This is the first Harbor Freight I have visited. These modern tool retailers always always make me…read moresad as I remember my youth when we still had the awesome American manufactured Sears Craftsman tool line which came with a lifetime warranty. While the name Craftsman tools still exists they are now mostly foreign made tools which do often come with a lifetime warranty but these imported tools are made differently than the USA tools so getting a real replacement can't happen. Harbor Freight does carry some American made tools but like most places these days they mostly carry imported tools. We do have a lot more choices for tool and hardware joints these days but none seem to measure up to Sears back during their peak times. Overall this place will have some of the things you need or sometimes all the things you need to get your project done.

First off they dont have the best tools but sometimes we dont need the best to get a small job…read moredone..I usually go along with the hubby and sometimes he cant find what he wants ,but I always manage to get something I think I cant live without..They have one aisle I love with all kinds of cool non tool goodies..I can always find help and the staff is very friendly..

I've often been a customer at Ace Hardware locations all over the place. This is the first Ace…read morelocation I've visited in Lower Alabama and with little surprise it is very much like other Ace locations I've visited. Ace tends to have among the best customer service of any of the hardware type stores I've experienced. The folks working at most Ace locations actually seem cheerful and happy to help you find something or give suggestions on the best items for certain projects. The staff are also good about reminding you about available discounts and other money saving options. The experience at most Ace locations is far better than what you typically get at Lowes, Home Depot or Walmart.

What a huge store ,one of the guys said it's the largest in Alabama..it has everything and is so…read moreclean and neat..the staff is awesome and very helpful..it is located in a strip mall along with Beaulls, PigglyWiggly, Dragon City and a few other smaller stores.. we bought a few things but will definitely be back..they also have a rewards plan and veteran discount..

​I haven't dropped an update here in 5 years so now's a good time. Actually, I'm glad I waited this…read morelong to update the review. About 2 years ago, I noticed there were fewer staff around, and things started to feel a little more difficult than I was used to. But in the last year or so, they've really ramped up their game, and the service has been excellent again, totally back to its normal self. I have been a fan of the brand and while factors vary by location continues to be the best I have experienced and continues to be my go-to for my many honey-do excursions. :-) ​Bottom line: These guys are still killing it. Still the place to go for what you need, and yes, even with Lowe's right next door. 4/6/26

I had a great experience at the Foley Home Depot thanks to Karlita Evans on the management team…read more I was dealing with a frustrating warranty issue involving my oven, and Karlita took the time to listen, investigate the situation, and help me understand my options. She was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me find a solution. It's rare to find someone who is willing to go the extra mile for a customer, but Karlita did exactly that. Her leadership and commitment to customer service turned a stressful situation into a positive experience. Thank you, Karlita, for your patience, professionalism, and outstanding support!

I have purchased a Saw Stop table saw, a Festool track saw and various other tools from Gulf Coast…read moreTools. Their prices are generally pretty good and their selection is excellent! The team is friendly and very helpful but not overly so (for when you just want to look around). They are a great local resource as opposed to the big orange and big blue boxes. We are lucky to have them here in lower Alabama.

This is a great store for any tools you need ..they have these cool bins in front with all kinds of…read moredifferent tools,batteries, clips, scissors, glue etc, it is so much fun looking thru them.. ..

Very well stocked store. If you can not find what you need…read morethere are employees that actually want to help you. Outdoor area is year round and has local plants. Large seasonal selection of palms and fruit trees. Lumber area does not cut any wood. They do have a bulk drive up area.

This was the worst customer service experience I have ever had…read more I waited approximately 30 minutes in line. When it was finally my turn, the cashier, Diane, made two very brief attempts to process a payment (30-60 seconds) and then abandoned my transaction to help another customer. When I explained that I had already been waiting for 30 minutes, I was ignored. After she returned, I repeatedly told her the ZIP code being entered was incorrect and that the transaction would be declined. She ignored me multiple times, continued processing the payment, and then acted surprised when it declined. When I pointed out that I had warned her several times, she responded, "I wasn't listening to you." That statement perfectly summarized the entire interaction. She was dismissive, argumentative, and unwilling to listen to the customer standing directly in front of her. The situation became even more shocking when she openly stated that she did not want to work there, was only filling in for someone else, and did not want to deal with customers. She then showed me her name tag and identified herself as Diane. Everyone has bad days, but customers should not have to wait 30 minutes only to be ignored, spoken to disrespectfully, and then told by the employee serving them that she doesn't want to be there in the first place. Lowe's management should review this interaction and provide additional customer service training or determine whether this employee is suited for a customer-facing position.
