Went to purchase numerous items for a small project. We ran into an employee named Lorne. Amazing. Huge knowledge base. When most stores are self service, he made our experience so positive. Thanks.

Had a wonderful encounter with the gentleman in the paint section on Nov 14th (around 9am) Took the time to explain the very basics of painting and answered all my questions, even the silly one about how to calculate sq²
