There is something magical about walking into an Ace Hardware. Almost kind of like the feeling you get at Christmas time. Call it nostalgia or just good old fashioned service, but besides being«the helpful place» the Streator store should add«with the smiling face». The Ace Hardware in downtown Streator is a main staple for the economy and it’s where folks go to get the widget, gidget or gadget that you may need for your home repair needs. If you can’t find it, the staff will go out of their way to help you get it. Each employee shows they take pride in their work and takes customer service to heart. So if you ever in need of that certain this or that, stop in and look around. Stop and strike up a conversation with either Lauren, Carol or Jan if your not busy.
