This is one of the two Ace Hardware stores I shop at. I come to Paul's if I'm stopping by after or during work. I am in the middle of rearranging/decorating our guest bedroom. After I started moving things around, I realized that the outlet setup in the room is horrible! I needed an extension cord.
I made Paul's my first stop yesterday during my lunch hour errands run and pull into the parking lot to see a BBQ going on. I bypass the BBQ tents and head inside. I am greeted and told where I can find the extension cords. Another employee is standing in the isle I need, and asks if i need help. I tell him what I'm looking for and he says, "Well you've found the right isle!" He walked me down the isle and showed me the different selections. After I explained what would be plugged into the cord he pointed me to the Ace brand, which was the least expensive. 6ft cord for less than $2.00. I grabbed 2 and headed up front to checkout.
Checkout was quick and the cashier said to make sure I stop by and grab lunch for Contractor Appreciation Day.
So, for under $5.00, I got 2 extension cords...and lunch! SCORE! :)
I've bought anything and everything here. From having keys made, glass cut (a new section of pane), to gardening supplies. This is my during work hours and immediately after work Ace!
PS - The guest bedroom is officially in order now! I'm sure J's nephew will appreciate not sleeping on the floor tomorrow night. LOL
