Prices are really affordable and the employees are courteous. It's pretty convenient, with pre-loaded, pre-priced cartloads of wood. You can get anything from a cartload of irregular chunks of wood for $15 up to a $35 cart of oak. Additionally you can purchase pallets of wood onsite or for delivery. My complaint is that a lot of the wood I've bought there lately is hissing and sputtering, taking a lot more time to get started, and not throwing much heat out. By contrast, a more expensive bundle of seasoned campfire wood bought anywhere else will be burning quicker and hotter in a fraction of the time. With that in mind, the savings and convenience of buying here are countered by the fact that a lot of the wood doesn't seem properly seasoned. Additionally, brief internet research indicates that wetter wood causes more rapid creosote buildup in the chimney or stovepipe, which can be a hazard over time.

I could spend hours here. I love how quiet and peaceful it feels. A perfect getaway after a busy day at work. I arrived for one item and end up leaving with other items :)

The candy shop in the back is 100% worth a visit. I've been to dozens of "old fashioned" candy shops around the country that are either really cheesy or just are so overpriced you won't want to buy anything. This candy shop has really nice variety of old fashioned US brands, current novelty ones that kids like, and quality imports. Prices on candy are very fair. They have a good selection of regional sodas that are pretty $$$ individually but you buy in sets of 6 it's more reasonable. Also the staff is INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful.

Pierson's is outstanding for answering my questions about how to do it myself, what supplies I…read moreneed, and one lady expert there is exceptional. Pierson's has had everything I need right here in town. They care about our community as I have seen through the years. Years ago, I was treated rudely at Shaffer's Ace in Henderson Center by older men rather consistently. Since then, I refused to ever go there again, even though it was a block away from our house. Pierson's was like night and day, in their customer service. We live further away from Pierson's now, but it is still worth the easy drive during the week between 2 and 3 p.m. and we know the back roads. If time allows, I love meandering around in the garden area after I buy my supplies. One lovely afternoon, I even got to pet the garden cat sleeping up on an empty flower crate out back. Years ago, maybe 2004, I took my plans, measurements, and idea to build a cat door in a window. In the lumber department out back, they found me some scrap wood. Then I got the proper brackets inside the main building. In there, a nice gentlemen helped me figure out what bracket I needed AND he used his electric screwdriver to attach the brackets to the wood for me. Wish I got their names to tell the manager how much I appreciated their help. Never will I forget those guys going the extra mile for me, inexperienced in these things just having an idea. My measurements were correct and between the Pierson's lumber out back and bracket, screws, and nail area in front, they literally helped me build a cat door/window. It went under a window that opened upward and worked very well, with a table to jump on to get up and down for short excursions, then home to eat as I battened down the hatches. Many years later, that precious little mouser cat crossed the Rainbow bridge. She is buried under that beautiful flowering tree right outside where her cat window used to be.

Even Mooch, the friendly bulldog, was a pleasant companion while shopping the immense selection of tiles. I took away the wood stove pedestal tiles with me right then and there.

There's a nice garden section out back with a good selection of plants and supplies. You can find some good deals when items are on sale, but most everyday prices tend to be higher than the competition.
