With all the options of hydroponic stores, I would have to say that this location was pretty well…read morestocked and nearly had all the reagents I needed for my plant care since I wanted to transition to hydroponics. The location is slightly off the highway but on a very busy street. There's only street parking available so if you're in need for anything heavy - I'd suggest parking as close the store as possible. When I walked in, the store was brightly lite and very organized. I was thrilled to see a lot of the things that I needed was in store so I had to figure out what was priority on my shopping list since some of the reagents were originally pricey. The gentlemen that helped me didn't say much but was able to suggest a few options that were similar to what I needed but I politely declined and got the items that was within my daily budget. One thing that I was worried about was getting persuaded into purchasing something that was way overpriced and something that I didn't need but I never felt that here. The service was straight forward and I was in and out within fifteen minutes. The prices here are relatively similar to what you could find online so It's great to know that your monies will be going to a local shop rather than big competitors.

Went in today and they were closed an hour early. Seems strange to me - I don't understand it…read more Usually they close at 8pm on a Sunday but today they closed at 7pm. I've been to this location many times. Usually a good experience. Bought a couple fruit trees from this exact locations 10 years ago and think about this store every time I eat fruit from them. They are already large and I feel like they turn a house into a home. A place you really enjoy much more. I am big into landscaping. I like mature, beautiful landscape. Kitchens and paint I'm less into - I feel like these things no matter what they are within 5 or 10 years they are old, outdated and in need of redoing. The same can't be said about trees - they only get better and more valuable with age. Had a realtor once tell me that a 5 or 10 year old kitchen is just as bad as a 50 year old kitchen. Neither sells - and with trends ever changing - I wouldn't get too hung up with it. I know some friends that put so much effort into what paint on their walls looks like or what brand cabinets they have. Then they want the CHEAPEST car possible to put their wife and kids in. I just don't get it. Was a bummer today. I saw the Christmas tree lot here all closed and some of the trees inside I wanted to take a closer look at. The variety of Christmas trees here was very nice.

Hardware/fasteners can be tricky to navigate, so I asked an associate stocking and organizing in the fasteners aisle for help to confirm if a specific cam screw would work as a replacement. Unfortunately, she was completely uninterested in helping. Instead of taking a moment to answer my question or point me in the right direction, she acted like I was an inconvenience for interrupting her work. Good customer service means prioritizing helping customers in the store over organizing shelves. While I eventually found the hardware I needed on my own, the encounter left a really bad impression. I hope management reminds their floor staff that assisting customers should always come first.
