“Been in and out more than a dozen times, in good weather, and bad, and this owner's service has been consistent and good. First, someone usually greets you with free popcorn, a kid fav after soccer or Perryville Jui-Jitsu. Second, whatever this store carries, it usually has a deep shelf volume for - barbeque sauces, nuts/screws/bolt, and even chainsaw equipment. Third, I have always been engaged by someone asking to help me find something, and they act like they don't own a cell phone and genuinely care. Fourth, oftentimes a SKU price check at the Buchheit's empire shows ACE to be cheaper, which can help keep them honest to Perry County. Compared to Buchheit's, you can find targeted items easier and faster, and it seems clear that the owner is trying to stock fresh seasonal products and services in a convenient way.”
“I like their store, local people should shop there as often as possible. I was there yesterday and needed some help. Jack A was very helpful I intend to make there store my first stop.”
