Greg’s True Value

This is a local shop for locals, but have a larger variety of items than one would expect for anyone who cares to stop in to take a peek. I love the fact that they do repairs and sell refurbished lawn mowers and snowblower too. They have always been extremely helpful. Especially the woman at the check out counter. There were two instances she saved me from having to travel someplace else by asking if I had found what I was looking for. I hadn’t, and she found it. Couldn’t be better than that. Today, she went way out of her way to make sure I was safe. Thank you for your kindness and being so helpful.

First let me preface my review. I hate hardware stores. If I could go the rest of my life without ever stepping foot in a hardware store again that would be great. The source of my dislike for them probably stems from the fact that I don’t know jack about these types of things and am one of the least handy people I know. With that being said, I clearly can’t go to Home Depot or any of the big box retailers. I aimlessly wander their aisles in search of my items or an employee. My Home Depot etc experience usually ends with me being pissed and leaving before I find anything. So that’s why I like place like a True Value. I walk in and am immediately greeted. I tell them that I need that thingy that does whatever and they walk me to the aisle. They don’t just point and send me on my way.

Consistency! From the 2 people in the back repair area to the woman at the check out lane RUDE and unfriendly! I am all for using local businesses BUT I won’t be going back!

Go here if you want to pay list and not street price. Even higher prices than
shows.
I gave this place another chance tonight. I needed some canning jars and didn’t feel like heading down to Oak Creek to Farm /​Menards. The corporate website listed a price I was willing to pay. Too bad this store was quite a bit more expensive.

Average Ace True Value hardware store. Kinda old and grungy with an older guy reading the bible behind the register.
They have everything you need when you need it.
I think of Ace stores as not quite your local yokel hardware store, but less corporate and more part of the neighborhood than a big box store, so I tend to shop here occasionally.
