I'm not sure what happened during the other reviewer's experience, but I've returned several items to Cronk's that I purchased at other Ace locations. Before we moved to our place in Newaygo full-time, we had it as a vacation home, so I would buy something at Gemmen's Ace in Hudsonville that I hoped would work. If it didn't, I'd return it to Cronk's. There doesn't seem to be much of a small-town upcharge, and I like to support a local business rather than drive to a box store on Alpine. It's a good value for the time I save.

Now that Havemen is out of business, and our Walmart is getting better all the time, and with a new Meijer coming to town, I guess I don't need Ace, unless I cannot find what I need somewhere else. The problem is not with the cashiers or other staff; they are always nice. The problem is when I need technical help. I often get some kind of sublte attitude, as though I am interrupting their little social group in the back. And, when I do find help, the person usually lacks technical and product knowledge. Maybe it's me, and I have simply been unlucky to get the trainees or disgruntled employees almost every time FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS since I moved to town. The "Ace, the Helpful Place" motto does not seem to fit this particular store.

They are always willing to help you with what you are looking for, and they greet you as soon as you walk in the door. They are also a hub for UPS packages, which is really nice if you miss your package or are worried about packages getting stolen off of your porch. They also do RENTALS! Their rentals are relatively inexpensive and super convenient if you need to use something that you dont own. They also do repairs and tune-ups! You can take in your chainsaw, your lawnmower, whatever, and they will either fix it for you or tell you where you can take it if for whatever reason they cannot do it there. I love this place, and highly recommend it over big box hardware stores!
