Heth's Hardware Hank is a true midwestern classic- where your friends and neighbors really make you…read morefeel welcome, really listen and try to find you the right solution, while being as helpful and friendly as they can. Rarely have I ever entered Heth's without someone greeting me, or at least asking if they could help me find something. Most of the time, I end up getting a recommendation or help from one of the very knowledgeable staff. This is a true vintage hardware store- where they'll have the one right-size bolt, gasket or just the widget you need- along with a Mothers Day gift, a Christmas card, or just a six-pack of locally-brewed (Spring Grove, MN) Root beer. Most of the time, i make a conscious choice to shop at Hardware Hanks. Even if they don't have the absolute lowest price (like Wal-Mart or other big-box stores) their customer service, willingness to help, and just all-around midwestern hospitality always make me glad that I did.

Total lack of how to fulfill the simple request of speaking to someone in a specific department. I…read morehad called three times in order to ask a license question, that a person in their sporting goods department could possibly answer. The call was put on hold and dropped twice during the transfer. Third time was put on hold while the department was paged, before being dropped again. Here's the scoop from an experienced sales and marketing person, this is not how customers should be treated. (Yup, I said "customer"!) When a person calls you three times for the same thing, it means they want to know that you have what they need, hence, they are a customer. When you fail repeatedly to provide them with the information they seek, they don't think of you the next time they need something else that may be related to their first failed search. Hopefully, the folks at Ace of La Crosse will see this, and have a team meeting, about how important satisfying a customer's curiosity by answering a simple question, can be a crucial first step in getting a customer.

I had an experience at this ACE once before that drove me away so I wrote up what happened in YELP…read more Since then I have viewed a very nice response from ACE and a short time later a $20 gift card to bring me back. After a few months I returned to the store and did not have a problem. Last week I received a $5 voucher so I returned once again to purchase a few items. My experience this time was great. A lady by the paint desk helped me find an item that I thought was out of stock until she showed me another section the item I was looking for was in. I also bought some paint. While checking out the store employee CHAD was pleasant, helpful and professional. He asked if I needed a paint stirrer and offered me a can opener also. He made me feel like a valued customer. I shall return to ACE on a regular basis once again, bypassing Walmart. Thanks to all hands at Scholze ACE.

I have gone into the store on several occasions looking for a specific item after searching on…read moreline. It tells me that they have stock on the item which is why I go. When I get there, I go to the specific aisle where the item is supposed to be located and there is none. Most recently a battery charger. One model showed stock in "clearance" and there was another more expensive one showing in stock that I would have purchased. I asked an employee who told me where they "should" be. I informed him that I had already looked and found none. He then said, "well, then they have been stolen"! He did go check in the back and there were none. It has been over a week and one still shows on clearance while the other does say it will be back in stock soon. The inventory is consistently erroneous, making it of no value to the store or customer!! I have worked with inventory most of my life so this is maybe more bothersome to me. I have a high capacity tool battery, with no way to charge it until they get the correct charger back in stock. With automated systems, things do not get ordered if they show on hand inventory. If this only happened occasionally, no big deal but it seems to happen more frequently than it should!!
