As soon as I entered the store, I was warmly greeted by the cashier. I felt very welcomed. Shortly after, an associate came to offer his assistance. With each interaction, the associate always had a pleasant smile.

I love the amount of women working here. The prices are a bit more expensive but the store is less overwhelming. There is an older white gentleman who works in the paint section who likes to leer at me and my friend which I thought was weird. Home improvement should be for everyone.
