This store is a secret gem tucked away in rural Western PA in the form of an old farmhouse. When you walk into the store (their front porch), you walk back into time where the people in the store made eye contact, they were helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. Yea, they have stuff all over the place: tucked in each room of the old farmhouse, barn, outbuildings and even in the fenced in pasture.
This is not a place where you wander around to window shop with a cart. No, here, you ask one of the staff where 'such a gizmo' is and they get it for you. And Gizmo's they have a tons of.
If you need to fix a toilet or find a part for your broken Trane Air conditioner, they have it or can get it for you.
If you need advice on how to deal with a low producing water well or what is the best heating system to put into your new home, they can help. They are not pushy, just knowledgeable. Oh, if they don't have it, they often can suggest a place to go find it. A great resource for parts, information and kind, honest assistance.
If you don't know what you need and can only describe it, they often can figure it out and give you the correct part.
When I was building my house, I frequently a lot of building supply big box companies and smaller local lumber and hardware stores. This place was, by far, the most helpful. I was a frequent customer when I was building my home, and I have no qualms in recommending them or giving them five stars.
I'm pleased not everyone knows about this place, for if they did, they could easily be overrun with customers. For now, they are still small enough to answer the phone, give their name, are friendly, kind, and honest, which is very hard to find in today's world. read more
