Town and Country Hardware switched suppliers in 2004, leaving Ace and replaced Ace with another company and in 2011, Town and Country Hardware closed permanently. I miss the old Town & Country Hardware Store, Town & Country Hardware 2as the original Salem Ace Hardware. Till August of 2017, they were no hardware stores in Salem. I have heard earlier this year, like in the Spring that the hardware store is coming back to Salem, WV. I found out that the store was going to be Ace, which made me more happy. Ace Hardware in Bridgeport, WV closed in the Summer of 2014. So for a short while, they were no Ace Hardware stores anywhere in Harrison County, WV. In 2016, Ace Hardware returned to Harrison County, WV, in Shinnston and made another return in 2017, in Salem. Now there is 2 Ace Hardware stores in Harrison County. I live in Salem and The Ace Hardware of Salem is a real helpful place and close to my home. Though the store address is ACTUALLY 210 Liberty St. Salem, WV 26426, NOT 298 Liberty St. Salem, WV 26426. Just remember, Ace is the place and Ace, the helpful place. True Value sucks and Ace is better. Just kidding, I have nothing against True Value Hardware, and they are a good store, I just like Ace Hardware name better.

Several weeks ago I took my lawn mower in for a new carb, oil change, etc., and a new deck belt,…read morewhich was noted on the slip. I was called in a couple of days by the female counter person and was told that the carb had been ordered but sent to the wrong place and it had to be reordered. Well, we all know that's code for 'I forgot to order it'. No worries, I have a back up machine. I had removed the deck in the interim in order to service it myself. In doing so, I discovered an idler pulley that was bad and called to order it. I spoke again with the female counter person who told me that I had to pay for it up front, which sounded odd, but I gave her my credit card information anyway. Today I was called and told that the mower was ready. I went to retrieve it, and had to remind the man at the counter that I had ordered a deck belt which I had yet to pay for, and an idler pulley which I had already paid for. He could find information on neither, had neither in stock, and when he checked said that they had ordered neither in years. I told him that I had ordered the pulley from the female counter person, whom he said was currently at lunch. He called her, but apparently she did not wish to be disturbed, because he hung up rapidly after saying that he would take care it. He looked through a few slips on the counter and said that there was no record of it being ordered or apparently of my having paid for it. I live 50 miles away, and I was livid. I paid the bill ($475.34) on a mower that I still couldn't use, and as I left he told me he'd look into the pulley situation. (He didn't mention the belt.) I told him not to bother, that I would buy what I needed at Parc's. Which I did. So, for another $126.12, I now have the parts I need to return my mower to operational status. Keep your pulley Sandy's, as well as any further 'service' to me or mine - your excuses are thin, and your service is poor. Keep what I paid as well as apparently you believe that you ( or someone ) needs the money more than do I. A couple of bucks is a cheap price indeed for me to now own what little integrity you may have at one time possessed.

Sometimes unless you look like a contractor help at some places is hard to get…read more Not here at this Menards, I had my list ready for a deck build and Valerie T. stepped up to the counter assisted me with our order and even walked us over to where the joist hangers were, since I had missed them by an aisle as I was picking up other items. Mikel was our cashier with his friendly smile and polite attitude. It wasn't just because he was in air conditioning on a hot day because later he was in the garden area as a cashier. I didn't mention it was 90 degrees this day but out to the lumber yard Clayton rescued us and not only help us load the lumber but he took the loader over and picked up the 60 lbs bags of concrete and loaded them so we didn't have to drive our truck. Duncan and Bryan T. also impressed us with their friendly help and really made our shopping experience delightful. Although known of them accepted my offer to help build our deck they took that suggested with laughter. The value even without the 11% rebate was better than in our area on this date but sometimes the dollar talks in this case the staff will also be why we will return.

And the place is as busy as it could be. A steady stream of visitors kept on coming in. The staff was probably the most knowledgeable and friendly hardware staff I've seen. It puts both Home Depot and Lowe's to shame. The staff knows refrigerators, oven, gas, electrics, you name it. Impressive place.

Without question, the greatest hardware store ever. Walking in the door will take you back over…read morehalf a century and the atmosphere is second to none. From hardware, appliances, furniture, sporting goods, and banjos, this store has it all. Nothing in the store has been updated, but has been gently maintained to keep it in its original state. I once asked for a pound of framing nails and 50 feet of rope. One of several older men working there went to a wood bin and picked up a large handful of nails and put them in the bag and asked if that would do. It was clearly over a pound but charged me for just the pound. Another man went to the back and started measuring rope using is outreached arms. Again, clearly over 50 feet but charged me not a penny more. If you are in the area, its worth spending 20 minutes or so wondering the aisles and finding things you'll never find in Home Depot or Walmart. Nothing about CJ Richardson's is commercial, superficial, or meant to impersonate the good old days. What you see is what you get (and that really says something).
