Harry’s Ace Hardware

I have made one trip to Harry’s and they had what I needed. As many of my reviews have said before, sometime convenience is the name of the game. You pair that with the product you need, and «ding, ding, ding, ding» we have a winner!
Harry’s is right around the corner from my Mom’s house on the West Bank. They are not anything like the giant, home improvement box stores. But they do have a wide selection of hardware. I’m sure they have a good selection of many other things. But I was there for hardware. And unlike a lot of the box stores. Their’s actually stays pretty organized. So it is easy to find what you need.
No one was particularly helpful. But I also didn’t really ask. I will certainly come back here when a quick project is needed while on a visit down to New Orleans.

Now THIS is how a hardware store should be. It’s got a varied selection, people who can actually find things, and free popcorn.
Ok, the free popcorn is a nice touch, but it’s the friendly service and decent prices that really make me like it. I often find things here I can’t find at Lowly’s or Home Despot.
Careful of the hours though. They close early, around 6, which can be tough for those who work late, have a bad commute time, or an evening emergency.
But if you need something and want personal service, I’d recommend this location any day.

This Ace makes me wish I grew up near it. It’s WAY old school, fresh popcorn and all.
