The location is clean and the selection is pretty good for a more intermediate-size hardware store. It's also mostly consistent with the idea of shopping locally. Ace Hardware stores are operated as cooperative not a franchise, as such each local store has lots of control over design and profits. This location seems to always have some sort of philanthropy effort going on.

With multiple renovations in progress, we shop here two or three times a week for that odd bolt or…read morefunky plumbing bit to fix something. They're a great resource, and I'm thankful they're here for us. They keep on top of stocking, so empty bins are rare. Downside is they're expensive relative to larger, home-improvement type stores, but you can't beat the convenience. The liberal hours are a big plus, something rare in our small town. Floor staff is friendly and helpful... but the checkout clerks? I find friendlier, more personable clerks at the DMV. Clearly, they're trained to be cold fish, absolutely not deviate from the annoying script about the rewards card, and refuse to recognize regular, frequent customers. Seems a little odd (to me) because I rarely need the guys on the floor - I know the store nearly as well as they do - so the only contact is usually with checkout. Heckuva way to treat your profit.

It's a southern illinois fixture and a great place to meet the locals and pick up that odd-sized bolt or to get advice on how to resolve a problem with a gate or a canning problem. If you can't find it at Rural King, you probably don't need it!

The owner/manager of the store didn't do anything about it even tho I'm a minor because all he cared about is making money he wonders why he can't keep employees.

At one point, my husband asked a sales rep if she worked here and she said "I'm employed by Menards and then said this isn't my section and then walked away.

If you're not a big contractor Larry Hurn doesn't appreciate your business. I went to get lumber to…read moredo my roof and had priced lumber 30 days earlier and at that time what I needed was $9.25 a board, then when I went in to get my lumber I thought I had taken plenty of money to purchase everything I needed and still have money left, but little did I know that Larry Hurn had jacked up the price over double what it had been 30 days earlier, each board I needed was now $20.25 per board, that's over 100% mark up, so I didn't nearly take enough money to get everything so I asked Larry if I could charge what I didn't have the money to cover until later in the day or the next morning since I have been a lifelong customer and was spending almost $1000 at his business and knowing hed over doubled his prices wouldn't even work with me so I wouldn't have to go through the belittlement of having to put lumber back. I spent over $500 on what I did get which wasn't much and after the treatment I received and the sheer greed of Larry Hurn, I'll never spend another dollar in his lousy business if that's how you treat lifelong customers that have spent thousands of dollars at your business. I called around after this experience to find that Hurns was the only lumber yard that had raised their prices so drastically and after being embarrassed to have to put lumber back because of the unbelievable price increase I'd drive to St Louis to get lumber before I'd ever think of spending another dime at Hurns, Hurns stinks!
