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.

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.

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

A man behind came out from behind the counter to help me. He said my plate was very old and obsolete. He came up with the idea to cit off a center bar on the plate and maybe, just maybe it would latch again with it removed. While I waited for him to return another man was assisting my friend and he was just as helpful to her. We thanked him, paid for our purchases and left. Once home, I put the strike plate back on the door jam and closed the door. It worked! I can close and lock my door again. I'm giving Barnum Hardware and that men that work there a 5 star review.
