This store is owned and operated by a wonderful person who hires wonderful staff. Pay no attention to the negative reviewer below. We have been coming to this store for years and have only received lovely, attentive, friendly service. Springtime experts abound during gardening season, too. read more

We have a cabin in Emily and shop at Ace Emily frequently. The staff is consistently helpful and nice. It is run by a wonderful family. Selection is great I always find what I'm looking for and the staff is always ready and willing to help with a smile. I love the "home town" service this Ace provides. read more

My husband and I have owned a lake home in Emily for the past 18 years. Emily Ace Hardware is our go-to store. Could we save a few $$s if we bought stuff from the big box stores before we came up for the weekend? Probably. But why? We believe in supporting locally owned businesses and have always been treated like family. Everyone there is a wealth of information, including referrals to contractors in the area who they know and trust. read more

Ever been to a small town store with employees who act like they hate you're there? This is just that kind of place. Of all people, the owners who are making money off customers should at least be friendly, but this isn't the case. If you like getting snapped at and treated like garbage, find Sally the owner. If she isnt around, Rusty an employee is sure to ruin your day. It doesn't matter how many times you shop there, how much you spend or how friendly you are, if you have either of those two wait on you, you'll leave knowing that these kind of people are the reason the world is in such sad shape. My advice, drive the additional 15 minutes and hit the Crosslake Ace. You'll be glad you did. read more

The team at Emily Ace Hardware couldn't be more helpful or pleasant. Gary and Sally go the extra mile for their customers. Sally is a wizard at matching paint to your existing color, Gary will help you diagnose an issue and let you come in if you don't have the correct tool, and the staff are just as helpful. read more

We live on Ruth Lake in Emily and patronize this store often. The employees are well versed in what they do and no question is too small or stupid, and believe me, I ask some realyy stupid ones as hubby and I are clutzes when it comes to home care, repairs, etc. Great local store, plenty of smiles ans a very friendly and helpful manner. Worth the extra few pennies small town businesses have to charge, especially at the price of gas and distances involved. read more
