McGuckins can wheel these carts inside if needed and are prepped to cover the shelves. Mother's Day weekend is a safe bet. I've bought plants here for years as well as at two other local sellers. We are not ready yet ourselves but wee needed some fertilizer for older plants in our yard. Remember , McGuckins has a loyalty plan which earns coupons for future purchases. Today I used a $5 off coupon I had earned as well as a 10% off coupon that had come in the mail. It's actually very competitively priced if you participate. Plus you get their knowledge and help and you might find things no other store has, especially so close to home.

This was my second visit, this time to return a few items. At checkout, I joked with Nathan that…read moreI'd probably end up spending twice my refund--and sure enough, I did. I headed straight for the tool section, where Jude helped me track down the exact drill bits I needed. Both Jude and Nathan were excellent--helpful, patient, and friendly. The product selection is solid, but what really stood out is the level of customer service. It's rare these days to find retail staff who go above and beyond, and these two certainly did (even humoring me as I reminisced about my own time working in retail). As a funny side note, I even got the chance to chase after a customer and his dog after he accidentally left a dog bone behind at the counter. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough to return it--maybe he'll return for his purchase! All in all, great selection, great service, and a team that makes shopping here a genuinely positive experience.

And if you live in south Boulder (I don't) there is a real convenience factor here. But sometimes you need alternative choices on merchandise, or quick in and out convenience if you are in this shopping center for some of their local treasures like Sweet Cow or Lucky's or Neptune or Kim & Jakes or Pharmaca and you think of something else and this store will save you a separate trip. I saw something on their outdoor display area when I was leaving Lucky's and went in to check it out. It was what I had thought about to solve a yard problem, it was on sale and worked out well. The owner was there, he's had the store for about 10 years he said and I thought it was greatly improved since it's days in the 80s and 90s as Rad Hardware.

The gift card also cannot be used towards the balance on my Home Depot card that I used for the windows. I will never buy anything from Home Depot again that needs installation. Maybe nothing from HD ever again. They apparently do not vet their installers.

They carry portable power tools, glues, and stains, that sort of thing, and standard building fir as well as interesting dimensions of woods like redwood and hickory. For me, this place is a comfortable, old-fashioned oasis with quality woods and service. Keep it up, men!

Of course, first and foremost has been its main anchor, the venerable store for nearly everything from nuts and bolts to kitchenware and paint as well as animal supples and tools, lawnmowers and lightbulbs, sporting goods and clothing. You get the point. McGuckins! With absolutely wonderful staff and management. See my review for this great place. Another current favorite is Rincon Argentino, the best empanadas around and luckily for me, they are not fried, so much healthier and authentic to have the high heat baked style. See my review of them for specifics. My husband still uses Aspen Eyewear, another longtime favorite though I cannot, sadly needing a medical supplier but since the year that they opened, they have been our mainstay for glasses. See that review too. Grandrabbits, still the best wonderful carefully curated toy store in town. Though unfortunately we do not need them as much as in the past, as not only have our children gotten too old for most items, even our grandchildren have gotten beyond most of their range. But always nice for that special gift for any child. I used PakMail just the other day. Great for specialty shipping needs (which I did a few times) as well as supplies for do-it your self types like me. And though I have not been recently to Wood Grain Bagels, the French Cafe or Great Harvest Bread, Vitality Bowls, Brewing Market, they are appear to be thriving. Same for Sprouts. Also, Osakas, for Japanese fare which opened just before the pandemic but was enjoyable before as well as recently. Glad they could make it through the last few tough years. Check those reviews too. Sadly we lost a really great place at the beginning of the pandemic, wonderful Zolo Grill where we ate countless meals since its opening back in the mid 90's. But Big Red F Group still maintains several other options here in Boulder as well as elsewhere. They sure have grown. The old Boulder Ski Deals has been replaced by Epic Mountain Sports which I have not had a need to use, but Boulder Ski Deals was great for many years for some of our needs. There are a few empty spaces in the shopping center from the businesses recently gone, some we used, some we did not. But I am sure the management of this center will find suitable additions as times improve.
