This is a locally owned, family-owned small business that has been in the area for decades. Formerly known as Zembowers on Liberty Street, we grew up going there for odds and ends, Christmas lights, plumbing needs, paint, rakes, and things for repairs and new construction around my family's house.
The family is very friendly, husband and wife, who are hands-on owners and will physically mix paint, cut pipe, give you advice, point you to the right aisle, and give you a variety of options for what you are looking for. Sometimes their selection is lacking, especially if there has been a rush of customers, but overall, being downtown working for many years back-when, why would I run to Lavale and have to fight lines when I can walk right down the street and get taken care of quickly.
What's also cool that you wouldn't think of- they have a variety of services as well that at big box stores you'll fight tooth and nail to have someone help you and probably then just pawn it off on another associate. Here at this location - they cut glass, cut pipe, mix paint, make keys, and a variety of services you wouldn't expect.
Very impressed! Will be back! read more
