Rural King

Rural King has a nice selection. However, for the second trip in a row, Customer Service and availability of employees to assist with questions has been sorely lacking. On my last trip (when their parking lot was under construction) no one asked if I needed help to my vehicle with the 300# of Equine Fresh. The weight lifters at Club Fitness saw me struggling and came to help. This time,
once again, help was hard to find and everyone seemed stressed and too busy to help customers. I finally did get help. But it took quite awhile.

What do you need? I am sure Rural King has it! This was my first visit and I didn’t get too far into the store bec we were on a mission looking for a specialty potato chip — Kitchen Cooked Original Classic Potato Chips. They had them.
They also had a really nice variety of unique snack foods… Dill Pickle seasoned peanuts… hmmm! :)
It seemed they have everything! Its like a Walmart on steroids! Farm equipment/​fancy flip flops/​chips/​dips/​chains… :)
I think next time I will save some time to roam every aisle to see what unique things I can find!

Great place, great prices, little messy and feel like a warehouse… I love it!

After some disappointing experiences with Lowe’s, I wanted to try a different store. I’ve come to like Rural King.
Most of my recent lawn and garden purchases were from here. My kids love the bird feeder section (this has become our exclusive supplier). As noted in the other review, there is a wide range of inventory.
A big plus, it is more easily accessible from the freeway than most of the stores on the northside of the freeway. For me, much easier to get in, and out, than the Home Depot or Lowe’s on the Wentzville Parkway.

Rural King has something of everything for the average Lincoln/​St. Charles County hick. I should know.
On one side of the store you can get a leather coat for under $ 100 (happy anniversary to my husband!), tons of spray paint (what doesn’t look good in aqua?) and if you head to the opposite side of the store you’ll find every plumbing supply imaginable and gear for your horses or dogs. If you’re into fun you can even bring your dog to the store to join you on your hick shopping expedition.
Head to the middle area of the shop and you’ve reached country store central. I got a bird bath for $ 10 today and it’s the only place in town to have one of those old fashioned fry daddys (my birthday gift, are you getting the hick vibe yet?). I’ve bought more mason jars than I can count here and today I discovered they also carry 9 types of bottled and canned Faygo for all you ICP fans.
Outside you can usually find whatever seasonal plant is out there so it’s a perfect place to stock up on flowers or even pumpkins for the fall. Rural King is the one store that keeps me a truly effective and classy hick so if you’re looking to convert to my lifestyle then this is probably the place to be. They even have free popcorn to munch on!
