At Brownie's you will find fabulous, helpful, honest staff that are and always in a great mood. This place has everything...just ask if you can't find it! And take time to look around too ? you will come across tons of things you never knew you needed!
Great service.

I love this place. Best hardware store I have ever come across. The staff are always always willing to take time to show me how to do something, what exactly I need and don't need for a project.
Pros
+ Help, convenience, knowledable staff
Cons
- a bit more costly
