I've utilized ARS in both a professional and personal manner, all being personal for many years…read morenow. I've always had a pretty good experience there, customer service being what's lacking most, in my opinion, but not so poor that it's not worth shopping there. They have most things a restaurant would have in the front or back of the house and so many things that are useful in the home as well, especially if you smoke meats, process fish & game, entertain or just love to be in the kitchen. By no means are you going to have the Williams Sonoma shopping experience, but if you need a Cambro for brining, fermenting or resting meat, this is a great place to find it. Need an extra large quality cutting board for processing your fish & game, yep, they have that too. Need some knives to hold up to the wear and tear... tongs or spatulas for the grill... yep! What about some of those red or other colored baskets that you find in front of you filled with fish & chips at a restaurant? They're fabulous to have in the camper with a box of Buffalo check paper that is easily thrown in the camp fire. Squeeze bottles for condiments, simple oil & vinegar sets, chafing dishes, sterno, bulk simple silverware or dish ware for parties; this is the place to go for it. Larger than normal oven pans, cookie sheets or sheet pans! Yep... I can vouch for that since my 18-22lb spatchcocked turkeys are cooked on one that I purchased there a couple years ago. All of these things mentioned are used in our home... on the patio... in the camper! There really are a lot of options that I don't think the non-restaurant career person would necessarily realize they can get for their house and/or food prep & serving needs!

This is a cool store for the aspiring kitchen warrior…read more It really has everything one could ever need for cooking, and so much more. Le Creuset, blenders, juicers, toasters, espresso machines. It's everything I could ever want as an aspiring meal artiste. It is actually hard to catalogue everything. There are greeting cards, puzzles, games, candles. There are random posters, and signs hung up along the staircase up to the second floor where many more items, usually on sale, are located. Two particular enjoyments: 1. The chocolate bar selection. All sorts and types of flavors. Mint, caramel, and my favorite, potato chip. 2. The popcorn kernel selection. Every type of kernel for popping along with all sorts of ingredients to sprinkle upon the exploded kernels. The employees genuinely seem to enjoy their job. They appear friendly with each other and the customers.

The other side is fun gift tho gs and other fun stuff you must need for your kitchen. Over the years I have bought a plastic deviled egg holder, a deviled egg squirter thing, a pan rack you have from your wall, extra hooks for that rack, cast irons, various vegetable containers that look like your veggies, a cheese plate and knife, a popcorn bucket that separates all the kernels for you, lots of gift items like unique mugs, cat stuff, stickers, you name it you will find something for a gift if you look here. They are actually competitive in pricing when I google something in store Amazon has it for the same price or maybe the store is 1 or 2 bucks more. But hey no shipping charges and it feels good to shop local. Upstairs is the clearance items so dont forget to browse up there.

I'm addicted to these small, delectable mini-cakes! The guy who owns the store is very nice and helpful as well: I came in 10 minutes before closing and he was in no rush to get me out of there, he asked me if I needed help with anything.

On subsequent visits, we engaged with another employee who was very standoff-ish, and acted like she didn't have the time for us. Keep in mind this is after we spent more than $12,000 in their store. When I asked if one of the cold bottles of the water in the refrigerator was OK for me to drink, she looked at me like I had wandered in off the street and asked her to cook me dinner. Back to Jared. He put together a package for us that was so competitive, it beat everyone else's price! Then, he found an additional rebate that we didn't even know about after the sale and sent us a $400 check unsolicited. I would recommend Allan and Petersen tentatively, but I would recommend Jared wholeheartedly! Avoid the red haired lady

They charged me for 9 hours of cleaning without doing the carpets in the bedrooms. Also charged me a fee to come back out to my condo with out ever letting me the owner know or asking.

Before you consider hiring her contact me and I will give you much better options unless you want to get taken advantage of. Fair warning
