I stopped by this store near downtown to get some supplies to repair a machine. They were very…read morehelpful, primarily because they are in a shady neighborhood and the aisles that had expensive stuff was locked to each peg and a chain across the isle saying that you must be escorted by an employee.

I know we are all guilty of shopping at that ubiquitous big box hardware store. However, when I am…read morenot sure what I need, or want to ask some questions, or sometimes know exactly what I need (which rarely happens), I come here to this Frattallone's location. Several times, I have found myself asking a bunch of questions and getting helpful answers from the staff. I have purchased all sorts of stuff here from leaf bags, to paint brushes, to spray paint to drain snakes. Oh and there is plenty of parking in the off-street lot.

I love this store! I actually get excited to go there! They have a great selection of everything I…read morehave ever needed, and their staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I am greeted by someone every time I enter the store. I am very grateful to have Nicollet Hardware near our home.

I was so disappointed when the UPS slip on my door stated that my package was delivered here (it's…read morea UPS Access Point). I like to shop local, but I had already resolved to stop shopping here because of poor customer service on multiple occasions. I tracked the package on the UPS website and saw that it was delivered the previous day, and I called to double-check that it was actually there before stopping by. The guy who answered the phone couldn't have been less interested in helping me. It was evident right away that he felt like checking for the package was a huge inconvenience. He left the phone to go search for it WHILE I WAS STILL TALKING, describing what it should look like (excuse me for trying to be helpful), and asking if another undelivered package also happened to be there. He came back to the phone and said he didn't find anything. I walked over shortly afterward and explained to the same guy that the UPS tracker showed that one package was delivered there the day before. Long story short, he found it and explained that he didn't see it initially because he was looking for the other one I described, and he grumbled on and on about how this store "isn't a UPS." Try ACTUALLY LISTENING to your customers when they're speaking to you, and you won't miss key details. And a business currently has to apply to become a UPS Access Point, so you can save all that grumbling for your manager. I didn't want to come here to pick-up my packages in the first place because of EXACTLY THIS kind of shitty customer service that seems to be the norm here. Yes, it requires additional time and effort, but one of the supposed benefits of being an Access Point is its potential to increase foot traffic (and ultimately, sales)--but I will go out of my way to shop elsewhere because I'm beyond tired of the misogyny and condescension.

Family-owned and operated and going 70 years strong. There is a reason for that, because they treat…read moretheir customers like family. It hurts me to know that they suffer from rampant theft and the drug-addicted take over of the area. Thanks to their crazy city council that doesn't protect the people, and leaves an entire police precinct abandoned. I love places like this. Keep up the great work, keep up the awareness. And hopefully locals will come around and vote sanity back into this neighborhood and great city.

Not being a do-it-yourself, home repair kind of guy, I never expected to fall in love with a…read morehardware store, but that's what's happening with Welna II in Seward. It helps that the store's just a short walk from my house. But what turned me into such a fan is the exceptional customer service. As soon as I step in the door I know I'll get a friendly hello and offer of help from whoever's working the counter. Owner Jim Welna and his staff have proven time and time again they're more than happy to go the extra mile to come up with solutions to problems. Plus, when it comes to product recommendations, I can trust they'll steer me in the right direction. Instead of the most expensive item, they'll show me what's locally produced, eco-friendly, AND most cost effective. If they don't have what I need they'll do what they can to make sure I get it. And these people know their stuff! One more thing: If your timing's right, as mine was on my second trip, Mr. Welna might offer you one of the hot dogs he's got cooking on the grill out back. That's the kind of added bonus that makes this family-owned neighborhood hardware such a standout!

However, there is one employee (a male with long-ish wavy hair, likely in his mid-30s) who clearly knows his products but often delivers suggestions in a tone that comes across as condescending and judgmental. I'm sharing this only as constructive feedback, as I otherwise have had very positive experiences and appreciate the store and team.

The men and ladies that work here are always helpful and the place is dog friendly. Like all neighborhood hardware stores, they stock things that are pertinent to the neighborhood. For example, last weekend I was doing some plumbing, decided to go to Menards and ended up returning everything I bought there because this Ace had what I needed. I could've saved myself some time and just came straight here but I had to be that cheap bastard and well, it shows ya where it got me. Anyway, it happens all the time and honestly the convenience of the place just can't be beat.
