“I appreciate the smallness, ease, and convenience of shopping here compared to the big box hardware store just kitty corner from this Ace. I can park right by the front door, leave my dogs in the car for a few minutes knowing they’re safe, run inside & get what I need fast, with helpful staff on the scene, without having to walk the vast parking lot & cavernous aisles at the big place across the street.”

“I needed a several pieces of glass cut to size. Neither Home Depot or Menards would do it but Lowe's was able to (straight lines only, no curves). At the Lowe's store I visited first, the glass cutting equipment was broken so they sent me to a different Lowe's store and they were able to help me. So there was some extra traveling and time wasted, but still, 5 stars for Lowe's overall for offering this service.”
