No one could really answer as to whether or not they had one built. I googled Weber grills near me and found Ace in West Hartford. Larsen Ace Hardware was beyond nice on the phone and went out of their way to find one that was already built. We didn't have to drive to a million places to actually find one that was built already.

We were very happy to find out that Somers Star Hardware cares A LOT about the health and safety of all. My husband most recently needed his propane tank filled, and called the store to see what they'd be willing to do for a contact-free fill. The ladies there went above and beyond, with so much empathy and understanding. I was so grateful, I cried. (Yes, pandemic life makes me even more grateful for the good people working to make everyday stuff accessible and yet keep conditions safe.) Thank you so much, Somers Star Hardware, for your compassionate personal "touch" (of no touching! lol). We are huge fans of yours!

Dan provided me with great information and honest recommendations for our new snow blower. He could have upsold me to a larger, more expensive one, but he was honest and kept me towards the lower-version Ariens 28 RapidTrak. I have the blower now, and it worked great over the last snowfall. When I went to visit, Dan also let me "test drive" the blower, so I could feel how the tracks worked, and how the auto-turn behaved. All worked wonderfully well, as expected... but, again, the key is that he let me run it, which was great. Dan also talked about various accessories, including the LED light which he sells online - he's supposedly the only seller for Ariens-branded LED lights on the blower... impressive. He also recommended the plastic sliders and showed me everything else I might want (I added the canopy, as he had a great deal on it). Bottom line, with the great sales and discussion, I wouldn't think of buying it anywhere else! River East setup the blower well, and had it ready to go when it was delivered. The delivery person also walked me through the basic operation (even though I knew it pretty well, as I've used Ariens for many years). Point is, he spent the time to answer any questions and provide extra tips as well. Overall, great service and sales... I highly recommend them!

They always have someone near the self checkout if an issue arises. The parking lot is big. There are a good number of contractors that visit during the day. All in all, a good Home Depot.

I live close to this store but I would rather go to Wallingford the store is clean, stocked, and people always asking if you need help. The managers of this store should be ashamed of themselves.
