A very friendly guy with a great beard took me around personally to find all my items (and discuss them) despite my family and I arriving 10 minutes from closing time. Amazing service. I have deleted all other hardware stores from my mind.

Very helpful staff. I walked over to this store for the first time after finding my car battery dead this morning. A staff member showed me all the jump starters and then found one they had on sale for 50% off! This will be my go-to hardware store from now on
