Curry-Thomas Shopping Guide

Curry-Thomas: A Shopper’s Perspective

Why You Should Visit

Extensive Firearms Selection: You’ll find a wide variety of firearms, including uncommon calibers and niche cartridges that are difficult to locate elsewhere. I even found an antique revolver there! Pricing is very competitive.
Well-Stocked Tools Department: The tools section boasts a comprehensive inventory, making it a one-stop shop for many projects.
Convenient Location: For those in the Empire Point area, its proximity makes it a convenient option for quick hardware runs or firearm purchases.
Unique Atmosphere: Expect a step back in time. It’s an old-school store with a museum-like atmosphere, featuring interesting taxidermy displays and antique firearm mounts. The quirky decor with stuffed animals adds to the character.
Helpful Staff (Sometimes): While some interactions are positive, noting the experience of one reviewer helped in locating a specific firearm. The staff can be knowledgeable and helpful in providing information on Glocks and other firearms, even for someone who is unfamiliar with guns.
Specialty Items: You can find raw honey and all-natural products conveniently located at the counter.
Competitive Pricing: Shoppers can expect good prices on many items, especially firearms and tools. One shopper bought a Glock at a competitive price.
Convenient Parking: Parking is readily available right at the store’s entrance.

Inconsistent Customer Service: Be aware that customer service experiences vary widely. Some shoppers report exceptionally rude and unhelpful staff interactions, even with children present. Several instances of poor communication and a lack of compassion regarding sensitive situations were described.
High Prices on Some Services: Screen repairs can be expensive ($75+ for two small screens). Consider the cost before ordering.
Refund Policy Concerns: Refunds may be difficult to obtain, even in cases of significant errors (incorrect screen sizing, death of buyer). Be sure to check your purchase carefully.
Politically Charged Atmosphere: The store openly displays political paraphernalia, which might be off-putting for some customers.
Limited Selection: While the store has a good variety of commonly needed items, the selection isn’t expansive compared to larger hardware stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot.
