prices are kinda high, which isnt such a big deal at a small local place like this. the big problem is the staff is sometimes pretty rude and un-helpful. last time i was there the power went out for about 30 seconds and the computers reset. i had cash in hand and was in a hurry. they refused to do the transaction without the computer, saying they cant open the register. this is a lie because there is always a key incase of computer/power failure. ive had many retail jobs. im well aware of this. the older woman with black glasses and a grey pony tail was very curt with me about it. there were 5 employees standing around a screen vacantly starring off. they could have easily done a cash transaction with a phone calculator, ( or with the use of 4th grade level arithmetic) but instead decided to act like jerks. i turned around and left my items on a random shelf. never coming back. a different, very nice woman with white hair and glasses at the paint desk apologized to me on my way out of the store, so at least theres that. NOTE: also if you go here looking young/ not very clean cut; you WILL be treated differently for the worse. doesnt matter how many "pleases" or "thank yous" they hear. this is only some staff members, not everyone. its certainly noticeable though.

Great hardware store for those quick miscellaneous project needs. Extremely friendly employees that are always more than willing to assist customers above and beyond. Great paint selection and really nice selection of small quantity and unique screws. TIP: Show your University I-CARD for 10% off your purchases (there are some exclusions).

Were a local business that does a lot of repair and fabrication work. Do It Best has always been our go to spot for anything hardware related. The staff are friendly and helpful and they carry a wide variety of products which makes it a convenience one stop shop for us to do business with.

Great selection of bolts and nuts in various materials that most places do not carry like stainless and many non ferrous metals. They have a very nice tool rental department that a contractor such as myself can really appreciate.

Great people work here that go out of their way to help. This is a wonderful community hardware store that also has mulch, some plants and a paint section. Help keep them in business.
