I recently went to this Ace to buy some steel from their metals rack. I found it nearly empty, with…read morenothing I could use. When I asked an employee how often it was re-stocked, they shrugged and said, "I dunno" and pointed me to the manager. Really?? Okay... The manager said he was too busy to help me, a paying customer. When I asked if there was someone else who wasn't too busy to help a customer, this "manager" did the same shrug and "I don't know" AND THEN TURNED AWAY FROM ME. His name badge said Andy or Andrew. Unreal! Like a Twilight Zone episode! Never in my life have I experienced retail staff as rude and incompetent as this. I could see why he was "too busy to help me" though, since the store was torn apart and seemed to be getting renovated while they were open - it was a huge mess with junk all over the floor in the aisles, and trip hazards everywhere. If I were you, I'd give this place a miss and find ANY OTHER ACE to shop at. Oh hey, why are there so many totally unrelated photos from "reviewers"?

I haven't felt this at-home since Thanksgiving '98 when Grandpa and I road a tandem bicycle to Olive Garden and filled our bellies to the brim with bottomless salad and breadsticks! (He's passed away now - gluten allergy) When walking into the store, you may shed a tear, because at this Ace hardware, you're family. The kind staff and I always hold hands as I browse about the store...and NO it's NOT because they're concerned for my safety!! Stop being silly, ya silly goose...Maybe a wrench, maybe some rock salt, heck maybe even just a random bottle of hot sauce...the options are endless! They have everything, at very reasonable city prices. Once I've satisfied my nearly insatiable craving for browsing the aisles of doorknobs and extension chord, I check out, exchanging a knowing smirk with the cashier...and on my way home I KNOW I'll sleep better tonight..:because "Like a good neighbor, Ace Hardware is there"!

I visited this store on Sunday with the intent to purchase a ceiling fan and a miniature…read morerefrigerator. Unfortunately, the experience I had with one of the employees, Mathew, was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. After asking for assistance to get a refrigerator down from a shelf, Mathew arrived looking irritated from the moment he showed up. While I was speaking with a very kind older woman in the appliance department and asking her opinion on the various mini fridges, I could visibly see Mathew growing more impatient by the minute. In an effort to move things along, I asked him to retrieve a smaller fridge from the middle shelf. When he brought it down, I noticed it had a puncture and expressed concern that it might be damaged. Rather than acknowledging my concern, he ignored me and instead repeated what I said to the other employee. When I asked if he was planning to get a different one for me, he became even more irritated. I ultimately told him "never mind" because his attitude was becoming frustrating -- to which he replied, loud enough for both of us to hear, that he didn't "give a [expletive]." I immediately reported the incident to the supervisor on duty, who told me they would pass it along to the manager on Monday. However, based on the interaction, I'm not confident it was ever escalated. I'm a veteran, and I've always believed in treating others with respect -- and being treated the same in return. The lack of professionalism, respect, and basic customer service I experienced from this young employee was unacceptable. If someone doesn't want to interact with customers, they shouldn't be in a customer-facing role. I left without making a purchase and went to a different store where the staff treated me like my business actually mattered. I've shopped here before, but after this experience, I won't be returning.

I've never seen the brand "Wiley Wallaby" licorice before, and now I come here just to try all the different amazing flavors. I highly recommend the licorice allsorts.

They also under staff this location consistently. Almost every time I've gone in there hasn't been enough employees to help the customers that are in the store which means long wait times. This will be my last time going to the Edgewater Ace Hardware. It's very disappointing because this is my closest Ace to my house and for the last three decades of my life, Ace has been my go to and has been extremely helpful. But each Ace Hardware is individually owned so I will be going to a different Ace from now on. Do not waste your time. Just go to a different location.

Ohhh honey, grab a cart because I have thoughts. So I strut…read moreinto Home Depot with spring in my soul and a to do list tighter than my garden gloves. And what is this?!!! The parking lot is calm. The aisles? Breezy. The Garden Center? THRIVING. Birds practically singing in surround sound. Garden crew? Absolute sunshine. Helpful. Smiling. Ready to make my yard the envy of my neighborhood, as it should be. And can we talk about Amy at the register? Queen behavior. That woman was moving like she had somewhere fabulous to be. Clearing out winter nonsense, scanning like a pro, offering help like she was on commission for kindness. I leave my cart with her thinking, "Yes ma'am, hold my treasures while I grab a rug and live my best life." Now here's where the tulips wilt. I head to get a rug cut. Crickets. Not a soul in sight. No orange aprons. No wandering associates. Just me and my increasingly dramatic inner monologue. Fine. Washer/dryer section. I find a sweet girl just vibing. Bless her heart, she pages someone overhead. We wait. And wait. And WAIT. Twenty minutes later, the only thing that showed up was my irritation. I go searching again. A security guard does the classic "I do not see you." Matt at paint? Smiles politely and then executes a professional eye-avert. The washer/dryer girl? Vanished into the retail abyss. A new associate appears.....glaring at her current customer like they personally offended her ancestors. I try. I circle. I wander. Fifteen more minutes. Alas. No rug. No help. Just unmet potential. So here's the tea: Garden Center = 10/10, springtime magic. Amy at checkout = MVP, give her a raise. Rug cutting situation = a mystery worthy of its own investigation series. I left disappointed , not mad, just that specific kind of retail heartbreak where you know it could've been a five-star moment. What has happened since my last 5 ?? Do better, my beloved Home Depot. Spring waits for no one.
