This True Value store is one of the closest hardware stores to downtown. It's easy to get to off…read moreof Grand or 63rd, but turning around a trailer could be tough in this parking lot. The store is really clean, and there were actually employees walking around being helpful. What I like about these sized stores is that you can find your way around and things are geared more to homeowner type projects instead of contractors or renovations. You want to come here for those smaller projects, or if you need advice on something in your house. I wouldn't come here to buy yards of topsoil or huge piles of lumber. For us, it was in and out in 15 minutes to buy a hose, some seed and fertilizer. Prices were good (be sure to check out their house brand - it was cheaper than the big brands), and I found the selection to be good as well. Oh, and they rent tools if you need them - especially garden stuff (like sod cutters or rototillers)

Viking recommended I call local appliance repair people, even if they don't work on Viking. People in Prairie City, Pella, and Knoxville couldn't help me. But Ron Van Zante said he'd come look at it. He did, and figured out the problem and fixed it within a half hour. To top it off, he's a really nice guy! I will be calling him in the future!

(Don't let the name on the building confuse you, they are now affiliated with True Value but it is still locally owned and operated.) I've been here several times for pieces and parts for various projects, and they have had my parts on hand. They are conveniently located off the 169/92. They have ample parking with easy access. Their staff has been very helpful. On a recent visit, we were in for some items that we ran short of, and, of course they had enough for us to finish. BUT, more importantly, we had an unusual design that we wanted to implement. I wasn't too sure if the right pieces and parts existed to implement our design. Surprisingly their staff got the visual quickly and was helpful in thinking outside of the box for searching for a solution. This rarely happens in the big box stores! It was very refreshing to talk with a staff that actually has worked on projects. We'll be back!

I love our local True Value store! The employees here are the most helpful people you can find -…read morethey are always willing to lend a helping hand, answer questions, give advice and they never judge or treat me different because of my gender. Once I brought an empty tank for my grill down to get refilled. I stopped in the store first to pick up a couple of things and pay for the tank, but a worker had already spotted the tank in the back of my truck and filled it up for me before I even asked - now, that's service! They have a nice lumber yard and a small repair shop for tools. The greenhouse always has a nice supply of flowers and veggies and trees in the spring and summer seasons. There is also a plentiful supply of items that can be rented - from chairs/tents to tillers and other machinery.

They didn't give me my starter cord back waited two weeks after letting them know without a single call on what happened to it. Finally went to the store and told them that . N got a call from the mechanic saying. I'm no longer a priority which set me off. N went off. Owner got on the phone n made excuses for his employees n basically got trespassed over the phone . I was told to pick my cord but I'm not allowed in the store. Went off again n owner told me to shove my cord up my ass. So at the end of the day. Never support these types of businesses .
