The service is quite poor and I constantly have to track down anyone in any department for service. Today I stood around in the paint department for 15 mins with no one in sight and simply walked out. I don't get it since this location has a captured audience and making a killing with their small hardware margins. But their staff are very young and don't have the perspective of a busy homeowner. Anyhow, today was super frustrating once again.

Wow! They really go above and beyond with their customer service at Orchard Nursery! I had a small…read morepot that I wanted to fill with flowers, but because there were so many choices, I sought assistance. Gianna, and two other amazingly helpful plant experts worked together to find the perfect flowering combination for my pot. While they searched, I strolled through the nursery's beautiful grounds. There were so many colorful flowers, gorgeous plants and trees, and an abundance of vegetable to choose from. Gianna came over to show me what they had chosen, and I couldn't have been more pleased! They took into consideration the amount of light my pot would get, and even chose flowers that would compliment the color of my front steps-so thoughtful Prices were on par for high quality plants. I paid $31.65 for the three beautiful, hand picked plants (Gianna is holding them in one of the pics!) There are so many more positive things that I could say about my experience at Orchard Nursery!, but I recommend that you go and see for yourselves. Also, don't forget to pop into Lazy K's gift shop. It's the charming little house off to the right-full of lovely treasures. The team clearly loves what they do, and takes pride in their work. I highly recommend Orchard Nursery for any plant needs, or if you just want to stroll through their beautiful nursery!

The layout is organized and it's easy to find what you're looking for, but if you can't find something it seems an associate is always nearby to help. The cashiers are quick and efficient, and a new one shows up quickly when the line gets long so there's never a long wait. You can also order ahead and do "curbside" pickup. There is a separate building dedicated to grilling supplies and accessories. They have a large and wide selection of pellets, briquettes, wood chips and a mind-bending wall of seasonings. There is a good garden section in back with a modest selection of quality plants that you can trust.

I have to say, this was the single most unfriendly Ace I have ever been to. Not subjectively but…read moreobjectively: I was here early on a Friday morning, walked past an otherwise unoccupied cashier - no greeting (no smile, no eye contact, no "Good Morning" nothing), and as I wandered around the unfamiliar store looking for what I needed, no offers of assistance. I practically had to step IN FRONT on someone to ask for the last item I was looking for despite several folks in red vests. At checkout same cashier didn't ask for my phone number for Ace Rewards. When queried, she responded that the transaction was complete and offered a half hearted cancellation and rering. I did decline. I wish this was an anomaly but I was in this store with my son about two weeks ago to a similar response. The only competitive advantage that locally owned hardware stores have over big box stores and Amazon is service. I live in Hawaii (Oahu) and have a home in Phoenix --- Barry's Ace Hardware in Phoenix is amazing. I have already given up and defected to Home Depot in Hawaii for the same reasons as above.

Whether you are looking for simple home improvement items or you aren't quite sure what you need, they likely have it. The BBQ area, the kitchen and the inventory - just amazing. You could go anywhere for these things and some choose to go to the big box stores because the perception is that you will save money. While you may get some things for a little less, the value Ace and their staff provides is second to none. You just dont wait. Walk in and they help you - even if you aren't sure what you are doing. I could be in and out of Ace Alamo before someone even talks to me at Home Depot or Lowes. If you are on the fence, go there - will be well worth your while.

Celebrating Alamo Ace Hardware: from a long time customer…read more The magic of Alamo Ace Hardware starts with its remarkable longtime general manager, Keith Gilbert--part ringmaster, part retail genius--who's been running the show since the days of Yardbird. Thanks to Keith, this isn't just a hardware store...it's an experience. Walk through the doors during any holiday season and you're immediately greeted with festive, colorful, over-the-top displays that put a smile on your face. Then the real adventure begins--where else can you find Grandma-worthy homemade pies, Pokémon cards, a seriously swoon-worthy kitchen section, and every nut, bolt, and tool imaginable all under one roof? Alamo Ace has that rare, old-school, family-run feel--where people actually know what they're talking about and are genuinely happy to help you. It's the kind of place where you come in for a lightbulb and leave wondering how you lived without one of their Apple pies. Huge shout-out to the all-star team: Sharon in Electrical, Michael, Marty, Brennon, and Bill in Paint; Norm and Sue in Customer Service; Dennis, Al, and Bruce in Fasteners; Dianne and Kelly in Kitchen; Valerie in Garden; and Annie, Laurie, Joan, and Sharon at Checkout. And to anyone I missed--thank you. You all make this place what it is, a real neighborhood treasure! We are beyond lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood.
