This is one of the oldest hardware stores in the city and they have several locations, but this…read moreone, while not as big as the one on Broad, is closest to my house. I love the jumble and assortment of stuff here, and it's much more of an adventure than going to Home Depot. I find little sink stoppers and screens for my bathroom and kitchen that I can't get anywhere else, but I always end up picking up something on a whim, like candles. They have the odd gift item stocked right beside the really functional hardware stuff. I bought my Sterno stove kit, which really comes in handy in the winter, since Church Hill almost always loses power at least two or three times during the season. Can't live without my morning mud!

I normally visit this store at least three times a month picking up various things for my home as…read morewell as Bird food quite often. Normally when you walk in you're asked if you need any help and everyone is very friendly. Today when I walked in the young gentleman at the cash register looked at me, but never never said a word so ventured back, looking for something that I had never looked for in the store before and was not able to find it. So I asked an older gentleman at the back of the store, putting air filters away for some help or if he could send me in the right direction. He said he didn't really know and to just read the box and see what it says and turned his back and kept on putting air filters away. I think the service today left a lot to be desired. And I think if management has an opportunity to read this review. They should really look at the team that was there at 3 o'clock today and try to get them in sync with the other individuals that are so nice normally at this particular location. It doesn't make you really want to go back.

This was my first visit to any Pleasant's Hardware branded store. I've been to Ace before. My…read morefirst time to this location. I live about a 1 hour round trip. Came there specifically to have a key duplicated. No one at the desk. No problem, I'll wait. Employee walks by and sees me standing there and was going to keep walking so I decided to ask her if she can help me. Immediately, not a great attitude. Did not catch her name but pretty sure her name tag had "manager" on it. She had that way of talking that just signals they are irritated to be helping you. So she doesn't have the needed blank (which I understand) and decides to try to make a "custom" key for me, which I appreciate. She hands it to me and says she thinks it will work but it's custom made. Ok, I get it. This is where my annoyance increases. I said I'd like a total of three duplicate keys. She refused to make the other two. She said there's no point in making them if I'm not sure if they are going to work. Sure there is....I live an hour away, I tell her, so I'd like to get the keys now. Nope, she refused again. So if the keys work, I'm all set. If they don't work, I'm out $6 to $8. Under her way, if the keys work, I am supposed to make another 1 hour round trip to have 2 more made? Why not just make them? She apologized for how far I lived away and said....there's no point in making them if I'm not sure they are going to work. I'm a bit stunned at this outright refusal to sell the customer what they are asking for. I guess the customer is not always right at this store. It was clear she just didn't want to spend 5 more minutes making two more keys. It was quite annoying. I do not plan to return to this store.
