Its good to hear some good things on here about mega stores instead of constant bashing about how bad they are.
Altho I know they're not all great. But the system has never been perfect.
I'm old enough to remember when our local dealer started as 2 stores, Minot and Kenmare, in 1992.
Since then they've grown to 13, and altho there was some upheaval internally, for most farmers, nothing changed.
After hours is not a problem for parts at all, 7 days a week during planting and harvesting.
Well it helps when you wear green underwear, socks, shoes, pants, under shirt, shirt, coat, and hat all from the one dealer as well and you cheerlead them on here every chance you get.
I remember Sunrise and Haugen's, and what was Dickinson again before being DFE...doing exactly the same, only they had inventory. You don't realize how much equipment you used to buy from them until you start looking at the dealer stickers and realizing how long they have been gone, then again they all carried a pile of shorelines back then as well.
