It is a real shame this store is closing on January 25, 2019 . I recently decided to dip my toe in the leather craft pool and the consensus from my research online said Tandy was the place to go . I thought myself really fortunate to have one just on the other side of town and decided to make a visit. I was greeted right away by a gentleman I unfortunately do not remember the name of and he was more than knowledgeable and willing to help a newbie like me . He asked me what I planned on making and showed me the basic tools I would need to start out with. At no time was there any pressure and he even showed me some discounted items that needed to go because of the closing and that would benefit me. Again, it is a shame this place is closing because I would be willing to pay the regular price if it meant this place would stay open. With the nearest Tandy Leather store being in Indianapolis after the closing, I wish I had found the Fort Wayne store sooner so I could have taken advantage of everything it had to offer . This is a hobby I am really looking forward to and having a local store would have been extremely beneficial . Regardless, I had a good experience at this store and will try to make it in before the doors close permanently. If all the stores are like this one, I will have no problem recommending them in the future to anyone wanting to start this hobby as I have.
Best place to be if you need to know anything about leather. I come in all the time and only ever see Desiree and Devon who are always willing to help with any of my queries. Great place to find tools materials and information and Ill always come back.
Love the store! Samantha and her staff are always willing to help each and every customer on an individual basis. Very courteous and professional!
First time visiting here today. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Great selection for all kinds of leather crafting. Will definitely be returning.
I went to the Tandy Leather store in Fort Wayne yesterday and it was the best experience Ive had at any of their stores. The manager, Samantha, was very personable and professional. Usually I have to drag my feet to the store because it tends to have a detrimental effect on my wallet, but I know Ill have no problems traveling to the store in Fort Wayne; all in all, it was a very pleasant experience that I hope to repeat soon!
Love this place. But it says you close at 8 on Google and I drove over an hour and you apparently close 6. So you should really update your listing.
Just started doing some leather working. Tandy has been an awesome place to go for me. They have had everything I need. The staff has always been very happy to not only tell me how to use tools and do things, but actually showing me how to use the tools. Also I always show up with 15-20 minutes before they close due to my work hours. I never feel rushed like other places near closingOn another note, the only bad review is from someone who only gives 1 star reviews. Also they are commenting on things that are out of control of the store, and in no way reflects the store. Some people are just eternally pissed at the world.
Your people are the worst in getting items shipped. I ordered check book on Monday last week, talked to you you said I would get it the next day, guess what I didnt and I have a class to teach tomorrow, just hoping it gets here in the morning or I am going to have to make one up out of the stock I have hear. Sorry you guys are losing my business there goes $200.00 on the order.
Love this store! They have it all! Nice people work there too!
This place is great. Why would they be closing the store.
Great customer service, and I do mean great. Willing to help with any questions or concerns, and exceedingly polite.
Crew is great, answered all my questions.
Great place! Everything you need!
Helpful but not pushy employees
Out of business no warning
They are the best !!
Always fun
