This place is the bomb! When I moved to Stevens Square they helped me pick out some awesome paint…read moreand I have been returning to them ever since. Service is something that people often overlook when they go shopping for things in their home. The Ace on Nicollet always has a ton of knowledgeable staff on hand and ready for your questions. They are also super friendly :) Here are some specifics of how awesome these guys are. I bought an underbed storage unit from Ikea that was too long to fit under my bed. I tried to hacksaw two ends of the unit to make it shorter and as with many DIY projects, I straight up ruined it, or so I thought. One of the guys at Ace was able to use their basement workshop to shorten it properly with a table saw and on top of that he drilled some new screw holes so I could reassemble the unit. I think the total was like 3 or 4 bucks. Another project I started today, I was making a DIY bike wall mount and they found all the perfect parts, Ian (one of the cool cats that works there) re-threaded a bike stem, provided suggestions for all the right mounting hardware and probably some other things I forgot. They could tell that I was passionate about this project and they seemed pretty interested in it themselves. Can't say it enough, these guys rock!

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. They did have what I needed and they were nice. Rough part of town anytime of the day. Be careful out there.

Several times, I have found myself asking a bunch of questions and getting helpful answers from the staff.

If you need paint, this is the store - Lowell is the man - he once matched 20-year-old paint so I could touch up cabinets in my apartment I just moved into exactly - you could not even tell where I touched it up! I am ALWAYS greeted immediately when I come in the door. I work for a company that needs supplies for the many apartment building that they own, and Welna hardware is always there to help ( they even special ordered a cleaning product because I requested it!). Don't forget to get some of that free homemade popcorn either ( my grandson never does! LOL!). Wonderful people, wonderful service!!! to all Welna Hardware owners and employees: Thanks for being there for us! You're a blessing!

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.

For non-drivers, it is really handy to be able to drop in and pick up all kinds of home improvement gadgets--fasteners, paint, hooks, replacement keys, etc.--ask about the best choices and get a clear, thorough answer, have a pleasant interaction with the staff, and pay a reasonable price. I also love shopping locally, on principle. Hooray for the Seward neighborhood, which has such great local businesses!

Pretty awesome hardware store with great prices on the corner, in the tiny Minnehaha Plaza, in a residential neighborhood in South Minneapolis. Definitely one of the better hardware stores that I've dealt with in the Great Lakes region and really friendly and I got exactly what I needed.

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.

Useful highlights include: 1) They have 95% of anything I could need neatly organized in their store, and it's far closer (and less stressful to shop at) vs any big-box place. 2) The service here is *impressive*. Every staff member I've ever interacted with has been amazingly knowledgeable and happy to help me troubleshoot whatever project I have boxed myself into. 3) They have good store hours. 4) In addition to running a great business, their little shop-pup brings a smile to my face... as does their investment in solar which helps power the store. If you are ever in the need for hardware related purchases, this place is worth checking out!!
