Well, pretty much any business you find will be the only gig in town. This hardware store is situated right on the 434 highway and can easily be seen from the road (watch for the garish orange flags that indicate either a strip club or a used car lot, or..... a hardware store). Inside you will find alot of different items that you may need for your home improvement projects or contracting jobs. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is ready to help you pick out the best items for your needs and answer any questions you may have (come on, it's a hardware store. You're GONNA have some questions.) Their lumber yard is well stocked and their paint department is state of the art. Allowing any of their customers to not only leave RBS with exactly what they were looking for when they walked in, but also leave with peace of mind knowing that now they can tackle that job they're working on.

Has a decent selection of items in other departments; It's not the size of a huge box store, so it can't carry their extensive variety, but I generally find what I need. Many different bird seed blends, which are reasonably priced when you have a coupon or it's on sale. Prices: generally high at all the Ace stores without a sale or coupon. We have two other hardware stores in Taos, and a feed store, where we can compare prices if they have what we need; but that takes extra time and energy. It would be so much better if Ace would charge more realistic prices. Driving to Espanola or Santa Fe costs in gas, time, and fatigue for our many older folks, especially if they have health problems. They in particular shouldn't have to try to handle these high prices. Service is friendly and helpful. Selection is good for a small store. Prices are high.

Great example of an old school lumber yard and hardware store…read more I needed some parts to install a toilet and they had exactly what I needed, and it was in stock- not just an empty hangar on the wall, mocking me, like so many places I shop- including Lowe's which is my go-to back home. I grew up in Dallas and currently live in a suburb of Dallas. So I'm living in a metroplex of 6.8 million people. I own a small place in Taos now, and for sure it is a radical change, but one I welcome. So a bit of history for those who came from elsewhere. I recall when most hardware and lumber operations closed at noon on Saturday, and virtually everything was closed on Sunday (Texas Blue Law). Most retail stores closed at 5 or 6 pm weekdays, except might stay open to 9 pm on Thursdays. This was customary. I lived in a small town of less than 1,500 people in North Texas 40 years ago. They "rolled up the streets" around noon on Saturday back then, and most businesses still do. So I have seen both sides of this issue. For the working man who is into DIY, it makes it difficult to work on a project over the weekend. When I get started on a project Saturday morning, I can't say how many times I realized I needed something else to finish it, but it was after everything closed, so I was stuck until Monday morning. Not good if it is the only toilet in the house. But I also understand how valuable it is to owners and employees to have time off themselves, and how we should all take a breath and relax. In that small town in North Texas, if my ox ended up in the ditch, I could call the owner of the hardware store or the lumber yard and they would meet me at the store and get me what I needed. Taos is too big to operate like that, and times have changed, as have people. Moral of the story, there are two sides to this issue. The business owner takes a hit when you go to WalMart, Espanola or Santa Fe to shop when his/her store is closed. They have judged it is worth the loss for whatever reason- custom, rest, whatever. I won't hold it against them and will try to support a family business whenever I can.
