4 reviews for Ace-Rural Supply Hardware
When I use to live in the downtown area this place was a jewel for me. I still go there from time to time when I stop by the post office across the street. The selection is surprisingly good. The staff has always been eager to help. At the checkout counter they always have some unique things I can use.
There is limited street parking and the parking lot to the side offer additional parking, which is nice for downtown.
If you live in Los Gatos you have two choices for hardware stores, Ace-Rural or Orchard Supply on Los Gatos Boulevard. On several occasions Rural has saved my behind, the last being when my plumber with my assistance dug up and repaired our damaged sewer line. We ended up knocking out 3 sprinkler lines in the process which is pretty par for the course, It was 4:30 p.m. and I wanted to get these lines fixed ASAP so we could close the trench which would allow my gardener to get the sod in place. I wanted to avoid heading to either of the Home Depots, and gave Rural a shot, sure enough they had all the piping and fittings needed to fix our damage. I would give Rural 5 stars and I really like buying from a small family run business, but on every occasion I have visited them the cashiers have been pretty checked out as they wished they were somewhere else.
Personally I could care less as I imagine if I was 16-18 I would also want to be somewhere else, like on a beach in Santa Cruz. But, in case any of the Yelpers were expecting a very cheery greeter/cashier be warned.
This hardware store might be small, but it's made up for with knowledgeable, friendly staff and a wide selection o what they do carry.
The barn out back has hay, alfalfa, and other feed. It's competitively priced.
What more can you ask for? Oh yeah, it's a locally owned franchise. Support your local hardware store.
ACE Rural Supply is my go to hardware store when I need to replace light bulbs and have keys made. They carry feed, tools and even those cute Red Flyer wagons. What I like is that there are plenty of sales clerks throughout the store who always stop to ask if you need help. Prices are a tad bit higher than Home Depot. There is a small parking lot on the side and a few spots in the front but busy weekends mean you have to compete with a lot of other residents for parking. ACE Rural Supply is also family owned so you know you are contributing to a mom and pop business.
