| - Their hours aren't the greatest (M-F), the neighborhood looks a bit rough, the place isn't the fanciest, but who cares. I usually find myself here a couple of times a year to up my supplies on some staples. For my generic, day to day brushes, their prices can't be beat. Also, and my favorite part, is their sharpening/repair department. For the most part, they've been able to fix what I've brought them, make it sharper, or be honest why something can't be fixed. The only disappointment, which wasn't their fault, was when they couldn't get replacement parts for my 20 year old Double K Challengair 9000.
The staff in the warehouse have always been professional, helpful, and polite every time I've gone.
While they don't carry many of the products I use for my show dogs, they do carry one of my favorites, and harder to find product lines, Coat Handler. I'm also a big fan of their grooming tables. Their electric low-low super electric table was a big splurge, and worth every penny. That thing easily handles any thing I put on it. The thoughtful details they put into their tables is appreciated, especially when one spends hours, upon hours weekly working on them.
Hints when shopping here: take your catalog with you. This place is a working warehouse and their primary goal is to not have price tags on everything. They do a good job, but if you need to know prices, or bulk discounts right away, look in the catalog. It can get hot in the warehouse in the summer, be prepared. If you are bringing a bunch of blades or shears to be sharpened same day, give them a couple days notice. They will do what they can, but can't promise they can get it all done the same day. You can bring a leashed, well behaved dog into the warehouse.
