Groom and Sons is a staple at Cedar Creek Lake. Though Lowe's exists down the street, there is a…read moretrue charm in this place. I grew up with members of the Groom family and they were always kind to me. That goes a long way. You may pay a few cents more for things here than at Lowe's, but the customer service and supporting small business are a small price to pay. They hire local students, and have many services available. If you have been in Mabank for years, or are a lake rat visiting Cedar Creek Lake on the weekends, check out Groom and Sons for any needs you may have. By the way - they have quite a selection of Yeti products by the registers.

Poor customer service. They do not have the staff to answer questions about their products.read more

I personally hate going into home improvement places like this…read more BUT I have been to this one several times with my wife as we are renovating a vintage camper. Every time people here have been so nice and so helpful. At other Lowe's and home improvement locations, it's basically impossible to find anyone and when you do it's a 16-year old that doesn't know what a hammer is. Not here, my friends, not here. The Gun Barrel City Lowe's is hands down the best one.
