Great people who know every item in this store and are happy to help you find some odd sized chrome screw or a paint for vinyl. They not only can find it, they have it to find. This 5 minute drive saves the big drive to the nearest box store. More than once the box store did not have what I needed and the store worker says I should try the 'other' hardware store. And they were right. Now I start here and save myself time, money and frustration. You would ot think that you could get excited about a hardware store but when in need this is a great resource in the neighborhood!

I found their COVID/Mask policy to be just fine at the height of the pandemic and never once felt anyone was too close or posed any type of threat to my health. I will continue to visit this establishment for my hardware needs.

Recently I had a similar experience at Wilds True Value. Upon entering the store a young female…read morecashier, not wearing a mask informed me (as I was securing my mask) that it isn't needed at this store. I replied, "well I do". A few minutes later another female employee approached me with an offer of assistance however she too was NOT wearing a mask, nor practiced social distancing. The staffs lax attitude towards the safety of my health and many other mask wearing customers is sufficient reason for me to drive by this establishment and give my business to the big box store further east on M55. I have always tried to support small businesses, however there is a limit to my willingness as I am practicing safe measures to avoid becoming ill during the pandemic.

I was in the Mancelona True Value for a replacement bulb for a light fixture. They had just sold the last one in stock.

Here's why we shop at McLean's: 1. OUTSTANDING customer service with people who know where things are, and KNOW how to get things done! I have asked so many questions, received so much good advice, and I am certain that our home wouldn't be as far along as it is today without the help of the men and women who work in this store. Joe, Gary, Nancy, Cathy, Terri, Kip, Jeremy, Jessica, Alyssa, Celina...the list goes on and on. They've even helped me find solutions, multiple times, that didn't require me spending a penny in store! 2. UNBELIEVABLE selection of products. They probably carry what you're looking for, and if not, they'll tell you where you can get it. (More than once I've been told to head to another store to get a product they didn't stock...who does that??). Whether it's lumber, hardware, tools, or some miscellaneous bolt that you need to prevent a barn door from sliding off its rails (for real!), they have it. 3. LOCAL employees, local owners, and this is a company that invests in the community. They hire a lot of teenagers and work with their school and sports schedules like few other companies do. One of our kids worked for them and we couldn't believe how well they paid her, and how graciously they worked with her athletic and academic schedules. Locally owned matters. 4. COMPETITIVE pricing to go with their significant inventory. Sure, you can occasionally save money on certain products by hitting up the big box stores, but not having to drive 35 minutes (each way), or not having to try and find someone to help answer your questions (seriously...McLean's staff are plentiful and their experience is unmatched!) is worth a few extra dollars. 5. FREE popcorn. yeah, if you were on the fence before you now have a reason to make this store your go-to for hardware and lumber. You can't be sad and eat popcorn at the same time. So if you like locally owned hardware stores that have outstanding customer service, great inventory, competitive prices, and free popcorn...McLean's is the place for you!

I returned in the afternoon, when I walked in I was given a dirty look by Jim and asked were I buy my paint. Insinuating he didn't want to help me because I don't buy paint there or spend enough money there. After an argument he reluctantly helped me. I tried to smooth things over and explain to him that we do buy items from the store just not paint and that we even have an account set up there. Jim's response was well use it then and not in a nice way. I don't go in there daily but I go in there enough to know that his name is Jim and the owners name is Bob. Obviously we will never use this hardware store again in the future.

This one is still in Roscommon county but is on the way to Higgins lake. By far the BEST against the others I mentioned. Not only are the hardware and home improvement sections larger but there's also a great selection of gardening, camping, fishing and beach equipment! So literally the selection caters to all Higgins lake and KOA visitors in the area! Don't pass this place by for a last minute purchase this summer they have it all with a good price and fantastic service!
