I am so happy to see this hardware store operating. I think a lot of us in the area went into…read moremourning when St. Paul Builders closed, and though we understood the desire of the owners to retire, we worried about losing a hardware store locally, and we worried about the employees. I did, anyway. So it's wonderful to see two familiar faces when I go to Hometown Hardware. This store is smaller than St. Paul Builders, but Steve and Jerry are quick to order anything you need. I wanted some DAP plaster-of-Paris powder, and it was waiting for me the next time I went in--and at a good price. Steve and Jerry are professional, accommodating, and also very nice and friendly. I predict that Hometown Hardware will become as much a local institution as St. Paul Builders was. And I very much appreciate that I don't have to drive a long way just to pick up hardware and supplies. The location in downtown St. Paul is extremely convenient.

Good place to get glasses. Lots to pick from and prices are reasonable. They know how to accurately…read moremeasure and adjust glasses to fit comfortable.

Very disappointing:( I felt like I was always in the way…read morewhile shopping:( The owner (?) made us feel like she would prefer us to leave:( I could have spent so much money in store due to the inventory. Everything was disorganized! If you try to look at anything you might cause the whole shelf to fall! Beware when shopping in this store! Not kid friendly nor adult friendly:(

My friend of many years...his mother passed the other day and I can not make it to the funeral home…read moretonight, tomorrow nor the the funeral on Friday. Sidenote::::the past few days I have had an issue with a national company...they actually called me this morning to tell me they can not find anyone to deliver to the funeral home. Really?!?! The day of the viewing you call me. Anyway after calling another local florist who said no...I called here and got Mr. Emery Mullins (hope I didn't misspell/mishear his name) and he is truly an angel. I explained I'm calling from Vegas and told him my good friends mother is at _____ funeral home and my husband and I want to place a delivery. Well he said "I know the family and actually just delivered her casket spread." My heart burst and I became teary, getting choked up he heard that. Then he assured that I not worry and that he will make a complimentary to that/stand arraignment in her favorite colors (of which he already knew). He also complimented the family and said that I must be "a great friend". He took care of my issue. An issue that should not have been a big deal. This experience truly blew me away. In a world of the unsympathetic and dealing with the life fact of the departed...Mr. Mullins truly knows the art of sympathy. He spoke to me like family. I really appreciate that. The moral of the story.......always buy local. My own mother always tells me to call the local florist, I usually do....but I ALWAYS will now. I plan this weekend to sit down and to handwrite him a thank you note, he really made my day.
