I am so happy to see this hardware store operating. I think a lot of us in the area went into…read moremourning when St. Paul Builders closed, and though we understood the desire of the owners to retire, we worried about losing a hardware store locally, and we worried about the employees. I did, anyway. So it's wonderful to see two familiar faces when I go to Hometown Hardware. This store is smaller than St. Paul Builders, but Steve and Jerry are quick to order anything you need. I wanted some DAP plaster-of-Paris powder, and it was waiting for me the next time I went in--and at a good price. Steve and Jerry are professional, accommodating, and also very nice and friendly. I predict that Hometown Hardware will become as much a local institution as St. Paul Builders was. And I very much appreciate that I don't have to drive a long way just to pick up hardware and supplies. The location in downtown St. Paul is extremely convenient.

Going to this Ace Hardware is like time traveling back to the 1980s or 90s. From the outdated cash…read moreregister to their outdated inventory its kind of bazaar. Whatever they didn't sell from 20 years ago is still sitting on the shelf, like outdated telephone jacks and other random merchandise. It is one of the larger Aces I have been to and everything is very spread out and open. Not a lot of foot traffic on the day I was there, in fact I was the only one there and the employees seemed bored and tried to be helpful but couldn't actually help with what I came in for. They do make keys there and their system is different from the other major chains so if you are having a tough time getting a copy they might can help you out. This business seems to have some major pet peeve about cell phones as their were 2 NO cell phone signs posted on the front door and then another one posted at the register. Looks like they had a bad batch of customers on their phone and could not get over it haha. If u plan on running in and making a purchase under 10$ then you should bring cash as their sign at the register posts that purchases under 10 should not be run on credit. So there you have it.

I went back on and it said they had 23 in stock that could be delivered to the house today. They canceled that order also. Several hours later I searched the gates online again. 1st option was Doordash delivery from the exact same Home Depot. That doordash driver shopped for the gate and delivered it to me in 30 minutes. What a huge disappointment that the store isn't competent enough to pick their own product. We went to the store 2 weeks ago in person to look for the gate, but there were 4 employees with the aisle blocked off and leaned against the steel just chatting. None of those gentlemen even asked if we needed help. Ridiculous. ​​​
