Mayana Chocolate thieves beware! We are watching you! 👀

Sweet Exchange Market, we agree, small businesses are the heart of our community, and every product on a shelf represents someone's hard work, investment, and dream. Theft isn't a victimless act, these chocolate bars are more than affordable!

We stand with Sweet Exchange Market and all locally owned businesses! Hayward is fortunate to have passionate entrepreneurs who bring unique products and experiences to our community, and they deserve our support and respect.

Let's continue looking out for one another and choosing to support local whenever we can. Together, we help keep our local businesses AND community strong. ❤️

With anger to all thieves-
The Northern Lakes True Value Team

Thank you to the customer that brought me these wrappers from the back room. To the person that took these (and ate them back there) I do have cameras, I see you!

Small businesses already face enough challenges without theft added on top of it. Many of the items in my store belong to local vendors and makers who work incredibly hard to create and supply their products. Please remember that taking from small businesses doesn’t just affect one person — it affects an entire community of small business owners trying to make it. ❤️

We're at full peak season, (usually lasts until fall 😅), every single day we receive shipments! That means:

✅ Fully stocked shelves with the products you need.
️✅️ NEW Products!
✅️ Bins, bins, bins, and MORE bins.

When you see an employee with a green bin and a cart, be sure to thank them, they are always hustling to make sure you have what you need! (And, of course, they are always ready to help when you have questions!)

Can you guess how many bins are in this pile? Closest guess wins a $50 gift card to the Social Kitchen & Cocktails! We'll end this contest on May 31st!

Let's take 8 hours of work and smush it into a 15 second video!

Huge thank you to Seth and Alisha from S and A Interior Paint and Design for the amazing work updating the exterior of our warehouse! Projects like this happen behind the scenes, but make a big difference in both the appearance and day-to-day operation of our True Value store (and the community!). Ongoing updates are always necessary to keep our buildings looking sharp, functioning well, and reflecting the pride we take in serving our community. Thank you both for your hard work!

If you're in need of any painting project, we highly recommend Seth and Alisha. Not only are they FUN to work with, they get the job done with precision and great care!

Fun fact, Chris Hofer DOES NOT like the feeling of squishy things. So of course we had him do the first reveal of the ever so popular, Dumplings!

Available now, we've got em!!!

(Although Chris may not necessarily have haptodysphoria, here's an explanation: The discomfort or aversion some people feel when touching squishy, slimy, or gelatinous textures is generally considered a form of haptodysphoria.)

Thanks for going out of your comfort zone, Chris! We encourage small, little steps, to face your fears today.

🌿💚 Thank You for Shopping Local! 💚🌿

We had the pleasure of meeting these two wonderful sisters who were on their way to Bayfield, heard about our greenhouse and added us to their stops!

After walking through our selection, they shared how impressed they were with the variety, quality, and beauty of the plants and décor we have available this season. Hearing comments like this reminds us why we work so hard to make our Lawn & Garden Center a destination worth visiting.

When you choose to shop local, you're doing more than buying flowers and garden supplies, you’re supporting a locally owned cooperative that reinvests in the community we all call home.

From all of us at Northern Lakes True Value, thank you for making us part of your spring traditions. Whether you're from Hayward or just passing through, we’re honored you stopped by! 🌸🌼🌿

An enormous amount of work goes into the ex*****on of opening the greenhouse, THANK YOU, to our incredible staff that makes this all possible!
