“They have all your hardware and camping needs in this store and then some. They're reasonably priced. They didn't have everything we needed, but we needed a couple canopies to hide from the sun. We made other purchases though.”
“I moved about 30 miles southeast of here less than a year ago. Slowly but surely renovating our home. Next addition: wood stove. It was pretty random. Went into a store, saw one on sale, and decided to buy it. I know nothing about installing these or what is needed. So, I spent the next 2 days researching and calling different stores. I added up all of the supplies I would need and where to find them, at 4 different stores, all an hour in different directions. Then, I was referred to do it best in Fairview. We called, spoke to Patrick, and he advised us to come in, that they've got all supplies in stock. So we did, and he was so helpful. We showed him pictures of where we were going to put the wood stove in our house and where it was going to come out. How big it was, etc. He compiled a list with pricing of everything that we would need at the same price ($2 difference) of what I had added up at the 4 different stores. He helped with all of our questions, and he was just a pleasure to work with. One stop shop, local store, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!”
