They have the MOST gorgeous Easter display of any store, along with a sweet selection of merchandise! I enjoy just walking around this store and seeing what unique items they have for your home. Sure wish the people were friendlier and cared more about helping the customer. Oh well that's kind of the way the world is these days! I bought a good amount of merchandise but something i took home did not work and had to return it. This return didn't work in my favor, turns out the customer is not as important as that extra dollar even if you are the one inconvenienced. That being said I still enjoy walking around the inside of this store.

I love Breed and Company and so grateful one is located close to my home. I come here regularly and…read morepurchase gifts and hardware supplies for my home. Right now they are decorated for Christmas and the store looks amazing. There are some great decorating ideas here and the products are high quality. I have noticed some things go really fast, so if you see something you like ... grab it. One half of the store are hardware items where carry items not found at the big box stores like the Big Green Egg. The other half is home essentials and changed out for all the seasons. The back has a small gardening area. The whole store was very clean and organized. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you sign up for Ace Rewards then some nice perks.

I brought it back to Ace to get a refund and they won't refund $139.64. I explained that I already purchased a new one but that didn't matter.

The garden center is always a highlight, and being an Ace Hardware means they somehow have every random item you didn't even know you needed. The sale table is dangerously good... I always end up grabbing something for "next year." The staff are consistently helpful without being pushy, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. And yeah--the treats at the front are a nice bonus. Honestly, just a great, feel-good spot to get lost in for a bit. Hard not to walk out with the one thing you needed...so be warned!!

But, that's ok because they had a ton of other stuff I didn't know I needed and bought. Think hardware store meets Bed, Bath, & Beyond (remember that place?). Gadgets as far as the eye can see. Tools as far as the eye can see. It's really a one-stop shop for household repairs, DIY, decorating, etc. Get your drywall, paint, brushes, and new home accessories all at once. I just really dig the old schooly vibes of this shop. The ambiance is totally throwing it out there. I think the pricing is fair and I found the service to be pleasant and informative.

They had a pretty decent stock as elsewhere has been selling rapidly. There's a lot going on at Callahan's as that place is huge. The only issue I had while I was there was there was only one lady working the cash register and there was a good 5+ of us waiting in line at a certain point, and it was moving at a snail's pace. Just that lunch rush I guess. I'll be back maybe for more Webkinz, I guess. RIYL: Feed and thing

I wish I still had my potbelly piggy, Emma (she was my beloved pet in the 90s). This would be a…read morespot for her to get kibble and other supplies. I like coming here because it's got that old school general store feel. You know, what it must have been like back in the days of cowboys, dirt roads, and small, one-horse towns. They have just about everything from western clothing to hay, hammers, seeds, household stuff, and more. I had been on the search for a specific style of plant pot for an urban garden project I was working on. I searched high & low looking for what I wanted and couldn't find it. That is, until I tried Callahan's. I went in on a whim, not really looking for said pot, but looking around in general. And to my surprise, there it was! The piece I had been looking for. The fluorescent store lighting reflected around it like a glorious and spectacular display, calling my name. "Buy me, Karla, buy me"...and that I did. Obviously, I left happy. All in all, it's a cool place to check out and to find things you need and things you never knew you needed. Service is pretty great too. Everyone is super friendly.
