Bought many things here over the years. We walked in and was immediately recognized by "thebiglebowski."

It is great that some things #neverchange.

I was approached by Matt with a "what's up" as the greeting, informed him he should approach customers more professionally and he told me that he covers the entire store and I need to speed up my ask. At that point, I asked for a manager and he refused and said I could go request one at customer service where Jason showed up. Jason assisted me with my plumbing questions, helped me find the right parts and I left to go purchase at a competitor. While I was in lawn and garden I was passed up by two female associates eager to empty out garbage cans versus acknowledging me in the aisle or offering me assistance. Sad state of affairs at this location as of late.

It's like you walked into the past, with cabinets and do-dads you'll not find anywhere else in this metropolitan area.

I was in need of a drywall saw and couldn't find one. An employee walked me to the correct aisle and showed me the selection. The best/most well put together one was on sale the previous week, and even though the promotion was over they gave me the sale price. You can tell they really know their stuff. When I run into problems on a project, I can just describe the problem and they can offer an easy and cost-effective solution. Best thing, you really can tell they enjoy doing their jobs. All the employees are super friendly. Some things might cost a little more here than other stores, but when you're dealing with friendly and knowledgeable people, you don't mind spending a little more.
