Mom-and-pop hardware stores face fierce competition from Lowe’s and Home Depot. So for your next DIY project, consider purchasing from an independent hardware store.
That thing-a-ma-jig or the what-cha-ma-callit you need actually has a name! Just ask the folks at the store. They can offer advice as well as the parts and pieces to get the job done. Shopping local both supports families and fuels foot traffic to downtown retailers.
So glad the Ace Hardware re-opened off Highway 11. And the coffee shop there is nice too!
