xxtrasafe says "Very Helpful Staff" about home depot - laguna niguel, CA

I needed a hose reel and went to Home Depot today. Since I recently had surgery just the other day, one of the employees could see I was having a little trouble. They immediately went over and got me a shopping basket. They than helped me load my purchases and took them over to the register. They did this in a very positive manner and I thought everyone should know,, didn't get the clerks name. He did almost everything for me except pay for the purchase. Its nice getting this old fashion service that you seldom find anymore.

Ace Hardware at California Crossing in Topeka is my first destination when I need anything from paint to plants, bird food, to bbq tools!!! Such freindly, knowledgable staff, great selection, clean roomy store. They go out of their way to be helpful and never make me feel like my questions are silly...which I am sure sometimes they are...lol.

Soon they will be bringing in the beautiful plants for my flower garden...I can't wait!!!
Be sure you get an Ace Hardware savings card, the savings add up quickly and you will be getting gift certificates in the mail before you know it!!!

BuckeyeinNC says "Great local hardware and appliance/furniture store" about G. T. McSwain - Boiling Springs, NC

BuckeyeinNC — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 01:19:11 GMT

G.T. McSwain is the local hardware and appliance/furniture store in Boiling Springs, NC. Boiling Springs is in Cleveland County, near Shelby,NC about 50 miles west of Charlotte, NC and about 10 miles north of the South Carolina border.

It is a family-owned business that has been in Boiling Springs for many years. It used to be a grocery store until the Ingles chain came to town. It then transitioned into a hardware store. They are a affiliated in some way with the True Value Company so they have those sales.

They have all types of hardware - plumbing, electrical, paint, tools, etc. Since they do appliance repairs they have all kinds of appliance parts. They also do lawn and garden tool and machinery repair.

They also have a good selection of appliances and furniture.

The best thing about the store is the helpful staff. You can hardly get in the door without someone asking to assist you.

I am glad this store is in Boiling Springs - it saves me lots of travel time to run to...

GymW says "One of the best hardware stores in the area. " about Dale Hardware - Fremont, CA

This store just does not preach great customer service and knowledgeable employees. They consistently deliver it. You do not need a 'hunting license' to find someone to help you as their is almost always someone nearby. They have many of the products that their competitors no longer carry along with everyday completive pricing. When an employee makes a commitment to a customer, more often than not they keep it. While they may not offer the lowest price in the area on a product, when you consider the customer service they provide they are probably the best overall, cost effective and value priced store in the area. They treat consumers and contractors with equal respect. It is a store you can spend most of the the day browsing around to see what is interesting or go in and quickly find an item and get out fast with just what you want. I have never had to wait over 5 minutes to check out. If they do not carry a product they will proactively offer to order it for you. When lines start forming,...

Telpher says "Your Neighborhood Hardware Store" about Cole Hardware - San Francisco, CA

Telpher — Tue, 13 May 2008 18:37:37 GMT

I was a weird kid. I always loved going to the hardware store with my dad. On weekends, when he'd go to buy lumber, check out tools, order paint - whatever it was we needed for the Victorian brownstone my dad was always working on (and losing the battle with!) - I was always more than happy to tag along to the hardware store. I've never been terribly handy, but I love a good hardware store.

Sadly, the days of the neighborhood hardware store are all but gone. With superstores such as Home Depot and Lowe's popping up at every suburban outpoast, the corner hardware store owner is finding it more and more difficult to stay afloat. I don't hate Home Depot, but I do support small business. I think small business is a key component in any community. There are two things that turn a geographic area into an actual neighborhood: the people who live there and the local resources made available to them. If you get rid of one, the other finds it impossible to maintain the status quo, and the neighborhood...

AmyA says "So many different herbs in one place" about Northside True Value Hardware - Appleton, WI

AmyA — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 19:29:54 GMT

Most people go to the hardware store for hardware stuff, but me, I found the gold mine of a herb selection at Northside True Value Hardware here in Appleton. I didn't know that there were so many types of herbs I didn't even know about. They have Sage in lemon, lime, spicy, orange, mint and regular for example. Did you know there were many types of cat grasses too? Italian and regular Basil, Three different types of Oregano Oh yeah! I buy all of my herbs here because of the selection, they are so healthy, and grow like a dream. If I know people are looking for herbs and can't find them, I always send them to Northside True Value Hardware because they will for sure find it there. Their herbs are a tad higher in price compared to other green houses, but trust me you will be so pleased.

Great selection, friendly service and so tasty in our cooking!
