They treat you like family at this locally managed, independent, True Value. While the store is…read moresmall, it seems like they carry everything. We stopped by to pick up a few items in prep for the upcoming snow storm. And, I picked up some bird (squirrel) food for my feathered friends. Prices are great and they send coupons if your on their mailing list of preferred customers. The staff is unbelievably helpful. We talked to the clerk about snow blowers and he educated us about the different horse powers and motorized verses battery pack models. If they don't have something, they will order it for you. And they offer repair services on some equipment (such as lawn mowers). The parking lot is easy in and out. The staff will help you carry stuff to the car.

Just bought a push mower.. I stopped at Gales first very helpful associate but I wanted to see if…read morethere was anything cheaper comparing apples to apples not oranges. Looked at a couple places..exact price. Free delivery. Here's the difference. Gales $20 for delivery. Justin took care of registering my mower w/ Toro.so I could get the free side chute sent. I had also forgotten my manual at Gales.. When delivered within 1 hour sure enough it was included. Yes, I chose to pay extra . The great customer service, my endless questions were answered. With the staff workers, I always feel they're here for me. I've never had to hunt for someone to help. and the feeling that I made the right choice more then covered it

I have to give a huge shoutout to Rick at Ace Hardware in Texas Corners. This is the kind of…read morecustomer service that is getting harder and harder to find. I originally bought my Weber grill from the Fireplace and Grill Shop in downtown Kalamazoo, but they no longer sell Weber. I needed some replacement igniters and figured Ace Hardware would be my best bet. I first went to my local Ace Hardware and explained what I needed. Basically, I was told, "Nope, sorry, there's nothing we can do." So I tried another Ace in the next town over and got pretty much the exact same answer along with another hardware store that is not an Ace Hardware. Then I called Ace Hardware in Texas Corners and spoke with Rick. What a completely different experience. Rick didn't just tell me he couldn't help or send me on my way. He took the time to look into it, worked on finding the igniters, and actually contacted Weber on my behalf. He ended up getting Weber to cover the ENTIRE manifold assembly under warranty! When the new manifold came in, Rick called me to let me know it was there. I picked it up, got everything back together, and now my grill is almost like new again. Rick absolutely went above and beyond when two other stores had already told me there was nothing they could do. He could have easily done the same thing, but instead he took ownership of the problem and figured out a solution. That's what customer service is supposed to be. Rick was absolutely amazing, and Ace Hardware in Texas Corners has earned my business because of him. I'll gladly drive a little farther to shop at a place that takes care of its customers like this. Thank you, Rick!

Instead of asking me what I was looking for one of the employees trailed after me as though I was a shoplifter. Since I could not find what I was looking for I finally turned around and asked if they had the item I sought and if so where I could find it. Turns out they had a sparse selection and did not have the item I was looking to buy but I found a cheaply made cord I thought might suffice. It was expensive and the clerk was almost hostile when I plopped down a $20 bill to pay for it. No greeting, no thank you, nothing but nastiness. She counted out the change as though she was giving blood. Turns out the cord I bought would not work for my intended purpose but no way I was going back to that place to return it - ever. Now I travel the extra few miles to Menards or Walmart to puchase hardware items. I'd like to give my business to hometown 'small business' but not this store.

The rest of this I couldn't speak higher of my experience with this shop. sooo If you don't want to read my gushing stop here and do your self a favour and GO HERE! instead of home depot, cause you will actually get the right tools and the right hardware that you need rather than a bunch of prefab crap that will rust, wear or fall apart within a year or 2. I went in for a few separate projects and needing a few different items for different weather, both high stress and weather and underwater chains and links. They had galv/stainless/zinc/bare options for bolts screws and chains. I thought I died and went to bolt heaven when I walked into their entirely dedicated second floor nut and bolt room. I got some stainless Nylock nuts and everything else that I needed. The lady who assisted me was both courteous and knowledgable, her and I discussed the projects and we confirmed our reservations and made choices on the right products. It set my under 15 bucks for everything and I was able to finish my projects to a T without a problem. For anyone who knows anything about building and tools, this place is the place to go, Im SO SO SO SO tired of the crap that you find at home depot and you just cant get what you need for spec projects (which almost every project is). You can tell when you see all the kits that someone has to half build so they can get the parts they need. Please go to this place and support local shops cause if they go out of business were screwed when we need to build anything that isnt a prefab kitchen or shed or some crappy plastering kit. This place is the bees knees!

I just shook my head and said no more. Shame on you who owns this store and doesn't mandate mask wearing among your employees while customers are adhering to the governor's mandate. Now I will drive farther to get what I need. No problem!! A disappointed (former) customer.

Their large seed blocks are priced lower than the local superstore's brand. Living out it rural America, we visit Tractor Supply frequently. Some Tractor Supply stores also fill propane tanks for your barbecue grill. The one on Shaver Road in Kalamazoo has propane refilling. Along with stuff for "the farm", they have clothes, shoes, and pet supplies. For those of you who are comfortable with "at home animal husbandry", they do have some of the shots that young puppies and kitties need available there. They have some great John Deere toys for kids too as well as wagons, trailers, and so many other things! The one they don't have -- an amigo at any of the stores so if you are handicapped -- bring your own scooter!
