I have purchased all my chicken feed here for years, the staff has always been friendly, & I love the store. I love that it’s pet friendly, everyone loves my dog, Mabel, & Mabel loves the dog treats at the checkout. Today was the last day I will enter that store. All throughout the pandemic, I have worn a mask to protect the businesses from unfairly receiving a fine from a customer’s non-compliance of a mandate not based in science. Today on the first day that I can live freely without imposing harm on the business I am patronizing, the cashier informed me I could not shop without a mask. Even when I explained to him how for a year I have complied out of concern for their well being, they no longer want my business. And he said “unfortunately not if you don’t wear a mask.” I was going to buy a substantial amount of chicken feed today, and instead I went to Elliott’s Hardware to make my purchase where I was not asked to mask myself with no mandate. I will not be doing any business with any business that tries to impose a mask on me with no government mandate. I am keeping a list of businesses to boycott, and unfortunately one of my favorite stores, Rooster, is first on that boycott list.

Rooster is one of those old-school home and hardware shops that still actually cares about the projects its customers are trying to achieve. All of the staff is incredibly friendly, the prices are fair, and the selection is huge. If you don't know what you're looking for or exactly what you need, not only will the staff help you in whatever way they can, they typically are very well versed in a multitude of projects, and can speak out of kindness, and experience. No, you wont get the giant store prices, but when the staff save you from having to come back dozens of times for stuff you neglected to buy on your first pass through, it'll end up saving you money and headache in the long run. Plus the store itself is always super clean, and had a lot of fun, quirky stuff in it that can keep the kids entertained while you shop. As well, if it has to do with bees, or chicken raising, they probably have it as well. Be sure to stop by and say hello to their actual, living rooster who resides in the middle of the store.

I received a recommendation to go to this store and it was completely accurate. The general manager and a woman in the paint department (I am sorry that I didn't get your names) helped me tremendously. I have not seen customer service on this level in a very long time. Thank you for being so generous with your time and for being genuinely good human beings. While I was there, I did see many other employees helping other customers and the feeling was the same - wonderful, joyful help. As far as products, they had really cool things and then every day practical things for your home and outside your home. I did some price comparisons and this store beat online and "big box" stores on the items I priced. I am delighted to have found this store and my personal recommendation is if you a choice of where to give your money in exchange for goods, this store is completely worthy and deserving. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will be back.

This place has been the BEST discovery...it might look small on the outside but this place has EVERYTHING for home and hardware! I was able to get kitchen tools, gardening supplies, new Adirondack chairs and dinners for my kitchen! The staff is so personable and helpful in every way...we love going in to see the chickens and chicks that they have for sale there...chatting with Garlic Mike about how they are raised and tended and then next time talked flowers and gardens with him! I love this place and can’t recommend it enough!

Small, local family feel store providing all your hardware needs. Great location in the heart of Old Lake Highlands. The staff here are so friendly and knowledgeable. Always someone there to give a helping hand and answer any questions you may have. The store is only so big as it’s not a Home Depot or Walmart, (that’s the appeal behind it) but when I go looking for an item I assume they won’t carry due to their limited space, I’m always pleasantly surprised. I always find what I am looking for here.

I stopped by rooster today for the first time, and got some great help from Peter. He helped me find an unusual bolt for my car and a solution to help with some stripped parts that were no longer fitting together very well. It was so refreshing to be greeted, and then also helped immediately, compared to my experiences at Home Depot which usually include getting completely ignored and then waiting in line for a while. They even sell really high quality dog food!

This is my go to place for random hardware in the neighborhood. They have a little bit of everything. If you need something last minute, give them a try. So far I've always been able to find a quick fix here. They have a good selection of BBQ stuff too. The staff makes this place though. I've never had a bad experience here. Tell them what you need and they will get you to the best person. If they don't know or don't have it, they are honest. Highly recommend

I shop here everytime I can. I just love being in this store and interacting with the staff. It gives me small town charm in the middle of Dallas. Their paint service is excellent. My kid loves the toy section and visiting with the chicks. I also shop here for many things I used to go to Lowe's and Petsmart for. I also appreciate the gardening classes and Santa that visits. Yay Rooster!

I'm not a hardware store aficionado, but I really liked being in here. the aisles were super easy to navigate and there were some unexpected delights in the trip: a little house of jumping, tumbling, shrieking chicks; locally made soaps and balms; little animal themed housewares; a broad selection of gardening tools. prices were a couple dollars more than Lowe's but not bad at all.

Beautiful store great employees. It is a little pricey. If you're looking for Texas items for yourself or as a gift they have a great selection. Actually you can find lots of unusual gifts. Old fashioned toys and simple puzzles, HomeGoods,. It is fun to go into the store. Has a nostalgic feel to it

Great hardware store. Has a local feel, not like Home Depot or Lowe's. The staff are helpful and knowledgable. They have a bunch of chickens in the middle of the store. Creates a certain smell, which I like. Fun store to take the kids with me when I need supplies for the honey-do list.

Since the redesign and rebrand this place much better. Customer service is great. The new store layout is great and easier to navigate. The variety of items one can find there is great. Its one of my go to places for uniques gifts. They have more than just hardware.

The staff is very nice and they sell an array of items for your home and outdoor space. The store is very clean and organized. You also have to wear a mask before entering. They have a cooking oil recycling station nearby. You have to stop in to take a . …

I just left a gardening class from this charming store. All of the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I was getting information from old friends. I will buy all of my gardening and hardware needs from this store going forward!!!

I took my little girl to get some of the chicks they have for sale. When we were there they only had two species but had a schedule of the incoming chicks. Well will definitely be back for more chickens as well as our supplies to keep them going

Such a charming store! Staff is so friendly and even took time too let my young son see the baby chicks and tell him about different breeds. A neat place to find hardware items that the big box stores don't carry and tons of unique gift ideas.

I’ve never been to a store with such nice employees. They were sweet on the phone and in person. Definitely worth the 40 min drive for me. Bought baby chicks and everything we need that bob suggested. They were knowledgeable and so nice

My go-to place whenever I need keys cut, they are fast and super friendly and always get the keys cut precisely right so I never have to return. Plus, I enjoy checking out the chicks and other interesting novelties they have !!

Got some of everything especially for outdoor work (but also cleaning and other inside handy work things) Got some spray paint plants and stuff for my chickens. (They also sell chicks!)

This Store has a little of everything including unique gifts. Not a typical hardware store although they have everything you need in the line of hardware. Fun store to visit and shop

I absolutely love this place! It has the cutest chicks, gift items and great selection of stuff for your home!

Love shopping here! You can always find someone to answer to your question and walk you to the item you need.

they have everything. i am in 3-4 times a week. the staff has a great working knowledge of the stock.

Great hardware store to go to when in need of fixing things in the home, excellent customer service,

We live about 20 miles from this store and I’d rather shop here than any other hardware store.

I can always find what I need and also things I didn't know I needed until I find them!

Staff was helpful and knowledgeable! Great experience. Thank you!

I didn't stop in, but you can find a good assortment of goods

Great hardware store, with very knowledgeable staff.

Great hardware store. Wish they were closer.
