“I love this store. I go at least 2 times a week. The staff is ALWAYS very friendly and willing to help. Many items to choose from. I was amazed the first time I went there with the pricing. They are VERY affordable and i have found many different sales. So happy with this location I send everyone I talk to down there you can't beat them. I rank them #1 in our small town areas!!”
“This was one of the coolest old country stores I've ever seen it's a must stop even if you don't need anything, I was amazed at all that's there. I definitely enjoyed my stop ?”
“I stopped here on my way to harbor freight in Erie to look for some screws for a cell phone repair torx 4 to be exact. The staff was very helpful but unfortunately I wasn't able to find replacement screws for my old Pixel 6A phone. I ended up destroying the cable for the display while trying to replace the battery. In the process of trying to get the phone to work again with a new battery I learned quite a bit about cell phone repairs. I ordered a replacement battery. I believe it's a 4410 and the first place I ordered from sent me a battery. I believe a Motorola radio of some sort. I reordered a battery kit from a place in in Port St.Lucie Florida which was the right replacement. After destroying the display cable, I decided that it would be useless to try to repair a 4-year-old phone any further. A replacement screen would have cost more than the phone was worth so I'll probably just try to get my money back by selling the battery kit online. I already have a pixel 8 and a pixel 10 phone so I really didn't need the 6A.”
