Hardware store! The one and only Wist Lumber. This store has a special place in my heart. I found…read morethis business on yelp and drove to it even though it had a completely blank page because when I called to ask for whatever it was I needed that day, they were polite, warm and prompt. I have basically been back there every other day for the last two weeks for whatever our production needs have been rather than driving back into Binghamton or hitting Home Depot on my way back to the hotel. I spend at least $60 every time I walk through the door and would rather give that to a small business. Thanks Yelp!

Then asked it's a simple yes or no question, do you have this item? At that point the customer service person hung up on me. Have personally witnessed the manager berate and belittle the employees in front of a line of customers. Not once but twice to the point we all looked at each other very uncomfortably. I do not know who owns this store but it is definitely in need of better leadership and training of staff. When I need to go to Ace, this is not the place. I will go to Walton instead.

They've got just about everything you might need (except plants -- their garden area is pretty…read moredesperate). The people working there have crazy headsets to communicate with each other -- which feels way too corporate for the area. But once you engage with them they become real humans... super-nice and helpful -- with conversations about what's up and what they can do to help. I go here almost every weekend.

Definitely recommended!!!!!

Big box retail didn't kill Main Street. We killed Main Street. Nobody holds a gun to our head,…read morenobody forces us to the corporate gigantor stores on 28 with parking lots for days and traffic. We believe the everyday low prices mantra, we willingly sacrifice our soul to the machine. This is all on us. We own it. And in today's second generation of Main Street destruction we sit our unhealthy selves in the comfort of our overheated homes and with a few clicks of the mouse we have a cardboard package whisking it's way to us no mind the human interaction is gone and early onset diabetes gets closer with each substitution of small cardboard box for Main Street strolling we elect to make. But no worries. Soon healthcare will be provided us for free and one more choice that we previously got to make on our own will be gone. Good on us. Want to reclaim a bit of your independence? Want to add ten years to your life and a smile to your face? Go back to Main Street. I was in need of hardware to make a few improvements for mi madre and not being from these parts thought that the big boxes had killed a local hardware option and she said oh hell no we're going to Dubben Brothers they're good people. I was all no way San Jose Main Street is dead but bc Main Street was what mama wants and what mama wants is what all the offspring should recognize as their reason for getting out of bed in the morning off we went. Dubben Bros rocks. It's been there forever! It smells like old time hardware stores are supposed to smell and while it isn't ginormous it does have a ton of stuff. Maybe three varieties of the tool you seek instead of a million but do we really need a million brands to choose between no we do not. I'd suggest if you've recently moved to the area or been there awhile but not in this particular establishment that you drop by and look around to get a sense of what's in store. So to speak. One thing you'll find for sure is an old fashioned hospitality and genuine desire to be of assistance that's hard to find on 28. No disrespect intended those who work hard in those big corporate spaces but there a worker has to serve two masters - us AND the machine. And the priority isn't necessarily in that order.

I went in looking to buy out half of his outdoor flowers he had sitting outside of his store front and literally told me it is too cold out here to put them out in the front of my home. We live less than 2 miles of your store so how would the climate be so different? Secondly if it's so cold why do you have them outside of your store front? Very disappointed if he is in fact racist. I don't feel this way about other local businesses in Livingston Manor.
