Personally, I choose Ace Hardware over the big box stores. Every
time
I'm in Lowe's, there is no help available, and if they're
available,
they usually don't know what you're talking about. Same thing with
Orchard Hardware Supply. In my town there is a very small Ace
Hardware, and every time I go there, they are very helpful, go
with
you to show you the item, and discuss the pros and cons with you.
They
usually have the everyday things that I need for repairs, and
they're
even cheaper. I find myself shopping there all the time now, do
others
like Ace better, or are you more into the big box stores? I'm
curious.

I couldn't agree more !!!! I think most Ace stores are locally
owned, I know ours is, so service, price, etc will vary from store
to store.

I love the service, friendliness, and don't mind paying a little
more to get it, and more of the money stays local, unlike the big
box stores.
