Well, the thing about Ace hardware stores is that they're franchise stores. Each store has an owner. They do vary from store to store, no doubt. I guess I have a good one here.

Mine is good here. Just a bad experience with a lawn mower repair. Other than that they have been good. And in their defense, they "outsource" the lawn mower repair to a small engine guy locally. They don't actually employ him or do any of the work.

The owner of my local Ace is a long hair guy who is likly a hippy. But his daughters are hot and they work the registers!
