We're lucky to have this store in Grand Coulee! There are so many items that we would have to…read moretravel at least 50 miles from here to purchase. I've bought birthday gifts for my grandkids, sewing and craft supplies, office supplies, pool toys and kitchen goods all within the last month. If you need something, they'll find it for you. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for both locals and visitors without this business.

i wish i could give negative stars as i'd go negative 100 if i could. So, last Saturday both my…read moredaughters (38 and 32) were out here visiting us, with us were our grandsons, my oldest daughter's fiance and a childhood friend (like an uncle to our grandsons) of my youngest daughter. They all wanted to go to grand coulee (we live outside of city limits) to hit safeway, the variety store and the coffee shop. While they were in the variety store my **14** year old grandson (clearly a minor) wanted to pick something up for his 5 year old brother who was at home with my husband and i. Before i go further i want to mention that we're all mixed race here, my girls are half white (from my muttish white side) and half Mexican (my husband is 100% Mexican but you would not know it, my youngest daughter and this grandson have darker skin as well as one of the uncles). I only mention race/skin color because this becomes important later. So they're all kind of split up in the variety store my youngest was taking the train home to North Dakota and wanted some stuff for her crafting (she uses embroidery threads and string etc). It's a fun store to visit and look at things, get souvenir's etc. and that's what they were ALL doing. So my grandson picks up a toy looking at it to see if it was suitable for his brother and the lady there goes up to him and asks him if he's going to buy that? He's 14 he's not exactly sure what to think and says I'm not sure... she says "you need to leave the store right now!" and other nastiness, again he's 14 he has no way to let his aunt or Mom know that he has to leave the store he's a super sweet kid so he's fighting tears at this point... thankfully my oldest daughter had heard the commotion and saw that this involved her nephew...she immediately goes over and asks the woman why she's talking to her nephew like that, then of course his Mom is now cued in as well as both uncles ... so the lady says "you ALL need to leave the store!" Now keep in mind between all of them they had more than 100 dollars in merchandise ready to be purchased. But they do, they leave without purchasing, they're in the Safeway parking lot and apparently another patron came out to apologize to them, she told them (my daughters, etc) she'd said something to the lady in the variety store how uncalled for all that was and the lady quipped back to her "you're white, what do you care?". I was shocked to hear all this, we'd be going there for the last 20 years and frequently for the last 8 (and i know it changed hands in 2017). I'd even ignored some of the political stuff they had but given the way it leans i should have known better. I felt so bad for my grandson.. To be racially targeted in this way. I am just appalled. (FYI Both owners were there and present so clearly this is condoned). My husband did go in to confront them the following monday.. Their response was more bs... with stuff like "i don't see color" and tried to justify it with a whole mess of bs until he mentioned the other patron was a witness, to which she clammed up (proof this all happened exactly as it's written here). I will NEVER step foot in their store again. Ever. I don't recommend anyone else does either unless you want to associate with blatantly racist people.

Sometimes even the most prepared campers forget something!…read more Location: you're camping at Sun Lakes, Coulee City, or somewhere in the Grand Coulee or Ephrata area. Situation: popped bike tire and no more patches on-hand. Solution: drop-in the Coulee City Builder's Supply in Coulee City, WA. This place is a catch-all for the things you might have needed at camp but forgot. Examples: shotgun ammo, garbage bags, BB guns, camping or fishing supplies, an ax, or in my case, spare bicycle inner tubes. Plus, as their name implies, they also sell building supplies too. I rated this place high because staff was friendly and they'd stocked what I needed. They're the only place in the area (that I'm aware of) with their offerings, but even so, the prices were not too far out of whack with a Fred Meyer price, for example. Keep in mind though, this is like the "last chance" gas station of hardware stores and you won't find an array of merchandise or shelves stocked with quantities of 100 like a home improvement warehouse store would. The guy on the register (actually, sole employee on duty) was helpful and good-humored. He recommends the diner next door to the hardware store for a good meal in Coolee City, if you're in town long.
