What's amazing is how Home Hardware packs everything one could need into such a small footprint.  And what they don't have in store, they've ordered pretty darn quick for me.

I am greeted by a smiling owner and employees who actually bother to walk me right to the item I'm seeking every time I need shopping assistance.  Compared to the big box depot's find-it-yourself 'customer service' counter (which told me to look in the electrical cable aisle for rope & chain last time I went...ha ha, very funny guys) it's a very refreshing change.

This is a great Canadian business with great products and a folksy charm to it.  Long live Home Hardware.
