I was able to get everything I needed here for my tiny amateur container garden. This place has tons of herbs (the scent in their mint section is heavenly), an unexpectedly HUGE selection of peppers, basil, etc etc. Was also able to get some beets, tomato and cucumber plants. They have so many flowers and shrubs - I wasn't able to resist getting a beautiful hibiscus plant that reminded me of my Caribbean childhood. The staff was extremely knowledgeable - helped me plan my containers in such a way as to prevent overcrowding, helped me with soil selection and volume and the specifics of caring for my hibiscus. They carried everything to my car for me and packed the soil into my trunk. Any place that has dedicated parking always gets an extra point from me. They accept cards. Price is ok, not too $$$ but not the best prices ive ever seen but the place is convenient and I'm happy to support local.

I was disappointed that the veggies were limited, and the only thing that I came in there for inwhich was Romaine lettuce and both the organic and regular romaine lettuce were turning brown. The price for the lettuce was $0.99 but it was turning brown...why do they still have several packages sitting out? Even the bagged pre-sliced lettuce was turning brown. So, if you buy veggies make sure that you are inspecting before you purchase. The cashier barely wanted to speak, he seemed like he was "busy". This store carries a variety of items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, dried fruit, dairy products, flower arrangements, gardening supplies, potted flowers/plants.

With that type rude customer service, we will never go back there again. For the record, the gentleman in the green house was wonderful!

Kid was pretty rude off the bat as well. I'd recommend anyone actually needing flowers (lol) to go to Rothe Florists down the street.

The little tomatoes are the best thing I've had here. I don't know what's different about them but they almost have a slight sweetness. But really I've never gotten anything bad here. The Bread loafs they have are great. The pizza dough is too. You just need to use it and not let it explode in the fridge. I did that. More than once. I'm an idiot. Everyone that works the stand is super nice and helpful. They are always down to make suggestions on how to use what you buy. Now my favorite part is the coffee. They rotate their small coffee companies. Not sure if it's on purpose but I love it. It's a great way to sample local coffee shops. Sometimes it's out front with a truck and sometimes it's out back with a tent. In the back there is a small area you can sit and hang. We can't get enough of this place AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

Since moving to Roxborough over 29 years ago, I have been shopping at Stanley's Hardware. I have…read morenever had a negative experience with their customer service. Last week they went above and beyond, clearly deserving of media mention. Last summer I purchased a Weber Grill. I immediately had an issue with the casters not working. I called Ernie who dispatched his crew to retrieve the grill and try to fix it. It was missing many screws and one of the casters had fallen off. The crew brought back the grill, supposedly fixed but I have had difficulty with the same casters since last year. They will lock in place, and not stay unlocked thus making it almost impossible to move my grill. Finally, last week one of the casters just broke off entirely. This was two days before my July Fourth cookout. I called Ernie back and he immediately remembered me and dispatched another crew to assess the situation . When the crew arrived, they realized they would again have to take the grill back to the shop. A few hours later I got a call from Mike asking me if I wanted to have the repair done by Weber under the warranty or if I wanted them to try to put on new casters. I told them to put on universal casters because I did not want the same casters from Weber. A few hours later I got a call from Mike telling me the repair was complete and could they drop off the grill. I said sure and how much did I owe them. I was then informed I didn't owe them anything. I cannot thank them enough. I especially want to shout out Ernie, Mike and the owners , Mark and Alex Jaconski who run an exceptional business.

Stanley's is the classic small business the neighborhood wants to keep in place for their needs big and small. I've been blessed that I haven't had too many emergencies in my house but knowing a Stanley's run can be done quick sets my mind at ease. The best I can do to support them is to continue to visit in those non-emergency moments like when I need a key made or a small piece of hardware.
