The retailer in question is North American Builder's Supply. A regional like LaValley up here in New England. Their financial troubles are a pity since the regionals usually service underserved areas. Beyond that, they're an ankle biter compared to Depot and Lowes.

If our local Ace doesn't have something, I usually shop LaValley since they're closer, competitively priced, and service is second to none. Like our local Ace, the guys there know what the hell they're talking about. Depot is 45 minutes away. Lowes is 2 hours in either direction. That doesn't bother me one bit.
