You wouldn't think that the hardware store would become a reoccurring vacation destination, but for…read moreus that's absolutely what this place is. We have loved watching it grow and expand its offerings over the years. my husband being in the maintenance and carpentry fields at times found himself needing things and North Woods hardware has always been there to assist with a cheerful smile. Service has always been friendly and helpful. I love perusing the HomeGoods and I've enjoyed exploring the expanded garden areas no stop to Glen. Arbor is complete without a pop into our favorite northern hardware store.

I've spent money and time here in the past, but never again. Today I went in to buy some paint…read more There was a woman at the paint desk. She said "I'll be right back." She went to the front of the store and started chatting with a coworker. I waited. And waited. Finally, I went up to the front of the store, and on my way out the door I said "Thanks for your help." She replied very contemptuously, "You're so very welcome." I don't know, maybe they feel they have too many customers. If that's the case, I'm happy to help alleviate that situation.

At first we did nothing, but that turned up a dreadful result and since we live in a neighborhood we figured we had to do something, so we went here. They were able to correct our messy lawn situation with organic products that I feel comfortable having all the neighborhood kids and dogs play on. Our lawn is now one of the best on the block and we never have those yucky pesticides do not touch signs.

They also carried the large bag of potting soil to my car so that I didn't have to get dirty.

Limited parking and small shop that can get crowded but lots of fun goodies to buy. I opted for their lavender honey and it is out of this world delicious - a little pricey, but I don't mind that when supporting local family-owned businesses. We only stayed about 15 minutes but there are some picnic tables near the barn if you want to hang around longer.

No big deal, i attempt to leave and a younger associate attempts to help me and I let me know they are out. He looks at me and basically calls me a liar. Walks over a see they are in fact out. I left without a purchase. I decide to give them another chance. I go in looking for economy studs which are popular with any lumber yard. The associate had no idea what I was talking about and gave me the response we only sell premium studs. Ok, see you later Alden lumber... you are a mile from my house and I have a lot of projects. I guess I'll use the big box stores in TC.

At a time when I was feeling my saddest, I experienced the most empathetic and genuinely kind…read moreexperience at this nursery. I stopped by the nursery because my beloved dog passed away and I wanted to plant a tree in his honor. What I didn't expect was to get the most compassionate and honest costumer service that I have ever experienced. I went in with an idea in my head but really needed some help picking the right one that would do the best. I just knew I wanted something that would stand out and last for a long time. The owner came to help me right away and asked me what I was looking for and when I told him why I was getting the tree he immediately stopped and offered me his condolences, his understanding, and more kindness than I could have expected. *He offered me a flower and I began to cry, he told me that I could just walk behind him as we looked so that I could cry and still feel comfortable- that's beyond customer service, that is a truly kind soul. * We took our time looking at the options and he gave me honest recommendations. Finally we found the perfect one- a white pine tree that was not even a fraction of the cost of the one I had originally thought I wanted. He could have easily just sold me on the expensive one I had in mind originally but he didn't. He cared more about me, the tree, and my experience than he did about making the sale. I wish I could express how much that experience means to me. It gave me so much comfort and I left feeling so grateful for the warmness they shared so generously with me, a stranger, and left with one of the first smiles I had in days. I met the other owner briefly as I checked out and felt the love just pouring from her too. I couldn't recommend them more. The experience you get from a local owned business is unmatched in its humanity. I promise, you will never want to buy from anywhere else again. Lastly, I want to say thank you to the owners who took time out of their day to lift up a stranger who had no idea how much she needed it. I appreciate you with all my heart. Thank you.
