Richland Ace Hardware and Sporting Goods

The ataff at this Ace store are always helpful and cheerful. I have stopped in for stainless hardware and a variety of other small items.

I am embarrassed to say I have underestimated this little store for too long! We waltzed in the door knowing exactly what we wanted (scoped it out online first)– a Stihl (yes, they carry Stihl now) weed eater. We had shopped around at Lowe’s and Home Depot and the quality we found was not up to par with what we wanted.
We decided on the Stihl very quickly and began to look around for someone to talk to about purchasing it. It wasn’t long until an associate asked if we needed help. We weren’t sure if we should grab the display or if they had them boxed up and he said we would be buying the display, but that he’d start it up for us so we could see how it ran. Ran great, and they included a free tank of gas/​oil. The two year warranty is upped to four years if you buy their oil (for 2.49), so that was easy!
We also noticed they have Traeger grills, Craftsman mowers, tools, and chests, and outdoor fountains. Also have cute decorations for the home, and tempting ice cream treats at the register (damn them!).
Had we not walked in like two minutes before 8pm (unaware that was closing time until they were locking doors), we would have browsed around and probably found more goodies.
Friendly customer service. They mentioned several times that they appreciated our business and thanked us for choosing Ace. We will continue to support this «small» business.

This place is just down the street from me. So I drop by here for various trips (windshield scraper, light bulbs, duplicating my key for one with flames on it, etc.). In addition for home stuff, they also have decorations for seasonal things, and a sporting goods section. I could swear that I also saw a samurai sword here, too!
