The best thing about local Ace hardware stores is that the employees are always asking you if they…read morecan help you find something. Yes its fun to browse all the items, but if you need to be quick, they can take you right to where the item is located because they know their store's layout precisely or know who to ask if they stock your item. I always buy my furnace filters from Ace Hardware and I always buy the Ace brand. They only cost $4 and some change for the ones that last three months. However more than one furnace repairman has told me to only use the 3 months filters for two months and that is what I do. If you need specific screws, bolts and nuts of a certain size, length or strength, their staff will help you find the right ones in their vast inventory of hardware and fasteners. You can buy the exact quantity you need without having to buy a prepackaged amount often sold in big box stores. Big box stores rarely offer the right size you are looking for in single amounts. From grass seed, to gardening tools, to paint and all their accessories, plumbing and toilet seats, hand tools and a few power tools, to electrical supplies and much more, they pretty much have everything you need except lumber. Sometimes I wish they would stock just some basics like 2x4s, but then space is limited and some stock room would have to be sacrificed. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program. It pays you back in gift cards good at the store.

Perfect local small business hardware store! Not the largest selection of each item, but many…read moreproducts on the shelves. The store is filled and the staff is sweet and helpful. When not wanting to make the trip to Bloomington, Greenwood, or Camby, they will have what you need for most small and some large home projects. Their outdoor fountain selection is impressive and I've ooh and ahh over then every time. Have scored a ladder late on a weekday evening, floor cleaners, bird feeders and small gifts, and occasional nails nuts and bolts to hang pretties around the house. We were even able to find all of the items to make one of my Pinsperations come to life on a whim a few weeks back and I couldn't be happier with it!

This is an old school hardware store that has more actual hardware than you'll find elsewhere in…read moreBloomington. They do everything from keys (including "digital chip" key clones) to vast amounts of nuts and bolts, SAE and metric, tools, supplies, home/industrial hardware. They are not Grainger or Lee's. They are not Lowes or Menards. Their prices are sometimes high, but they don't sell cheap gear. I wished they'd sell lumber and plants, but maybe it's better that they don't. They get five stars for being the best HARDWARE store in the area. You don't have to buy a huge blister pack to get just one or two of an item. Their clerks know what they have, and it's a good idea to ask them. They sometimes have better alternatives in mind, and their selection is vast for the size store they operate; they can save you a lot of time, unlike the big box stores, where there are no real specialists except the Big Item sales people. Go here first.

Lowe's and Home Depot have traded places as to who is number one. The same goes with me. Although…read moreMooresville only has a Lowe's there is a Home Depot in Greenwood. I remember when Lowe's first came on the scene they tried to outdo Home Depot and did very well for years in my book. From the staff always asking if they can help you find something (and they still do for the most part), to sealing up their concrete floors and making the store more clean they seem to always one up their competition. Today I think they still do very well keeping their store clean, keeping items in stock and delivering appliances in a timely fashion. HD tends to court the contractor who buy in bulk while Lowe's goes after the DIYer. I know Wall Street doesn't like this but I do. Living in the west, Ace Hardware stores were twice the size they are here with many stand alone buildings so naturally the inventory was vast. Not so good here in the Midwest with older stores and smaller shopping center footprints type stores. This is where Lowe's excels by having pretty much everything you need. I have said it before and I'll say it again I am not a fan of buying merchandise online. I need to see it, touch it, try it on, etc. before I buy and I want the convenience of walking in and walking out with my item; not waiting for delivery. A big box store such as Lowe's will beat out the online competition every day with in stock items and immediate availability.
