As an…read moreavid gardener and do-it-yourselfer, I have so far been very pleased with their products and services. 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.)

They responded loudly, saying no, loud enough for the store to hear that they would have to call hazmat if I missed and that one person ruined it for everyone. Overall staff was very unfriendly 10 out of 10 would not return to the store again.

Oh, PFU of L/A, how I miss thee!…read more I know that there are Paris Farmers Union across the entire state. There's one nearby to where I live currently, but my favorite of all the locations is the Lewiston one. When it was initially located in Auburn, I used to go there all the time to get rabbit food. Having never had a bunny before, I assumed the best place to get him food would be PFU since they consider themselves my "home, farm, and garden center." And where do bunnies like to hang out? In gardens! And farms! And homes (though I don't think it's their preferred locale of the three options)! When I went the first time to get some rabbit chow they asked me how much I wanted. They offered to bag up twenty-five pounds for just around $8 or $9, and thinking that sounded extremely reasonable, I agreed. It took me months and months (and months and months) to finally run out. Seriously, it's the best pet food deal around (as is their bird seed prices)! I also find there plants to be extremely well maintained and healthy. When I first got into gardening, PFU is where I got all of my veggie starters. I also spent some serious time contemplating apple trees once and had some really excellent conversations with the extremely knowledgeable employees about arboriculture. If you have questions... ask. They'll steer you in the right direction, I promise! When places like this exist, there's absolutely no reason or need to ever patron big box chains. Paris Farmers Union offers everything they do, but with a personal touch. And sometimes a farm cat wandering in and out, too!

I only ever go to Aubuchon when I need something right away. I typically like to support local, but…read moreI find their prices to be a bit high and they don't have the best selection. There are a few employees there that have been kind and helpful to me in the past (like the gentleman who helped me last night!) but more than once I've been made to feel like a bother when asking questions. It's very conveniently located in town so I do stop there sometimes, but I certainly wouldn't go there to stock up on everything I'd need for a big project.

We are always greeted with kindness, and the staff is consistently helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to point us in the right direction. A special thank you to Peter, who helped us with several doors -- including our front door -- which we really, really appreciated. His guidance made a big difference for us during this project. No matter what department we're in, someone is always ready to help, which has made the entire process much smoother. We truly appreciate the team at this location for all their support. Once our project is complete, make sure to come see us at Morning Moose -- you'll get to see all of your products installed throughout the store! Love the prices as well! Really great prices all around!

They usually have a great selection if discount items when you first walk in to the right. It's usually my go-to area for gifts. I have not experienced the same issues with customer service some other Yelper's have raised concerns about. All my interactions have been good and very polite. Their paint area though seems like its run by robots because they speak in a monotone voice and they are short with their questions and answers. I don't got offended by it so long as I get in and get out in a timely manner. Their paint section is usually the busiest amongst the other Lowes I have visited.
