Great littlle neighborhood store. I keep being pleasantly surprised finding things I wouldn't expect a small place to have! And dog-friendly too. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.

This is my new go-to hardware store. They were the only store that had a hard-to-find halogen bulb we needed for a ceiling fan. ❤ They texted me a photo before I drove over so I could ensure it was the correct bulb.
