Best Ace Hardware is a locally owned and operated hardware store that has been serving the communities of Lewes, Milton, Milford, Harrington, and Long Neck, Delaware since 1932. Over the years, the business has grown and evolved, but its commitment to providing world-class customer service has remained the same. Customers appreciate the store's quick and easy in-and-out experience, as well as the availability of the products they need. The online ordering system with convenient pickup is also a popular feature. While the majority of the staff is described as friendly and helpful, there have been some concerns about the attitude of a specific employee at the front counter, who has been reported as being "unbearable and downright nasty" to both customers and fellow employees. Overall, Best Ace Hardware is praised for its excellent small-town hardware store experience, with a good variety of products, organized layout, and competitive pricing. The store is a favorite among locals, particularly for its selection of hard-to-find items, such as a specific brand of dog food and tomato plants.
My favorite hardware store. I only needed a little bit of Rustoleum black paint and sure enough Best Ace in Harrington had the .5 pint cans. Less money, less waste.

The old fashioned hardware stores are the best to go and find the unique stuff and Felton Hardware is the best. But Ace Hardware both in Milford and Harrington out do Lowe's and Home Depot

On Tuesday 6/17/2025, I went in to Ace Hardware in Harrington, De.to purchase light bulbs. I took in my old bulb in a box. The salesman asked if I needed help (and I did). He took me right to them and found the one I needed! The young lady at the ckout counter was very kind and friendly as well.
