Ahh, Lloyd's Trrue Value, for when you don't want to deal with the traffic or people of driving up…read morefurther through more traffic to more superior stores like Blain's Farm and Fleet, or a Home Depot.
They have a very small selection of some key essential items, and some random odds and ends that you wouldn't expect them to.
If you're on this side of town, and you're not wanting to put in a few extra miles, they're the only store of its kind in this particular corner of town. Bowever, they are well aware of that, and the price they charge for their merchandise is well above what it should be. And I get it, they're not a huge chain, they're a small little no name store, so they're just taking out the loss it costs businesses to even get up and running out on the customers because they expect them to pay it vs wasting their own time driving up town, I'm traffic, with our awfully slow speed limits, and our slow, unpredictable lights, so a lot of them will just eat their wallet, cut the loss, get what they need and try not to dwell on it too much.
$12 for a 2 set of grilling skewers? And we needed three, so that's two, $34, plus tax, for essentially a pokey coathanger. Woof. Employee didn't know if they had them or where they might be, but otherwise she was very, very sweet. She seems to know my stepdad very well from him coming in there frequently to get random doodazzles and whatsits, and she's very nice to him, which means a lot to me, unfortunately it just doesn't pull enough sway to bring them higher up on the ratings.
Nothing you can't get here you can't get anywhere else, and they're proud of their merchandise, as reflected on the price sticker.
I will say, that it looks like they might have some weird candy it check out that I don't know if I've ever seen before in convenience stores, and that always piqued my curiosity a little bit, but I didn't come in with a wallet, so I didn't try any. Also not really something one should really be judging this type of establishment on. Whoopsie! Hehe.
Just a little note that I didn't explore the time store, some of it might be rare, astounding, and reasonably priced, but I kind of doubt it. I think they're just banking on a convenient location and people paying more to get in and out, like people paying more at a Walgreens than somewhere else.
