My 18-year-old son recently embarked on his journey into welding college, and as a parent, I quickly realized how overwhelming the gear requirements can be. He was told he needed a high-quality half-mask respirator, but we hadn’t the foggiest idea where to start, which brands were reputable, or how a proper fit should even feel.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we were in great hands. We were greeted by the store manager, Karen, and I cannot say enough good things about her. In an era where customer service can feel rushed, Karen was a breath of fresh air. She was incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure my son was safe and comfortable.
What really made Karen stand out was her hands-on approach. She didn’t just point us to a shelf; she stayed with us, helping my son try on multiple brands and various sizes. She explained the nuances of the seal and the weight of each mask, ensuring he chose the one he liked best rather than just the most expensive one. Beyond the mask itself, she took the time to educate us on the different filter ratings, explaining exactly what he’d need for his specific classes.
To our surprise, Karen also mentioned a student discount, which is a huge help for anyone just starting out in trade school. It is clear that Karen doesn’t just manage a store—she builds relationships and supports the next generation of tradespeople.
Thank you, Karen, for turning a confusing shopping trip into an amazing, educational experience. You have earned our loyalty! If you are a student or a parent of one, do yourself a favor and go see Karen. This shop provides top-tier service and truly treats their customers like family. We will be back for all his future welding needs!
How you even run a business , you should educate your staff (the person with glasses) do not know how to treat customers. So unprofessional. They didn't refill the oxygen cylinder brand new with Dot -3 regulation marked on it.
