“After many years our electric mower died and we were looking for a new one. The store manager, Madeleine, helped us. She was incredibly knowledgeable and answered a variety of questions. I have always gotten great customer service here and this visit was no exception. Thanks Madeleine!”
“Small store, but they have everything you'll need. They are always ready to help you find what you need even if you aren't sure what it is.We've also used their watch repair guys many times to help change batteries and/or size watch bands.”
“Great place! Needed to buy Purina Outlast for my horse. Oregon feed store and Tractor Supply are the only ones that stock it besides Middleton Farmers Cooperative. Oregon feed store is 25 minutes from my house, Tractor Supply is even further. Plus TSC never actually has it in stock!! Middleton Farmers Cooperative is only 15-20 minutes from my house, and had Purina Outlast in stock!! Felt nearly impossible to get my hands on, but I know that I have a feed store that I can get it from. The woman working the register at the feed store was very kind and even carried the bag over to the register for me. I’ll see if I can get my other feeds from here so I no longer have to support large corporations like TSC and Farm and Fleet. I’d love to be able to support a local Co-op more often! Only complaint is their hours on the weekends. Would be nice if they were open a couple hours on Sunday, but definitely not the end of the world. Good hours during the week day.”
“There is absolutely no other place to go for watch issues. They are great, patient and they get the job done. And when it can't be fixed there one has the option of sending it out for repair.”
“This location used to be a retail location, but changed to a distribution center during Covid. I stopped in anyway, and they were helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. When you need a very specific bolt, this is the place to go.”
“Taco Tuesday is now one of my favorite lunches. They have authentic tacos, salsa, rice & beans. They are one of my favorite tacos on this side of Madison. Check them out you wont be disappointed! Jay and his crew are fantastic!”
“Good small station for convenience or fuel. Top-Tier as well, free of ethanol which is very nice for two-strokes or performance engines. Only real complaint is the amount of people that forget a larger and easier to access location is off of Pleasant View and can be very easily accessed by Market St. WAY too many people hold up the lane on University trying to turn across a double-yellow into the location. I feel like it might be a good idea at this point to make the enter/exit one way, if it gets any worse.”
“Remington all-in-one grooming kit is best on market. Leave goatee looking nice highly recommend. My cousin brought/put me on game about this product and I live by it. It’s easy to use and save power on battery life all round must have to groom goatee and bread”
