Good Day

Our store now offers fluorescent light bulb recycling. Bring in your burnt out bulbs and we’ll make sure they don’t end up in the land fill. We accept both compact (CFL) and tube type fluorescent bulbs.

We also accept rechargeable batteries. These include cell phone, camera, power tool, and lap top batteries.

Another service we offer is UPS shipping. If you have packages with a prepaid label just drop it off and we’ll be sure the UPS driver gets it. These labels will have either “RS” or “ARS” printed on them. Or if you need an item shipped, put in a sturdy cardboard box, tape it up, and bring it on in. We’ll generate the address label and ship it out. UPS picks up from our store Monday thru Friday usually around 4 p.m. We will accept packages at anytime during our store hours though.

We are THE SERVICE PLACE. Stop in and see.

Waiting to serve you!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! My resolution is to do a better job at keeping this blog more current! I will also be trying to give everyone advanced notice of upcoming specials and also post some web-only specials.

I often get asked about the challenges of competing with Wal-Mart, Menards, and other large merchants. It’s a huge challenge and it’s something I think about and deal with on a daily basis. I think what it comes down to is service. Sure the staff is friendly at those places, but do they offer you service?

Our business is based on helping you to maintain and improve things in and around your home. We do that by asking questions and helping you decide what the best options are for you to do that. It may be selling you a new kitchen faucet or just explaining to you how to fix your old one. Our staff is made up of professionals with the knowledge to recommend and explain what products may best fill your needs. This saves you money. We do our best to be sure you have everything you need to complete your project, thus saving you time.

It is our hope that you may find value in our service and choose to patronize our business to help us compete with the marts and boxes out there.

Here is something special just for reading my blog. Print this page and bring it to the store and receive a 20% discount on a bag of water softener salt. Just about every home has a water softener; and it uses salt. So come in and save a couple bucks. Oh… and we’ll even carry it out to your car for you.

It’s good to be here.
