We needed a used washing machine in a hurry. The owner was straightforward and helped us find a…read moregreat used model for a reasonable price. I cannot thank these folks enough and appreciate them. I will support this local business in the future. The only drawback was the loading zone out front - I made it work and thankfully the cars behind me knew what I was doing and waited until I was parked before moving past me.

G&H specializes in the Whirlpool line of appliances. We were looking for a refrigerator…read morealternative to Lowes and Home Depot who tend to feature LG and Samsung products and have very few Whirlpool brands on display (Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana and others). G&H had a good selection. They were very friendly, and helpful. Their prices are competitive with Lowes and Home Depot (actually $2 cheaper, by design). Unfortunately we live pretty far out of their delivery zone, so we weren't able to purchase the KitchenAid we viewed. Still, I wanted to recommend anyone in the market to give G&H a shot.

We purchased a new refrigerator from G & H in June of 2019 and it had a problem by December 2019…read more We didn't catch the problem until it resulted in the temperature inside the refrigerator being 56 degrees. We called G & H and they promptly sent out a repairman. Long story short, the part needed was not readily available. David at G & H called me everyday to give me an update and delivered us a brand new unit when the "old" one couldn't be repaired in a timely manner. Hands down the best customer service I have experienced in a very long time. Thank you G & H for taking the sting out of a frustrating problem. We will be back to purchase future appliances from you! You stand behind your products. There is no doubt in my mind that had we purchased the refrigerator from a big box store we would still be without a usable unit. Thanks so so much!

While exploring downtown Roanoke I stumbled upon Fret Mill Music. The display windows of guitars…read moredrew me in. Even though I don't play guitar I appreciate the instrument and did once play an instrument. The owner was strumming a guitar and asked if I needed help. The store is packed full of guitars floor to ceiling, They also have two rooms for lessons or demonstrations. They also have wall displays of guitars. The store had brisk business on a Saturday which I was delighted to see. A very, very cool store and my guess is the best in the area.

They have a great selection of Acoustic guitars (my primary interest) but some nice electrics as well. I have plans to add another Martin or Taylor to my collection and will absolutely buy from this shop as opposed to the big box.

Today was our second visit to Star City Music. Last year we purchased a used clarinet for my…read moredaughter (her old one was well loved for over 40+ years) and desperately needed a break. We have had 0 issues with it, it has had a successful marching and concert band season. Because our kid loves music (plays multiple instruments), we decided to purchase a used base clarinet too (this one by far was the most affordable option, we tried it before we bought it as well). She has played base clarinet for over 2 years now. She has used the schools, it was ok, but could probably use a bit of TLC itself. Star City Music by far had the best prices on instruments and reeds. I definitely recommend the trip--I'm told they can even deliver to local schools for reeds, repairs, etc. Both encounters have been knowledgeable and helpful.

This place is great always has what we need at a better than internet price. Fast repairs too.read more

I just visit Dixie Products for wood pellets but I still get the following:…read more Best quality hardwood pellets in the area. Best price on the pellets in the area.

I popped in to purchase a pair of Hoka's that were on hold for me while the n town this weekend. I came into the store not expecting much and was wowed! A huge floor space that does not served overcrowded. However a tremendous inventory of shoes, socks and other merchandise. I also picked up a few pair of Feetures socks, but they have several different brands too. I was disappointed they had few selections in Large. I found it cool that they have a 3D in sole maker. I've never seen one before. Several staff asked me for help as I browsed. I tried my shoes on with personal attention loosening the string and tying them up. I've yet to get this level of service from even my own local store at home. Checkout was smooth and I was enrolled in their rewards program. You can use the points for online purchases too! I thought the overall value of my purchase was very good. My items were quality, not cheap and I'm fine with this. Now as I travel I will look for Fleet Feet. But I feel certain Roanoke has something special going on.
