This place is awesome!!! It has everything you need from a bolt or nut to flipping carpet. But,…read morewhat I really look for in a hardware store, is that old-timey charm and helpful people. We seriously looked like fish out of water (no pun intended) in that we were looking for fishing gear because we left all ours back in Chicago. The guy who ran the fishing and tackle department was so knowledgeable and even pointed us to the sale isle in that we were looking for something for the kids. The place was clean and organized - complete with an old fashioned popcorn maker and that darn gumball machine that my kids go crazy for. The nice young man at the counter and my husband exchanged about their military experiences and thank you's and we were on our way. BUT - that's not all! There was a great little market in the adjacent lot on Friday afternoon where we picked up some fresh veggies, bread and meat for dinner. Very charming place -- treated like the first customers of the day, even though we most likely kept them after close. Thanks Koltes!

Every time I've gone in someone has greeted me and asked if I needed any help. This past Saturday I literally brought my TV with me because I can't find the proper screws for the base. A younger guy took the screw I had most recently purchased (my 3rd attempt), sized it and then took several attempts to find the correct screw. He was running in and out of the store to fit it on the TV (never ended up finding it). At one point another guy was helping us too. This type of service would NEVER happen at the big box stores or even most of the small-town stores. Very appreciative and will visit this store before I go into town to the big box store!

In this era of big box hardware stores, I really appreciate this locally-owned and operated store…read morenearby. While the store looks small from the outside, its inventory of products is surprisingly robust, allowing me to avoid the aggravation of shopping at the Madison Home Depot. While their prices are slightly higher, I save time and gas money by shopping locally. What I like most about the Waunakee Ace is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. I never have to search for an associate or wait helplessly at the help desk. Whether I need a certain type of wall hangers, the best paint option to touch up the bathroom wall or the right type of putty to repair a traditional plaster wall, the staff here patiently advises me on the pros and cons of each option. They make my trips to the hardware store soooo much faster and easier than any visit to a big box store. Other things I like: * Finding a good parking spot is always a breeze. * The Ace Rewards card offers rebates in the form of coupons based on how much you spend there. Even with my sporadic purchase history, I've received at least $50 of free stuff over the past couple of years.

They have the 11% Off everything in the store at least once a month & we always receive the rebate after sending it in. My husband & his family are very into interior home/exterior projects or repair & have gotten the majority of their supplies from Menards. I get all of our interior paints here. Our toddler & I usually go with to just look at all of the interesting tools, display patio furniture & lights ; the store is absolutely massive. We usually pick up large grocery items like washing detergent, dish/toilet paper, cleaning things & dog food while we're there. Lots of fun outdoor feeders, birdseed & suets for your yard year-round . We always get one of the fun treats/candy or drinks for the way home. The garden center at the start of summer is an absolute zoo. It's a lot of fun to see the large variety of plants & garden decor but it can be really hard to navigate in the chaos. Great for bulbs. Only things I'd point out is that the floor staff aren't usually that friendly & it can sometimes be hard to find help. Everyone at checkout is always really nice though. For kitchen design & appliances we decided to go with Home Depot. Otherwise, we get just about all of our home project supplies at Menards! So much joy here at Christmas. Definitely go in whenever the 11% rebate is out!
