    Longtime Customer -- Cautiously Optimistic After Recent Changes…read more I've been shopping at this Richmond Ace Hardware for over 20 years. It's been a constant in the community, and I've seen it evolve--especially over the past six years with multiple ownership transitions, first to JC Licht and now back under Ace. This store is less than two minutes from my home. While I have three Home Depot locations within about 20 minutes in different directions, the convenience of Ace has always mattered. That said, convenience alone doesn't justify the premium pricing that Ace typically carries--what historically made it worthwhile was something far more valuable: exceptional service. For years, this store stood out because of its people. The staff were knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely helpful. You could walk in with a problem--not just a product request--and leave with a solution. They knew their inventory, suggested alternatives, and often had connections to trusted local professionals if the job required more than DIY. When the store transitioned to JC Licht, I had some optimism. Their historical reputation--dating back decades--was built on strong service, quality paint products, and thoughtful integration into local hardware ecosystems. Unfortunately, my experience during that period didn't reflect that legacy. The staff lacked product knowledge, service levels declined, and pricing remained uncompetitive. The value proposition simply wasn't there. One early visit during the current transition stands out: I was looking for specific carpentry hardware, and the associate assigned to help was clearly unfamiliar with even the basics of the category. It wasn't just a lack of depth--it was a lack of fundamental understanding. That's a problem in a store that's supposed to differentiate on expertise. Now, with Ace back in control, I'm willing to give the store another chance. I recently stopped in and saw that they're undergoing a significant remodel. That's a positive signal. But ultimately, fixtures and layout won't determine success--people will. If management invests in hiring capable staff and training them well, this store can reclaim what once made it valuable: knowledgeable, solution-oriented service that justifies both the price and the proximity. I don't mind paying a bit more if it saves me time and delivers real expertise. That's the trade. Right now, the jury is still out. I'll give it another visit or two and see if the improvements go beyond the surface. M

    We all know the prices are high, but ace is convenient with a helpful hardware man the way it used…read moreto be. But not now. Was talking to the manager about $700 worth of EGO batteries that are not working after one year and of course tells me I have to send it to the manufacturer. Don't buy anything that is not warranted by Ace or you will have a hard time getting your product replaced. Make sure you save all receipts because now they have new owners and the rewards program cannot duplicate my receipt so I can get this three year warranty on this battery . Now this is my problem. No one saves receipts for everything they do. More importantly Also bought two $10 bags of softener. forgot to grab them when I left because they are outside came back a couple hours later and the manager gave me a hard time about the receipt and Made. The girl that rang me up proved that I paid for them. I'm a regular Customer ridiculous way to be treated like I'm some kind of thief that would walk in there and tell them I'm stealing two bags of water softener. Will not be returning to this ace. and yes, the manager was the one acting this way. The same guy that saw me two hours before this. Tom would've never treated me this way
