We will drive over the mountain to the other one. Maybe the employees are less aggressive and won't attempt to explain how we should do things her way. Offensive demeanor and totally out of line. Good luck Ace if you continue to hire rude and aggressive employees. We will probably make a complaint to the owner as well. They did not have what we needed and the value was more than we wanted to pay on top of an employee completely out of line.

THE BEST PART of this store is hands down, Misses Too Sweet, the friendly kitty keeping the store clear of unwanted critters. Our property management company will frequent this Elder's location for the great management, associates and Misses Too Sweet. Any franchise that fosters a stray like they have receives an A+ rating in my book on character and respect.

The shelves are stocked and with intention. I normally wouldn't comment on this, but it's so noticeable. The people are amazing and seem genuinely happy to be there. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly and the employees I needed help from were warm, invested, and beyond helpful. And the nursery... It's perfect. So much beauty, so much care. We've brought home several gorgeous, healthy plants. It's so nice being in this store that we frequently find reasons to buy from them. My husband said that Ace was "built on a single screw". It really shows here.

Several years ago I did the same thing. I bought bushes and a few plants at that time After twice now, I won't buy any more there. My son in law goes to the Barn Nursery and has had great success. So, I will go there from now on. Besides, Ace is too high. If you need something quick it's fine but I can go elsewhere and get things cheaper and the quality is just as good.

In the middle of my question, another customer walks up. She stops listening to me, and asked the other customer if she could help her. I'm like no, this just didn't happen. When I finally get to ask for a product, I'm told it's upfront somewhere in a bin. I search and finally locate the bin in my own, but now there's no pricing. I take a sample to the checkout line and start asking the cashier for a price. Brenda now comes up front, and interrupted me once again, and says they are out back. Or small bags on an aisle. Now for another search mission. Finally found it. Back to the checkout with now one register and 7 people in line. Finally when I am 2 away, another cash register opens. Cashier asks if I want a bag for my goods. Of course I do, but since she asked such a dumb question, I carry my 3 items on my chest to my car. Service assistance hit the rock bottom at this store.
