Home Improvement Store

For those who have houses, I highly recommend Busy Beaver. It's a local chain of home improvement stores. Unlike Lowes and HD, they actually have customer service. Shock! It's not possible to walk to the back of the store without three people asking you if you need any assistance. Not only that, but the employees look like they enjoy working there.

They're smaller than the big chains, but they're willing to special order for some items. They've also been cheaper on a couple items, though usually the prices are about the same. Keep an eye out for their sales.

There's a store in Edgewood Towne Center for anyone in the East Boroughs. Otherwise, I think there's one in West Mifflin.
