Rutledge Hardware has been in continuous operation since 1891 in downtown Rutledge. It has all of its original fixtures, rolling ladders from floor to ceiling, even some of its original inventory! Only the fourth owner of record, local resident Paul Jones grew up shopping in this store that he now owns and operates. The 100 year old Rutledge Hardware store also is home to his custom furniture workshop. Spring time is the best time of year as Rutledge Hardware is about the only place around where you can buy seed potatoes and bulk garden seed, weighed up by hand the old fashioned way! Paul sells you as much or as little garden seed as you want along with beautiful garden plants he cares for daily and keeps fresh for you to plant. He sells flowering plants, vegetable plants, onion sets, seed potatoes, you name what you want for your garden and chances are he will have it right there for you! Paul builds 18th Century Furniture Reproductions in the back warehouse area when he isn't waiting on customers up front or visiting with them outside. Rutledge is a short drive out East from Atlanta along the Antebellum trail that follows I-20. If you are ever in the area, we can assure you it is worth the trip!

In addition to picking up my item, a team member tried to help me resolve an issue with my garage door opener. He tested batteries, found screw drivers and even replaced everything in an attempt to help. (Turns out the opener was dead). I would definitely come back even though this isn't my neighborhood hardware store.

I asked a staff member if I could get some help to answer some of my questions. She called over another staff member and David came right over. He was ready for all my questions. I showed him the one that I was interested in and he demonstrated all of the options. He was very knowledgeable about all the mowers, and their features. I was ready for the purchase after his thorough demonstration. He initially thought the one I had in mind was out of stock and I could get the display model for a discount, but it turned out that there were 2 available in the back. Mike unboxed it, put gas and oil in it and met us out front near the car after I closed out the bill. Overall, a very good experience at the Cowan Ace Hardware.
