This is the hardware store that every town used to have, until Home Depot and Walmart came in to town... I drove here to pickup some shelving accessories....wowzers, they stock nearly every type of fastener, grommet or accessory that you might need in your life. Wow! They have paint supplies, housewares, hardware, outdoor apparel, barbecue, gardening equipment and accessories, and they even are now carrying maple syrup start-up kits!!! The Staff is friendly and very informative. If you're looking for something for your house come to Rocky's Ace Hardware. I'm sure you won't be let down!

I watched an employee (older man with gray hair and beard) walk up to a customer in line and just…read moreabsolutely berate the poor guy for being in the "wrong line" and acted like the customer was stupid. The customer looked at me with disbelief and walked off. Then my turn was next. I had just purchased an item days earlier that was hundreds of dollars and didn't work right out of the box. I had my receipt with me. He would not exchange it or refund me. He said they had to ship my brand new item out for repair. I don't think I have ever seen such a rude and angry person allowed to deal with the public anywhere. I thought he was joking at first it was so bad.

I've been a customer at Cooks for at least 20 years, and always found the staff there friendly and…read morehelpful, especially for the occasional "odd" project that needed a little thought to plan creatively. One can't get that attention at a big box store, even if the aisles are wide. That said, there are better stores for some items, but knowing where to shop for what is a customer's responsibility. I really like the convenience, friendly staff and good quality of merchandise at Cooks, and highly recommend them - no reservations at all if you plan your shopping intelligently.

When possible, I try to give my business to local stores, and Petro's fine service encourages me to continue doing so. (Unlike a previous reviewer, I do not expect extra perks and discounts, and I understand that product delivery is an expensive service for a company to offer. One must consider the cost of the delivery vehicle, the loader and driver's time, and the cost of gas. Indeed, I tip the driver if fine service is provided, and I encourage other customers to do the same.)
