buy just one screw nowadays? Or one bolt? They have almost everything to get the project done, hardware wise. The staff have always been helpful, and are will to work with you to find what you need. I don't go anywhere else anymore.

I've shopped in this store for years. The owners have to be, hands down, the best people who go out of their way to please the customer. Their store is like touring a candy store because the tactile lure of everything soft and comfortable is woven throughout their pleasing store environment. Shop Scandia Down Anchorage.
Pros: Wonderful owners, best quality merchandise. Think of a freshly made latte... that's the store experience.

They do an excellent job of keeping enough items in stock that when you're looking for something like a rare machine light bulb, etc.., chances are good that they'll have it.
In the instance that they don't have an item, they'll actually call over to other sewing centers to track the item down.
They no longer hold sewing classes at their location, however, they do maintain a current list of ongoing classes and instructors. I say kudos to them for that!
Riehl Sew'N Vac isn't on the main drag and you probably need to check the map the first time you head over there.
Overall, I give them a great rating because they run an excellent shop, they are professional and friendly, and they bend over backwards locating those hard to find items for you.
Pros: If they don't have it, they'll find it for you
Cons: No longer hold in-store sewing classes

Anchorage is so long overdue for a mega Walmart like this! I've been to other superstores on the east coast, but I'm actually more impressed with the one we have right here in Anchorage. Maybe it's because we don't have sales taxes here.. or maybe it's that they beat out all the other grocery stores on (most) prices.. whatever it is, I love the new Wallyworld and am happy to see them open!
If I had to ding them on something.. it would be that their seafood department is nothing more than a freezer section. Unlike all other grocery stores, they don't offer fresh wild Alaska seafood displayed on ice. Come on guys --- this is ALASKA where we like our seafood FRESH and WILD CAUGHT !!
I'll give them a pass on that though because the rest of the store is so well stocked and has a very nice layout.
Anchorage is loaded with grocery stores; including countless Carrs/Safeways and Fred Meyers (I lost track of how many of each we have), two Target superstores, two massive Costcos, two large Sams Clubs, two New Sagaya oriental markets, a large Natural Pantry, a midtown Walmart and New Seward Mega store, and tons of smaller asian and hispanic grocers as well as a smaller neighborhood "Red Apple" market. There is definitely no shortage of shopping options in this city. But I say kudos to Walmart for keeping their prices so low that they have all the other places running sales! ;o)
I really like the fact that our Walmart sells local dairy milk (Matanuska Maid) cheaper than any other grocer in the city! I also like that they stock a good deal of Alaska grown vegetables.
I still shop other stores when there's a deal too good to be true, and of course... for super fresh seafood, I'll go wherever the best deal on wild (NOT FARMED) Alaska seafood can be found.
:o)
Pros: The place is MASSIVE and the prices rock!
Cons: Seafood Department is a bummer

Matt was very responsive to my questions and roofing needs. His staff was very professional and timely. Matt was able to accomodate my need to weather proof (ice shield) the new roof area as soon as I needed it and then return to do the shingles on the old and new roof when appropriate. I appreciate that and would (and have) recommend T&M to my friends.

Probably one of the best in decor of the Anchorage area coffee shops. Hard covered table tops and a worldly atmosphere gives the coffee drinker a lot to take in with his cup. The coffee is pretty smooth at Cafe Del Mundo. They do their own coffee and are local. This cafe is more for the straight or blended coffee drinker, rather than the mocha or mixed flavor espresso, at least with my impression, for mochas and such really aren't their strong suit. I am a mocha and flavored coffee drinker:) Get their regular coffee. That is what they are good at. They also have the Italian gelato. It is a good place to take a long chat with someone or to discuss business.
PROS: decor, gelato, spacious dining
CONS: Not a mocha shop, no real lunch menu, closes early
