It's great to have a local ACE hardware store much closer to where I live in Pinnacle Peak than Home Depot or Lowe's. I'll stop by if I just need a few items or forgot something. The sales help is friendly and usually knowledgeable... unlike the big boxes. OK...once or twice they've trailed me down the aisles... probably to help answer questions... but I almost felt like I should promise not to make off with any extra nuts or bolts!\n\nI'm glad to support a local, independent store and pay for the convenience... but the prices they need to charge do add up quickly\n(OK... reasonable but usually high if not on sale). If I need a shopping cart of items, the extra trip to Home Depot/Lowe's more than pays for the gas (even closing in on $4/GAL)!
