I…read morecalled the University location because they're closer to where I live, but the helpful woman who answered the phone, told me that the Beaver location was the only one of their stores that had this particular scent. So, I headed over here but I couldn't find that scent. A young employee asked me if I needed help and I told him my plight. He checked and said they had six in stock somewhere in the store. He went to look for them. A short time later he came back with someone who I assume was the manager. He assured me they were looking for it. They just didn't know where in the store they were. After some time later he told me he couldn't find it but he offered to take my name and phone number and would call me if they found it. I thought that was very nice of him to do that. I've never had any store manager do that before. I was very impressed. In fact, when I haven't been able to find a product in most big box stores and ask an employee for help, they usually give up after 30 seconds and tell me they must not have it if it's not on the shelf and don't even check in the back for me. But my visit wasn't a total loss because I found my all-time favorite Mrs. Meyer's hand soap there--the Iowa Pine scent. I felt like I struck gold. I have never been able to find any of the seasonal scents (which are way better than their regular scents) in any of the big box stores like Target. When I looked on the shelf here I even saw more seasonal scents than I've ever seen before. I was in hand soap heaven! I was very impressed with how clean and bright the store was. They have a large selection of Yeti tumbers and coolers, too. I love this store! I wish I could give this review 6 stars. These guys know the true meaning of excellent customer service; something that is sorely lacking in most stores these days. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I walk in, and as usual I'm picked out as soon as I make two steps into the door to ask if there's something they can help me with. I guess browsing is not allowed (to bad for them since that's when my wallet starts to loosen up, and I buy things that I "think" I need). I tell the clerk that I need some ceiling paint. I'm asked: "interior or exterior"... Um, exterior ceiling paint? I don't think there is a such thing as exterior ceiling paint. Now I looked hard and far for anyone claiming to sell exterior ceiling paint. I even asked the clerk to show me a can of paint labeled "exterior ceiling paint" which he wasn't able to do. I think I'll just drive the extra 10 minutes to the next nearest home center store instead of stopping here. At least I can browse around those stores to get ideas on projects that I may want to tackle in the future.
