Ace Hardware in Tupelo, absolutely earns every bit of its "helpful" slogan. I've never walked…read morethrough the front door and not had someone immediately greet me, and ask if they could help. Not only that, but each and every time, they know precisely where the item is, and take you to it personally (in my experience). And I mean from every day items like mower parts or hammers, to obscure items like landscape fabric staples. Pricing is on par with Home Depot and Lowe's, although sometimes slightly more (the service more than makes up for the negligible difference). They also have a free rewards program, along with military discount. They do full-service lawn mower maintenance and repair here, regardless if it's one (1) of the brands they carry or not. And further, they offer both OEM and more budget friendly alternative brands for your mower and small engine repair parts. I can't say enough positive about the store/location. Last, but certainly not least, the gentleman that helped me today was Stephen; and like every other person at Ace, he was outstanding!

Ace has always been helpful to me, just like the old Tupelo Hardware; they will help you with…read morewhatever you need, unlike every other box store in Tupelo.

The Home Depot is a big box, home improvement fixture in the United States. Part of what you…read moreexpect, no matter where you find one (1) geographically is, familiarity and consistency. The one (1) in Saltillo (Tupelo) is no exception. The store is large, open, and sensibly laid out. The staff is friendly and helpful, although they could use a bit more manpower for customer assistance throughout the store. They carry all you might expect, from home improvement to lawn and garden. From residential, to commercial support. As one (1) might expect, there are pros and cons versus their most popular competitor, Lowe's. In this case, for me, the most important pros include the location, in town. As in, it's off the main strip in a much easier to access and navigate parking lot. The shopping carts in my experience, are in better shape, and kept indoors, versus Lowe's, who keeps them outside (although under cover). Next would be their ease of access to things like Pinestraw for bushes and flower beds. Here, you can easily access it in clean, sealed bags. At Lowe's, it's an entire ordeal that I won't even get into. Last but not least, their ease of applying their 10% military discount is the best, hands down, once you have your account set up.

We ordered countertops from here ... quartz ($4,700)…read moreSupplier kept calling saying they were sending damaged pieces three different occasions and they really have to piece it together so we found a new guy and he said he wouldn't have to piece it together so we went up to get a refund that we had paid cash on and they wanted to mail us a check which would take 21 days to get to us.... I can't tell you why this place is still in biz.... Will never do business with this place again... they don't mind taking your money and giving you the runaround very unprofessional place..... run by millennials no doubt ...
