This store is pretty much my "go to" place when it comes to the small fix it things around my house. It's definitely great for the average DIYer and they have all the small things and parts you would need to do the little jobs around the house. They carry a good range and selection of items and they have now started to branch out and carry some good high quality items that couldn't be found before. They've redone the store and now have a "drive" that's much easier to get to than before. You simply find and purchase your item and then go to the "drive" to retrieve it. It's become a lot easier and more streamline. I like the layout of the store. They have spacious aisles and it's very neatly maintained. They've increased their sales people on the floor so now you can easily find a person to ask for help. These are just a few of the good improvements that they've made over the last couple of years. The two downfalls of the store is that they still have issues with too many out of stocks for their core items. They need to maintain their stock levels of things that are the most commonly purchased and need to work on this. The other downfall is that they are into too many venues. They have curtains, wall art, etc. Items that are more decor than fix-it stuff and it's using up valuable real estate when they could use that area to ramp up their power tool section or more hard core items that have to do with actual construction. All in all, though, it's a great place to go for finding the run of the mill items needed to get a small job done.
