I always enjoy my visits ti English. There's always someone to ask for help and they're pretty friendly about it. I've found their prices, at least for lumber, on par with the giant stores that are a million miles away.

These folks are so helpful and friendly! They will do everything they can do help you on your project. A great local business to support. Prices can be a bit higher than some other places, but it's worth it to not have to drive all the way to Lynchburg.
