Des Plaines Ace Hardware is a large, well-stocked, and conveniently located veteran-owned and family-owned store. It offers a huge variety of items, from grills and paint to screws, nuts, bolts, Stihl, and Craftsman products. The store provides knowledgeable advice and helpful service, with a focus on small engine repair for items like lawn mowers and snow blowers. While prices can be more expensive than big box stores, customers appreciate the clean environment, the "ma and pa" vibe, and the highly accommodating staff who offer quick, expert guidance. Many note the store is surprisingly big inside, well-organized, and far better for personalized help than larger competitors.
Walked in and dan greeted me with a smile and got me what I needed quickly and politely. Always appreciate the friendly staff here. More knowledgeable and friendly then home depot and menards goons.
