| - Washing Soap. They have it. If you're trying to do natural cleaning or make your own cleaners you will find washing soap here. - That is the entire reason I came to Ace Hardware, but now that I have been here I will probably be back for anything I may need "hardware" or "gardening"-wise.
This small store reminds me of days gone by. Yes, it may be a chain, but it is not Home Depot or Lowes. HD and Lowes overwhelm me most of the time, the tall, forever reaching shelves, the sterile concrete floors, the orange-clad employees running around, dodging most customers because in actuality - they do not have much experience in say, lighting or well, building shit, they're just there to make a buck, which I'm not saying is bad for them, it's just bad for business when your employees don't know much about the products.
Ace is different, it's smaller, it has that "hometown" vibe. At least this one does. I feel like I can deal with this store. I don't feel like I have to be pressured into re-doing my bathroom because my fixtures are out of date and the floor models look uber-fancy. I can easily navigate the small aisles, I don't have to be wandering around a warehouse-sized store looking for the correct bug spray for an hour.
I recommend Ace Hardware if you are tired of the warehouse stores. You won't find power-tools here or building supplies, but if you're a novice or you just need odds and ends around the house this store will do fine.
