Went to sutherlands today

[mr ed]

Made my monthly trip to Sutherlands today and they are turning into Atwoods.
Less lumber, tile and hardware.
But more tee shirts, sunglasses and crap.

It’s about worthless as a hardware store now!

Your particular Sutherlands or like, is Sutherlands going away?

 

[MR.T.]

There is a NAPA store close to me that is going like this. Used to be all auto parts & full of auto parts, & what they didn't have, they could get by the next day.
Now it's 3/4 shirts & jackets & hats & yard ornaments, & the rest is your basic universal auto stuff.

The NAPA store in Guthrie is still old-school jobber style auto parts. The guys working the counter know their stuff.

I don't even bother looking in the shelves out front, I just go straight to the counter. I love that place.
