What Goodys has are actual people working there to help you get what you need and answer questions. And check you out - I hate self checkout. They will even help take things to your car.

In addition, it's a great spot for Weber grills. Over the years, I've bought three from them.

Since moving to Guilford in 2008 we have been regular customers at Page including purchase of a…read moreRefrigerator few years ago when their service staff were wonderfully careful bringing in the appliance into a narrow condo entryway & kitchen area filled with dining furniture & did a great setup; I always get the necessary water & filters & even told the staff a 'trick' I learned to release the water filter, not always easy just pushing it in. Yesterday a young man (Mike C.) helped me with getting a D ring attached to the back of a hand made large wooden peace sign that the builder had forgotten to attach. He was so sweet & kind to me and Page is very fortunate to have sales staff like him in their employ. Mark also helps everyone who enters this great long time addition to our Guilford community & as a widow now will always be grateful for their assistance in every department. Lonnie S., Guilford

Guys in the back service department are always on point but you'll always lose if you have an issue or complaint come time to check out. Home Depot and Lowe's aren't too far from here paying extra for attitudes and problems doesn't make any sense. Based on a few reviews of this rating here they don't have any respect nor consideration for their customers if you have a problem. They only care about their bottom line...

Love this place. Love the feel, love the location, the people, the products, the smell!…read more This place is TIGHT, and it's packed to the gills- so don't hesitate to ask them for help finding stuff. I just usually go up to the counter, wait for one of them to become free, and they'll ask me what I'm looking for and take me there. I'm so glad that they survived the giant Walmart-mentality superstores that moved in around them over the years. I go here when I can, rather than the big superstores. Even if they don't have "everything", and they don't have a website to check inventory bla bla bla- it's NOT about that. Many people might be nostalgic about this place- I'm not (even though it's been there most of my life)- I just like them. Many will say "bygone era"... I don't. I say: they're here now, use them.

There is plenty of off street parking and the store is well stocked with hardware items. The displays were nicely done. I thought the prices were reasonable.

My mother has been a loyal customer of Stewart's Ace Hardware in Clinton for over 7 years. She…read morerecently purchased a $900 Weber natural gas grill (Spirit S-425), believing it was fully stainless steel like her previous Genesis model. There was no floor model to inspect, and she trusted the store's description and history. When the grill arrived, it had only stainless trim, no wheels, and was clearly not the heavy-duty model she expected. She declined delivery politely and even offered to pay the price difference or use gift cards to upgrade to the better model. They refused. Instead of working with her, they issued a refund--and then left her a voicemail telling her never to shop there again. Their own voicemail admitted it was a "snafu" and they "don't normally sell natural gas grills," but punished her for not accepting a downgrade. This wasn't about being difficult. It was about being fair. After over 7 years of loyalty, this was their response. If this is how they treat long-time customers, I encourage others to think twice before shopping here.
