I've always loved this store. Everybody is friendly & eager to help but on this nite when I needed a new head & string on my weedeater 2 associates went out of their way to help me. David & Kalyn didn't try to rush me out beings it was close to closing time & a Friday nite! Long story short there were complications since my machine is older not kept up but David stuck it out changed my head PLUS took extra time showing me how to restring on my own. I'm older & single so this all is an extra plus for me & very comforting to have available. I'm forever grateful for them & I've been looking for a self propelled push mower & bc of his knowledge & patience he'll prob be the person to sell 1 to me. THANK U DAVID AT THE JOPLIN ACE HARDWARE ON MAIDEN LANE. IT SHOWS I GAVE A 3 STAR RATING NOT TRUE TOTALLY 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!
