IF you could work a moonlighting job at Montgomery Ward’s in the past——go talk to your local Lowe’s store.
They have many part time openings & with a good background in those kinds of products, you might be very welcome. Everyone I know who has worked for them says they are a great employer.
The local ACE hardware-—35 miles from me, is staffed mostly with older, EXPERIENCED people. Retired painters—construction people, etc. They rarely give bad advice. That store also has a section for equipment rentals, where they can clearly demonstrate to you how to use a piece of equipment you might need to rent.
You got that right.
There’s a good local Ace Hardware store just 10 miles from me. I’d much rather go there than the Lowes or Home Depot 40 miles away.
