Workbench Ace Hardware

My new favorite hardware store! Okay, so I needed to rewire my dryer cord to a four prong cord (new electrical codes in new homes). And new recessed dryer vent has oval shape. Don’t like getting taken advantage of by electricians so I figured I’d DIY.
So, I went to the HD… they didn’t know jack. Went to Lowes… they didn’t know squat! Went to ACE… voilà!! People who knew what to do!!! Got my dryer all hooked up!
They are SO nice and SOOOO helpful! If you want real help skip the huge stores and get yourself to ACE!!!

This has to be my favorite hardware store because every time my boyfriend goes he is in and out within 3 minutes. Whether it’s getting firewood or some batteries, there’s never a line and it’s easy to find things. Plenty of parking.

I go by this ACE routinely as they have people who have some knowledge about things. Purchased a Stihl Leaf Blower. They took the time to walk me through the options w/​out pushing one model over another. Gassed it up and ran it for me. Made sure I was fine w/​it. Most places just don’t care. Appreciate their attention. When it is time for a new trimmer I will be back for a Stihl. Thanks guys!

This place has everything one may need for home improvement, but not exactly the most convenient hours or best customer service.
I called recently looking for garden items and they seemed almost miffed. As if I had the wrong number or something. I think the guy even chuckled when I explained what I was looking for. Well, they did. So I went. When I got there, I perused the store looking for what I needed without any of the three seemingly bored employees saying a word to me. When I approached the counter with my arm full of items, all the cashier could say was «looks like a Christmas present right thur!» Uhhhh yep. I know it seemed odd that I’d call them for gardening stuff, but I figured with their unique selection, I might find some cool stuff. Well I did. Expired seeds! (That I didn’t realize were two-​months expired until I got home.) Now I’m going to have to go back and return them. Excellent.
But their stock is crazy — everything from adirondack chairs to collegiate paper goods, Big Green Eggs, paint, Christmas décor, bird seed… you name it, they have it.
Oh but they close at 7:30 every night. So make sure you go on the weekend.

As a member of a church nearby, and now pastoring to seniors in the area, I have occasion to go in this hardware store for home repair and handyman items quite frequently. I’ve never been able to stump them on finding what I need amongst their bins and racks. They frequently mark down seasonal merchandise without advertising, so it’s an adventure in shopping sometimes. Fifteen years ago, I wandered in here and scored on a HUGE cast iron BBQ smoker that was their last in inventory for 75% off. These guys are real pros and super courteous.
