Ace Hardware and Hearth

I thought the prices would be outrageous with a blizzard coming and I thought Ace was just expensive in general, but the prices were the same as Home Depot or Lowes. I needed a snow shovel and they came thru for me ($ 25) where the big box stores were all sold out.

This store is located behind a pizza place and gas station so if your not looking you may miss it. I use to go with my grandfather all the time so I remembered it. Went there us to get a few things. An since the last time I was there they really cleaned up! It’s was easy to navigate and find what you needed. They also had a lot of stock so thy actually had what you needed as well.
The employees were prompt to ask us if we needed help and check out was a breeze.
A small store like this is differently easier to go to than a big super store and it will have you basic home improvement needs.

This Ace Hardware has been a part of Glen Burnie, MD, for longer than I’ve lived here and thats a long time. It is tucked away behind a gas station on RT3 and is next to a Giant food store.
Upon entering it feels like I was transported back to a hardware store in the 60’s; cramped, full of everything, with an organized mantra about it…
Micheal greated me upon walking in and asked if he could asset me finding anything. I told him what I needed and he immediately said, those are in Aisle 10.
Aisle 10 I went and there was what I needed.
In and out in under 10 minutes and satisfaction was guaranteed. What more can you ask of your local DIY store?

I love this place. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted and asked if there is anything they can help you with. The selection is relatively small, but the workers know their stuff and don’t make you feel like an idiot asking questions. I was in there today and one of the clerks noticed me checking out a bag of lawn chemicals I’ve been considering purchasing for about a year. I knew a lot about the product based on my research. The worker was able to provide additional information and confirm many of the things I already knew about it. I was so impressed I gave in and purchased two bags of the stuff, which is quite costly.
Still, every time I have been in here the staff works hard for me and all of the other customers. You simply cannot get this level of service at Home Depot, Lowe’s, or any other larger retailer.
Good job, Ace!
