Likely Jan LukasI wish we still had non-mega #hardware stores around here but if we do, I am unaware of them. âšī¸
A quasi-related story for you: decades ago, our first (IIRC) big box hardware store dropped down into #Edmonton (on St Albert Trail). It was called Eagle Hardware.
Now I don't know the *actual* reason they failed so quickly, but I can tell you that it was blatantly obvious they'd done zero research on Canadian, and also specifically Albertan, product requirements.
Zero #Robertson screws or screwbits. đŗ
At least one HUGE aisle full of #rat traps. đ
Both these points remain hilarious to me.
The staff were, however, polite and *attempted* to be helpful, which is not always the default today in other big box stores.
