I'm sorry, but I can't agree with the previous positive comment. It may have been, at one time, the cool, old-time hardware store I'd hoped it would be, but that was many, many years ago. In fact, it was quite dark inside and very dirty. The shelves and racks were almost all bare. The sole employee had no people skills, usually giving one-word responses. He obviously did not care about me (his only customer) as he was not wearing a mask, saying that he didn't believe in them. I won't be back. To me, it is worth it to travel 20-25 minutes up the road to Ace, Lowe's or Home Depot.

For a long time I supported this place and strongly advocated against shopping at Ace hardware…read more Keep things local at a hardware store that is part of the community. Unfortunately, one smug employee ruined that experience for me, and I'll now be switching my allegiance to Ace. I purchased a small $6 shower accessory. Unfortunately I lost the receipt. The accessory was not what I needed, and I attempted to return it. The employee stated I cannot return without a receipt, even for a store credit (I was going to purchase products worth more than the value of what I was returning). I was disappointed at this response, but I shopped for what I needed anyway. I went to the front, and the employee was helping another customer in an aisle. After helping that customer, she proceeded to another customer in the aisle. Now, I understand one person having to triage, but at that point a simple acknowledgement of me would have been nice. It felt intentional, and it seemed as if the employee was taking satisfaction, acting somewhat smug as she told me she won't accept a return without a receipt. Not sure if this is just one rude employee, or the owner is really this strict about returns on $6 items that are clearly unused, but either way, I seriously doubt I'll be doing business here any more. If you had or have a similar experience, I also encourage you to drop these clowns. (Incidentally, when I purchased the item I would eventually return, I was not asked for my phone number (which they generally use to text receipts, as I'm part of their "customer club" or whatever. So there is actually another mess-up by a different employee that could have accommodated the companies own draconian return policy.) In short, I go to a neighborhood spot like this for the service. And when I'm treated this way, it defeats the purpose of avoiding much more convenient and likely cheaper options like Ace or Amazon. You are not really selling hardware - you should be trying to offer a superior customer experience--remember that and you will not lose customers like this

Do NOT let them mix paint for you. I needed a quart of Benjamin Moore paint for a small repair and…read morebrought in the old paint can with the mixing codes. When I applied the paint to the wall, instead of being China White, a standard color, it showed up as being very yellow. I went back to the store and was told that because they had to mix the base to create the standard correct color, they would have to charge me again. Bottom line, I went to another Benjamin Moore paint shop and they mixed the paint perfectly. Poorly maintained or dirty equipment might have been the cause. Howard

The manager came out and stopped me as I was getting into my vehicle, just to make sure that I realized that I had purchased a "deep base" paint, (which would have been completely wrong for this project). It was really nice of him to catch that, because I never noticed. Then he took me back in the store, and made the exchange, even covering the cost of the difference (the correct paint was a couple dollars more). You just don't see that these days. Somebody taking the time to pay that much attention, where I was negligent, bring it to my attention, and then actually take less money - to make the exchange quicker and more convenient for me. It's hard for me to remember not to just run to the "big orange" store every time I need something in the shop, or around the house. But this is just a little reminder, that there is a much better option.
