Hardware Stores near Collegedale, TN

“Can we be honest for a second?

Tractor Supply is one of the few stores left that still feels… real.

Not overly polished. Not fake. Just hardworking people, good conversations, and everything you didn’t know you needed until you walked out spending twice what you planned

There’s something about walking through those doors that feels different. Farmers. Families. DIY people. Pet owners. Folks rebuilding fences, feeding animals, working the land, or just trying to take care of their home the right way.

And the crazy part? The employees actually help you.

That’s rare now.

You can tell Tractor Supply understands small towns, community, hard work, and the kind of people who don’t mind getting dirt on their boots.

Honestly, stores like this deserve more recognition.

Anybody else walk in for ONE thing and leave with 12?”

“The gift shop and the green house/plants departments are my “Go To” locations everything I visit Highway 58 Ace…exceptional customer service! The other areas of the store provide excellent customer service, too. Often walking with you to assist product location. The cashiers are very personable, too”

“I am brand new to the area so I rented a dolly from here and bought a couple of household essentials. Cory, the manager on duty, handled the transaction and he was an absolute gem. He was such a joy to interact with that I was happily distracted from my anxiety regarding a move where literally everything went wrong in a series of laughably unfortunate events. It was such a welcomed distraction. Cory’s customer service is simply impeccable. He exudes kindness, engages with each customer in an authentically enthusiastic manner and he is clearly an awesome supervisor to the team he leads from what I observed. Everyone there was just great. I was so impressed with them that I'll be exclusively shopping at Ace from here on out. I was a store manager at Lowe’s for 3 years and would have loved having someone like Cory on my team - not just because of his relevant knowledge (which he is clearly informed about given the very helpful info he readily provided in response to my many questions) but just his remarkable attitude alone. I can’t emphasize enough how much of a positive energy he brings to the table and what a tremendous difference that makes for the entire store. I was inspired by his overall professionalism but I was even more impressed by how he communicates with his fellow employees. It was abundantly clear that he treats them with immense kindness, respect, and patience as they were completely comfortable asking him clarifying questions, joking around with him and just being themselves. Spending years working in management has taught me how valuable his personality type and admirable approach to leadership is. He’s clearly fostered a very happy & fun environment for the whole team. A manager’s demeanor can totally make or break the collective work-day experience for everyone involved and his is stellar. Cory seems like a genuinely amiable, fun, humorous and approachable guy who is knowledgeable in all the ways that matter and possesses the best leadership qualities that someone in management should have. He referred me to several employees who were particularly informed about plants (I’m trying to fine tune my green thumb so I can be a better plant mom, haha🪴) and encouraged me to sign up for the Ace rewards card, which actually saved me $10 on a beautiful Caladium I bought. Plus, he referenced a quote from a System of a Down song so you know he has excellent taste in music too 🤘🏻haha. I just wanted to write in and share what a truly awesome experience it was to chat with him and explain why I will absolutely be a frequent shopper here. Also, it's worth mentioning that their plants are GORGEOUS!!!!!!”

“I placed my order online but did call the store and spoke to someone about how long it might take to receive my chain hoist since it was not available in the store (shipped from the factory).
I got my answer that it might take 10 days to arrive. So I placed my order.”

“first to making a delivery here and it was really quick very friendly from the front office to the forklift driver..this is were they get you unloaded park the truck at the end of the line..”

“To the staff that helped me. I want to give a big thank you to you.
I’ve been soo nervous about building cabinets on my own, (first big wood working project ) and transporting them from HD to my house. They helped me with every step. To the guy with the grey beard, you literally rock! When I seen you today I lit up! Thank you for helping me find all the things I was looking for the day before and today!
To the staff at the pro desk. Thank you soooo much! I couldn’t have achieved this without you. Truly. These things wouldn’t have fit in my car. The kindness and patience that you had with me was much appreciated.
Come to HD to get your lumber and real hospitality!”

“Kendall as a company is ok, though sometimes they don’t have common items in stock.THIS location though has two of the best counter guys you can ask for. Steven and Michael are both A+ at their jobs and have helped Me out a lot. Would recommend this place to anyone based on them working there.”

“There’s always a chance you’ll run into 3 generations of the Thompson family any time you’re in there. Gotta love a family owned and operated business that runs so well. Check them out”

“I actually shop here for Benchmade knives and they have had what I needed and the lady was very helpful. Can’t speak for the sprinkler side but customer service is excellent.”

“Mike the assistant manager of Chattanoga store helped us today. Went above and beyond to find us everything we needed since it was not on display. The store showed 4 available . Highly recommend them from customer service to management.”
