Southern States Cooperative Reviews

The help I received was wonderful. But they had not watered their nursery plants, shrubs and trees for awhile. They had pots with dead plants mixed in with the ones on their way. It looked like the end of the world. It was not conducive to buy anything that you weren't sure would live. Another lady who was in the garden with me said it was very depressing - I agreed. I asked the manager why the garden was so dry. . . He told me to my face that it was watered 3 times a day and he repeated this to me. First, watering 3 times a day would drown and kill the plants. Second, it would take most of a day just to water once. I guess he thought I was pretty stupid. Third, S.S. paid for all these high quality plants to make a profit but dead or dying plants don't sell very well. I hope the manager is in the learning process but his year end report will show his lack of good business sense. His rudeness is your problem. He could have just agreed with me and promised to get right to it. Remember the old saying - the customer is always right. . .

After searching I got what I needed. Hard to find help. No one was around. Will go back to get something I can't find elsewhere.

Not a place I would go regularly but I can see myself visiting occasionally just for grins

The place to go for bird seed and accessories. Staff always so helpful!

Like the business but could not get any help! A customer help get something from a high shelf for me! Left and went to strangers florest!

What a great experience! My better half and I had gone to stranger's. We were treated terribly! They were rude and not helpful at all. The whole experience at SS was fantastic! They made us feel at ease and have completely earned our business! We can not do DIY with confidence!

Nice convenient store.employees great very helpful.found a great deal on a couple flags.

This store is awesome. It is filled with a bunch of associates that know what they are talking about in terms of plants, fertalizer, and more. I went in to buy some fertilizer for my yard and they had about 30 different bags. An associate asked me a few questions and immediately narrowed it down to 3 different products. He then explained the difference for each and suggest the best product for my situation. Awesome customer service and more importantly they are very knowledgeable. I will keep going here just for the knowledge of using the correct product. Go find that at a big box stores.

We were disappointed we couldn't find slate stepping stones or tiles...but we love SS for spring planting needs...

Had what I needed. Checkout lines were long until they opened up a couple more registers.

Always ready to help with any questions and suggestions for any project.

Not friendly. It was close to closing time and lady at register rushed me.

Friendly employees and a helpful location for the mobile Vet clinic

There business hours are very bad they open late and close early .

This is in response to Kevin French's review.
Good! I'm glad that they won't let maskless people in, I wish all stores would do that. People that don't wear a mask are selfish and stupid, and you do not have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing one for a few minutes. You're just mad because your privilege is mildly inconvenienced

It's fine for an old peoples store. They have a very limited selection of any thing. Service is very slow paced mostly due to old employees. I have nothing against older people having jobs just stating facts. I stood in line for 15 minutes behind only the one person out the counter because they had to talk about everything old. I have a very limited amount of time in my life to get anything done so I will not be using this place again .

It had it exactly what we were looking for and staff helped us get the right things for our purchase.

Everyone in the store was nice and helpful. Even the man who loaded my car was nice. They have a nice lil process to get you in, out, and on your way. Prices are great, too!

You don't shop here for the price but for the knowledge

I love gardening and this place has quality materials needed for gardening
