    I visited the Grayslake Ace with a problem I had with a replacement weight for my floor lamp.

    Went to get a Christmas tree today (Sunday) and had the pleasure of getting helped by Daniel who…read morealso assisted us with prepping our tree. He was very polite and respectful. Only thing I would like for Menards to work on is getting him a better saw so he's able to cut the trunks easier. He was given this little blade that was very difficult for him to cut the tree trunks with. He stated he's not allowed to use power tools because of being under 18. Menards, give him a saw with a stronger blade at least. That thin blade was extremely flimsy. Everything else was great though. ***clap***

    We're in the thick of a bunch of home improvement projects as we gear up to move into our home…read more While we can count on Menards to have things we need to do these projects, with endless options of light fixtures, light bulbs, faucets and more the options are rather limited. We recently came by in the need of a medium size crow bar to remove some flooring and when we looked they had a super tiny one or a really large one. When we asked for help to see if we were just missing a potential location to look the staff was a bit stand off ish and said we can just walk around and look to see if we can find what we are looking for. We ended up actually walking around thinking we missed a big section of crow bars but those were actually the only 2 sizes they carried. While it is a home improvement store, they do have quite the array of non perishables, and pet selection. From dry goods, to frozen items there seemed to have been tons and tons of options for those. :) All in all, we're glad to have a Menards close by just wished it had a bigger variety of items for us to pick up what we need.

For another, those…read moregiant hardware places, while they do have more selection, funnel your money into places that I don't want to support. Plus, your supporting the local community. It's a win-win. I stop in here whenever I need something in a pinch. Closet light burned out? Need to hang a gifted photo? Doing some yard work? This is a good one stop shop for any house project. Plus it's not the size of a football field (again, less selection is really my only criticism) so you can get in and out with what you need quickly. Around this season I'm mostly working on my yard and garden. I stopped in to grab some garden soil on sale, it saved me about 4 bucks a bag compared to the competition. It's all outside so you tell them what you want inside and they look it up, you pay, then you head back out to grab your items. They help you load your car if you need it as well. Excellent service from Starr at the register, she found the numbers and sales for everything I was buying. The young gentleman who helped me load my car was great too. It's nice to see professional hardworking kids with big smiles. I've had keys made here, I've had a window screen repaired as well. Never had any problems. This is definitely a good option no matter what project your working on.

    What a hidden gem! I stopped by  Ace Hardware on a whim to pick up some soil--usually, I default to…read morethe big box stores like Home Depot, but I'm so glad I gave this place a shot. I was in and out for soil... or so I thought. I ended up stumbling across their clearance section, and let me tell you--it's a goldmine. They had lighting and other household gear marked down to 60% off retail. I scored four awesome headlamps for a fraction of the price. It's not something I planned for, but I'm definitely not mad about it. I believe it was Bill or Phil who helped me out--he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I asked about grow lights, and not only did he make a solid recommendation, but he also walked me over to the right section. That kind of personal service is rare these days, and it left a great impression. One thing I noticed, though, was that the older staff members were genuinely friendly and helpful. They greeted me, engaged in conversation, and seemed to take pride in being there. In contrast, the younger staff felt a little checked out... not rude, but they were kind of low energy and not particularly invested. This is not a dealbreaker, but it is worth mentioning. The fantastic selection of hidden deals, and some of the best soil prices I've seen in town. It's clear that this Ace cares about its regulars and offers value that goes beyond convenience. Pro tip: Always check the clearance aisle--you will find something you didn't know you needed!
