We have been customers of Stark’s for decades, going back to the days when we would visit large store between (what was then) SE Grand and SE Union Avenues, and there were not as many convenient neighborhood locations. Since then, we have purchased various cleaning aids, had repair work performed, and obtained spare parts (such as drive belts) for the machines in (almost daily) use in our house. When our youngest daughter moved out, her first vacuum cleaner came from Starks. The folks behind the counter at the SE 83rd & Stark Street location are unfailing in their courteous customer service, and the pricing is always fair. [One note: Just recently (on a Monday afternoon), the Montavilla Sewing Center (at the Montavilla location) had been partitioned off from Starks. That may have been a temporary measure since there was a sewing class in progress at the time. The partition caused patrons to use specific exterior entries to the emporium of their choice rather than being able to commute freely between the two businesses within the building.]
