saw! It was brand new! She was adamant about the fee and charged it. My husband asked for the name of customer service so he could lodge a complaint. When he called customer service, he was told to call Derek Kurtz, who is the district manager. He called Mr. Kurtz, and was told that they have had a lot of problems with the Stihl MS 331 chain saw, but usually after the customer brings it back to their mechanic three or four times, it will work! This is utterly ridiculous! We then went to Lowes Home Improvement and bought a Husqvarna chain saw and it started right up and works just fine.

We saw one chair we liked. It would fit our needs, was the acceptable color, material and size...a la my wife's seeking standards. Did we buy it? Of course not. Hickory is loaded with furniture outlets, so off we went a exploring. A couple of more locations and them the big kaboom: the Hickory Furniture Mart. Another review coming on this enormous, four level block-filling edifice containing just about any manufacturer and style of furniture one could imagine. We did not find anything that was better than the one at The Hickory Tree, so after some coffee and lunch at the Olde Hickory Station (see that review), we returned to the Hickory Tree. Since this was a consignment store, all items had a sales price tag with the prices listed over time. What I mean is that a price of $175 was scheduled to cost $150 on the first of the next month, then it would cost $135 the next month, and so on. This being the middle of the month, and not wanting to risk the desire chair being sold while we waited, we bought it...right then. They accepted credit cards. With the help of a young man we loaded this chair into our SUV and were off for home. An excellent, but exhausting furniture shopping experience that I survived. Before you blow your mind out looking for furniture all over, start here at the Hickory Tree. Prices reasonable and mark-downs abound. And nice people.
