“Located directly on Leicester Hwy, this hardware store is a convenient stop for anyone living in or near the community. They have a wide selection of hardware and landscape items as well as propane, kerosene, plumbing, and electric. Lots of miscellaneous stuff, too much to list here. I'm a frequent customer at Leicester Hardware, usually stopping in to buy the 20 lb. bags of black oil sunflower seeds for our bird feeder. They sell a variety of dog food and other animal feed, all at a very fair price. If you're in the area stop by at Lester Supply and hardware!”

“Dewayne Deserves a Raise! I don’t usually leave reviews, but Dewayne in the paint department at Lowe’s truly went above and beyond. From the moment I walked in, he treated me like a priority — not just another customer. I came in needing guidance on painting several different surfaces in a double wide, and he not only helped me find everything I needed, but gave genuinely thoughtful advice that clearly came from experience. He explained what finishes would work best for high-traffic areas, which primers would prevent peeling or staining, and even how to prep tricky surfaces like paneling and trim. He never rushed me, and he had answers to questions I didn’t even know I needed to ask. It’s rare to find someone who is not only knowledgeable, but also patient, kind, and clearly takes pride in their work. Dewayne made a project that felt overwhelming actually feel doable — and even exciting. Lowe’s, you’ve got a gem on your team. Dewayne absolutely deserves recognition — and honestly, a raise. I’ll be coming back to this location because of him”
