“I stopped by last week w/ my 2 garden hose in hand. A young man sold me what I needed, connected them & explained what the problem was. He did this patiently and without looking at me like I was stupid. I really appreciated his customer service skills!”
“I absolutely love the customer service whether I'm calling or in person all the fellas there are so genuine and they point you in the right direction if they do not have what you need or if you're learning and just starting out they can also guide you as well they are just all around fantastic”
“Amazing customer service — the two managers (Scott and Robert?) went above and beyond to help me get a new Northstar wood splitter. My farm is nearly two hours away, we were delayed but they stayed late to help me out. Everything was staged and ready to go for a fast exit. Rockstar service, and the splitter is huge - bigger than my truck bed. :)”
“Very friendly people went in look to find what I was looking for. They had one floor model but none other that they could sell me but they went out of their way to help find me the next nearest location that I could drive to to get it they were extremely helpful.”
“LOVE this IGA, as they have everything we need - food, housewares, fuels & hardware...not to mention the garden needs, plus an OUTSTANDING staff - oh, did I mention the BEST BBQ and DELI MEATS & SIDES AROUND?!!”
“Chris was very helpful with diagnosing and fixing our EGo mower. We dropped it off one day and it was fixed the next day! He also kindly sharpened the blades, which are now sharper than when we first bought the mower. Chris's help was very much appreciated! We will definitely return to Saines if we need any more help with the mower.”
“Very clean bathrooms and good service. Stopped in at the gas station part as this place is a gas station hardware store and grocery store all in one super cool idea and works very well”
“Great place for woodworkers. I love being able to go and hand pick what I need. Sometimes I will walk around just to see what catches my eye. Staff is there if you need help with anything, otherwise your free to walk around and find what ever you want. All they really ask is that if you dig through a pile of wood, just stack it back neatly. Seems like a fair deal to me.”
“Good verity of stuff and fair prices. If you go in there and have a problem DO NOT TAKE IT OUT ON THE CASHIERS!!! They will stand up for themselves and rightfully so!!! Ask for a manager or ask for the boss!!! Leave your problems at home or at least outside and walk in with a smile!! Thank you!!”
“I just came in to fill up the tank. The parking area didn't seem to be properly marked. People were just kinda parked any and everywhere. Made it hard to get to the gas pumps safely. At the time it was the cheapest gas in the area.”
“I got a free item today. Love them freebies. You didn't have to make a purchase to receive free item but I did. Sales associate very friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Marcia was the sweetest young lady! She was very helpful and made sure I had everything I needed! This Home Depot was very organized and easy to navigate! Thanks again Marcia!”
“Stopped by at almost closing time for a Co2 tank. Was helped very professionally. In and out in about 5 minutes. An easy place to miss if you didn't know where it's at! Drive slow so you see the signs on the right. Worth stopping at.”

“This is a while back, maybe a year ago, but I came here to buy a power drill and wasn't really sure what I wanted. One of their employees, a veteran, was very kind and friendly. He saw me and asked if I needed any help so we talked about what I needed and he made some recommendations. He helped me get everything I needed and walked me to the register. I had a great and easy shopping experience here. I went to the Morganton location on a separate occasion after my visit at the Hickory location to buy another power tool and didn't have a great experience. I will definitely drive farther to the Hickory location because of my great interaction with their employee. (I was in the area visiting my mom, which is why I went to this location).”
“Had an awesome experience with EA. Bought a grapple and pallet forks. From the first phone call to the implements being used on my tractor, I was so happy to deal with Everything Attachments. Thank you guys!”
“I was over in Lincolnton today and stopped by the Lowe's to pick up a few items that were out of stock at the East Lincoln Lowe's. I was not familiar with this store layout but in my moment of confusion here comes a smiling associate asking who needs some help. He helped me fill my list quickly. Thank you for the help when I was in a hurry and needed it.”
“Was looking for water filter salt and the employee walked with me to get but they were sold out. He looked it up to see if any other stores had and when they were going to get their shipment.”
“I have passed this store hundreds of times in my life, and have always meant to go in. Today was the day. I was waiting for my dogs to come out of the groomer, and had some time to kill.
What a store! Took me back to 1969 or so. A genuine old hardware store, stocked with most of what you'd ever need. Not a builder supply, but certainly a great place for locals to get their hardware fix.
Rolling ladders to access a thousand bins on each wall, just like the stores of my childhood and before...exotic animal mounts...antiques on the wall...antiques shelving and displays... what a refreshing blast from the good old days!
Purchased a Behrens metal funnel, at my wife's direction, lol.
Super friendly staff, clean store, well organized and authentic. It wont be another 60 years before I return.
Thanks for having us!”
