I love the local family feel of Allen & Petersens. They always have an inviting staff. I have bought many things for my home from A&P from our washer and dryer, stove, dishwasher and 10 + years they are still working great. We even found an over the range microwave a few months ago that fit perfectly. I have enjoyed learning about their cooking school and love love love their bbq and grilling section! When I was having trouble finding a knife set that fit my needs needing something light weight. Sarah pointed me in the right direction with her amazing knowledge.
