“Overnight low temperatures recently started and wouldn't you know it, my furnace decided to take a break. I spent a couple hours calling local supply houses for parts with no luck.
I called Tony from Jenin Supply and he may operate one of the few if not the only supply house open to the public. He had the induced blower motor I needed to repair my furnace, and at a great price. His professionalism and courtesy took me back to better days. I'll definitely shop at and recommend Jenin Supply to everyone I know. Thanks Tony.”
“They have certain items big box stores like Home Cheapo may not carry. Great grill section, nuts/bolts and other house maintenance items that every real man needs. You sont have to find help, they find you with a smile.”

“You may find better prices, where? I don't know. One thing you won't find is better service. Once you get someone to assist you, they will put all their heads together and help figure it out. Nothing but good things to say. If I need something specific, I skip Home Depot and come here.”
“First time going to this Ace as it's a little further than the closest one to me. Went in looking for a Stihl leaf blower for my dad and the cashier was really nice and got ahold of someone to walk us through the maintenance and details of this purchase. Once we purchased the BG50 (I believe it was the manager on duty) put some gas in it and took us outside, showed us all the functions and started it before we left. Although I knew how to operate a Stihl my father was very impressed by the service and this location has definitely become my new go to Ace.”

“I wouldn't compare Plaza True Value with big box stores (Home Depot and Menards) or even Ace, because they provide services that other stores don't, such as window screens, window panes, and rekeying locks. Super helpful and friendly staff too.”
