| - Close, Cheap and Convenient keeps me coming back to Howard's, and with a name like Howard's, it speaks DIY and Home Improvement. Sure there's those other "big box" stores, but sometimes it's just too big (TWSS). Parking at Howard's is a breeze, even with the construction going on, and getting in and out on Indian School Road is not too bad, either (I'm never in a hurry, though).
Unlike most Ace Hardware stores, this location is smaller, but like most, compact and well stocked. Always plenty of employees to bug you and ask if you need any help. I particularly like Howard's because of his nuts. He'll sell you just one, which is sometimes all I need, not a whole bag like those aforementioned "big box behemoths".
Hopefully with the new construction finishing soon, they will stay small and maintain their great personal service. The parking lot will improve, and access could be better, but not by much.
