I still give plenty of business to my locally owned ACE hardware store. However, I give less business now to the big box stores. IF I NEVER step foot into another Walmart, Target, Home Depot or Lowes I would be okay with that.

I still give plenty of business to my locally owned ACE hardware store.

My preferred hardware store is a family owned store in business at its current location for over 100 years.

I love it, it also deals in antique tools, boots and cloths.

Most anything I need for a project (other than electronics or lumber) I can find there.
