So much more knowledgeable then the other shops and much more professional, they dont care to know you or anything you do which is refreshing they don't want to be your friends and are happy with a 30 second interaction at best. They dont try to sell you a dream or lie to you, they dont care what brand you use either! The answer is always its all the same thing man. Just pick a brand and stick to it. I like it. I like it alot. And they actually know what each product does and how it does it. Unlike the other shops in this area geez tell you what those other shops are big time flops. Especially Glendale. Ever since the old legend sold Glendale it was never the same bunch of rock lobsters running it nowadays. In any case f Birches get money.

Always a pleasure to shop here even though the parking can be a bit of a problem. Persist and visit the store. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and there is a range of free literature throughout. Spend time and read the labels. Makes a great hobby or livelihood.
