So far, everyone I have encountered there is great!! Thank you for caring about your customers in a time when a lot of places do not!! Greatly appreciated!!! You have a forever customer!!!☺️”
“Some of the reasons I chose to work for this company; From day 1 to 3 years later allfasteners has provided me with the tools and opportunities to grow within. The owner is continuously making improvements to ensure safety and quality work environment. For me personally I look forward going to work, the employees in the shop are like a big extended family. The managers are always a call away if any questions needed answered. If they didn’t have the answer right then and there they would be go above and beyond to get you the answer you need. The company also covers your medical insurance not just for you but your family as well. Small story the owner asked me if there was anything I needed to make my job easier, I told him I really could use a magnetic broom for steel shavings. The owner pulled out his phone, allowed me to choose the one I wanted and had it there the next day. Those are reasons why I choose to work for Allfasteners”
“City Hardware is a vintage hardware store with many hard to find items that the big box stores do not carry. The people that work at City Hardware are friendly and very knowledgeable.”
“I love Tractor Supply. I had just stopped for a bit at Rural King in Wooster to check their price on Layer Pellets, and it was so filthy and in such disrepair that I needed to stop here at Tractor Supply in Wooster just to make sure that the end of the world wasn't coming to all of rural America. Everything in this store was so neat, clean and organized. The employees were smiling and helpful. It's more like a destination than a store. Their Neighbors Rewards program by the way is awesome! Great coupon deals, free shipping two times every three months. FYI Tractor Supply had the best price on Layer Pellets per lb. so we loaded up.”
