Holy Crap! This place is huge... think a city block of hardware, paint, housewares, garden supplies, hobby accessories. Just about anything you can think of and, surely, stuff you would never think to find in a place with Ace Hardware on the sign.
If you are driving by, stop in and check it out. You too will at some point utter - Holy Crap! -

Holy Ace!!!
This is by far the largest Ace store I have ever seen and spent hours walking through. I mean this place has it all. They even have one whole store devoted to Christmas!!
The staff was incredibly friendly and accessible.
I know where to go the next time I need light bulbs, mulch, paint, a toaster! You name it, Ace IS the Place! -

I won't lie, I went in HOPING someone would offer to help me because I had NO idea what I really needed. I had just bought a drill and of course needed drill bits. As I stood in the aisle, pretending to know what I was looking for, a super nice Ace Hardware employee came along and pointed me in the right direction! The price was right, I was shown a back up plan and was out of there in no time! I can't say I'll be in there anytime soon BUT if I do, I know I'll be taken care of!

I love this joint! Every time I walk in I am greeted with a cheerful hello. Some of the guys know me and tease me sometimes. It is so nice to feel like it is my neighborhood store in this ever increasingly anonymous world.
I always find what I need including supplies for my business (craft) and the staff are so knowledgeable. After several experiences where husband or I went to Lowe's or Home Depot and were underwhelmed to annoyed by the lack of selection and service, we now go to Ace 1st. The staff seem to actually get satisfaction from finding a solution to a problem. They are a little pricier but definitely worth it. -

I love this store. Under one roof, I can find tools and supplies for my ongoing home repair, cooking utensils and plastic models. The prices are competitive. I can find an employee to help me find things.
I can find fans in the winter. This came in handy when the air-conditioner stopped working.
I enjoy shopping locally. I particularly enjoy it when the service is head and shoulders above the big box stores and when the local merchant carries stuff the big chain doesn't. -

This Ace is at 22nd & Kolb. It is larger than most Ace stores and has 4 sections: Hardware, Paint & Garden, Housewares, & Hobby.
Employees line the aisles, waiting to help you. Stations are manned. A helpful person waits to make a copy of your key and cut you a length of chain. At the paint station, a cheerful lady will match your paint to some other company's paint chip. Really.
This Ace has everything, EVERYTHING, even rabbit ears and garden trolls, replacement gaskets for a moca, piano lamp light bulbs, and heating coils for the stove.
Sometimes I wonder about the target demographic for their Housewares department. I mean, I'm pretty domestic, but the supplies in this section stray into homesteading/Amish territory. Still, I love to wander this section and think about pitting cherries and canning pickles. Should a rustic impulse strike, I'll know where to stock up on supplies. -

Everything about this store says "MAN CAVE" , well, maybe except the foo foo knick knacks in the housewares section. Tools, even Craftsman, they've got them. Every conceivable fastener known in the western world, they've got them. Rope, hooks, chains, duct tape - you can never have enough of this stuff. Need to rewire the man cave, no problem - garage door openers, ceiling fans, cable for the surround sound system, light dimmers, kleig lights, motion detectors, yada, yada, yada. Want to fortify the man cave against those who would turn it into a sewing room? Lumber, concrete, barbed wire, security systems are in stock for immediate delivery. Need a self-contained nuclear plant for the man cave - well, no, that's probably the one thing they don't have. The bottom line is every known piece of anything is here to satisfy the MacGyver in you.
And toys. Back to tools - power equipment of every kind. Little red wagons (though not cheap - nowadays you might need an auto loan to purchase one of these puppies - they cost over 100 bucks now) to pull your stuff in around the man cave. Camping gear, fishing gear, barbecues, paint sprayers, power washers - need I go on? And then there's the hobby shop. Every man cave needs model airplanes hanging from the ceilings, remote control helicopters and cars to keep the reflexes in tune, and model trains running around the room. Die cast models of muscle cars.
Even the housewares section is useful. You need something to cook those beans in.
Now for the ever present and abundant Helpful Hardware Men (and Women). They're everywhere. Roaming every aisle, waiting for you to ask a question. This is the only slightly annoying thing about Ace. I like to browse. Sometimes I just go into this place to stand in awe, needing nothing, only wanting to be inspired and dream of what could be, then, wham - "can I help you?" breaks the moment - 47 times within 3 minutes. Ace people! can I have some peace once in awhile when I enter your store without feeling like either I'm incapable of navigating the store on my own (though they should offer guided tours) or that I'm a potential shoplifter that needs constant monitoring. This is my only peeve, but not big enough to knock any stars off of my rating.
No, it's not Home Depot for the shear size or selection. But if you need some advice or some weird thing for the man cave, they will more than likely have it where Home Depot won't. And besides, Home Depot doesn't sell model trains. -

"Ace is the Place"....
I started going to Ace just because of the Hobby Shop section. But the more looked around the rest of the store I started finding those little things that I needed to make repairs or that one hard to find item to finish a project... I would gladly walk all around the store just to kill time because I just might find something new that I overlooked before...
All the help there too has always been friendly and very helpful. -

This Ace is divided into 3 distinct sections: Ace Hardware, Housewares, Etc. & Hobby Place. We went to the Hobby Place to supplement our rocket hobby supplies. They also carry collectibles, die cast models, model kits, paints etc. and train kits. Housewares Etc. in the middle has all sorts of kitchen gadgets, candles, cards, bbq accouterments plus. If you lived way out in Montana or the boonies, you'd want this Ace hardware down the street.

Please shop your local Ace Hardware. More of you $$$ stays local. These are great hardware stores. My favorite is 22nd and KOLB. They can re-screen you windows and sliding glas door screens. I use the animal screen as it is tough, good looking and durable.

Now this is the mac daddy of hardware stores. It is clean and very well organized. There is not a screw it the world that they don't have. This is the most overall well stocked man jungle I have ever been to. The best part is that one side is manly hardware stuff and the other side is house-ware girl stuff, so there is something of interest for both sex's equaling a harmonious trip together to the hardware store. I forgot to mention that the staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and much easier to find than in some stores.

Great store for just about everything. There's always someone on the floor who can help you. The girls at the hardware checkout counter can seem distracted or surly at times, but they will always get you checked through and out the door in a hurry. The housewares department always has the little stuff that you can't find at the big boxes too.
