So I ran all the way out to Wanamaker to goto the Ordinary (of course), but I saw this little shop…read moreand thought I'd pop in. I was looking for Scott's seed and to my amazement I was informed that they have seed formulated for our area. Wait ... what? 1st: I've never heard of such. 2nd: Where have you been all of my life (well atleast my adult homeowner life)? I explained to the young lady what my issue was in my yard and purchased the seed she recommended and a bale of hay. The young lady was extremely nice and explained the different variations to me as well prior to purchase. Value: well $3.99/lb was a bit pricey when I can get a 10 pound bag of Scott's for $11.99 at Ace Hardware. I am keeping in mind several things: This is a Mom & Pop shop (support of locally owned businesses), the seeds by Scott's are mass produced (made for any and all areas) and lastly this seed is "supposed" to produced for Indiana (that's got to be good, right). So with all of that being stated of course I'm taking the plunge and if it works I'll definitely be back. I'm really excited about it and hoping to see those bare spots in my yard fill in. Fingers crossed.

I didn't know it was there previously. Ace Hardware used to be my favorite store but RK has replaced them, primarily because in addition to selling most of what Ace has, RK has clothes, shoes, trailers, trailer hitches, cat food, chickens and a candy aisle. Plus they have a limited selection of guns and ammunition. Although I have never bought a gun from RK, I regularly buy ammunition from them because it is reasonably priced and available. I live rurally and this store fits my needs so much more. Even though their high end shirts (Ariat) were priced a full ten dollars more than the Martinsville and Greenwood locations, I found three Lincoln short sleeve shirts for $22 each. A helpful employee helped me sort out what LR and LT means for Lincoln clothing. These labels are on the hangers as well as the shirts themselves. Three cashier lanes were open plus Customer Service was handling a line of their own. There were about four customers in each line but they seemed to be moving okay. Regardless, RK opened up another lane while I was next to pay in my line. Good customer service here.

I was never rural king shopper, but someone told me about always getting their dog food there. I…read morehad always gotten mine somewhere else. I'm glad I checked out Rural King! Their selection is AMAZING! They have a ton of brands, and the prices are pretty good. They seem to have changed the dog treat selection, and I can no longer find my dogs favorite treat. The toys they offer are ok. From what I can tell, they don't offer any rawhide treats, only alternatives. If you ever try one, look at the list of ingredients. Sometimes there is stuff in there I just don't think a dog needs in their body. And one caveat, this review is primarily based on things I shop for. Some departments seemed like an afterthought. They have a big but expensive clothing section, and a nice selection of snacks. The bagged candy is a really good deal. I highly recommend the chocolate covered raisins! They have unique and hard to find items like jewelweed soap or balm for poison ivy and Lava soap. They always have something new in their seasonal area, and during the spring and summer have very cool things. The cat supply area is also very well stocked, and they have a nice selection of cat trees. I used to get a pretty simple one my cats always enjoyed. Overall, it's close to one stop shopping if you don't need food. I don't go there a lot, but I know I can count on them for what I want when I go.

The good thing is Tractor Supply is Pet friendly which made our visit quick after many other errands we ran on a Saturday.

We got the right recommendation and we also ended grabbing some more stuff for our lawn. All in all a good neighborhood dog friendly store!

Other wool products from her sheep include dyed yarn and wool balls you can use in your dryer instead of dryer sheets!
