“Had to write a review specific to the bakery! My daughter's birthday party is tomorrow (1/5) & I had planned to go get a cake from Costco. Not wanting to make the drive, I decided to grab a cake from the fridge at Vinckiers & if my daughter liked it, I'd order one here instead. We ALL enjoyed it so I went back on Thursday to place the order. I told them she technically wanted Disney princesses as a "theme" but anything pink and super girly would also make her happy. They delivered tenfold! She's obsessed with roses (her middle name, named after her great grandma Rose) so she absolutely loved seeing it. They also threw in a free mini doll cake for her and even included the dress for the doll after we removed it from the cake. We're so happy with the half sheet cake and couldn't get over how sweet it was that they gave her something special. She was beaming!”
“Full service hardware store. Personal treatment upon entering the store. They have it all. Better that the Orange place up the road if you know what I mean. Support your local businesses.”
“The staff here are always helpful. Take full advantage of your local hardware store! Prices often a bit higher but well worth the trade-off of driving further and searching a 3-acre store for the item you need.”
“The mechanic Steve is the best!! I trust him fully!! And his associate Christina is the best person I ever dealt with!! Both of them are the best!!!! I highly recommend them!!!! ❤”
“Came in with 2 OEM Dodge Charger Fobs, both not working and I was not sure if it was a battery issue or defective fob as the dealer had replaced the battery a year or so prior. Devin took the time to diagnose the issue using a precise volt meter and determined it was in fact a battery issue and replaced it with a high quality Duracell battery, not a generic one. The fobs work great! Devin was very professional and provided the best customer service!! Please thank him on my behalf. Joe H.”
“Tractor is a huge chain that caters to mostly farmers and their needs. I can buy stuff for my tractor along with tools, dog food, etc. They have a good assortment of hardware in bins and sold by the pound! Yayy! Much cheaper than this packages where you have to buy 10 to get the one you need.”
“All I can say is wow! Before visiting SP I had been to the bid welding Supply stores that both have "AIR" in their names. Well to sum it up that is what they had the most of. I got the , " Uh we don't have that machine in stock ... but we can order it" and at a cost of $50 more than I could buy it anywhere else. Well I was able to get excellent service and a great price on a complete turnkey setup in and out in under 30 minutes. I bought the Miller 141 MIG and man Am I happy. This thing welds like a dream. I highly recommend you go here instead of the big box stores and get the small town service that is hard to find anymore. Jason was a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable about their complete product line. I will be a long time South Park customer. Thanks!”
“Decent customer service and well stocked. They do have veterans parking but it is as far away from the front door as possible. I don't see how that is thanking anyone for their service.”
