When I lived up North, Ted's was my store. 15 years ago and Mike was *****in and moanin back then about retail. But, they were knowledgeable and fun folks to shop with. I will always buy locally to support the local economy and support the local government with my sales taxes.

I did stop in at Ted's a year or two ago when I was in the area. Still gave me good service and they had the right selection.

In the South end, Auburn Sports & Marine gives me the same overall feeling as Ted's. I agree with Grandpa, Sportco is not the paragon of customer service, but has a lot of stuff.
