Report
I really messed up shopping at the Monticello MN location. I assumed they had the same hours as Maple Grove (where I had been the previous week on a Saturday at 4:40 pm by happen stance) or Ramsey. I called the Monticello location (which is the closet location) to order a gallon bucket of a specific color of deck stain. Went to pick it up on Saturday at 2:30 pm only to find the store closed at 2:00 pm.
They are also closed on Sunday. I can understand closing on Sunday but the early closing on Saturday really baffles me especially if you are closing the next day. I won't be able to pick up the stain for another week and am now afraid I will will the perfect timing of no rain in the forecast. Lesson to self: pick your location of Hirschfields carefully. Would have given more stars but the inconsistent hours between locations makes no business sense.
