Well since Yelp asked me, I love going to Ace Hardware in Dacula! It has the old fashion look that…read moreI like, and its small enough to navigate, unlike the giant box stores. Todd is the manager there, he is always ready to help, and he knows the store top to bottom, Todd could probably walk the entire store blindfolded.
Honestly, there is a young, tall kid that works there, he is nice, but he asks me "can I help you find something?", I say no, then I turn around and he is still standing there and asks "can I help you find something?". And then that kind of continues, finally after about five or six times, I just tell him that I dont want any help, because even though he is a nice kid, he kind of becomes overbearing, as if he wants me to leave or something.
But overall, the store is organized, they carry a lot of smaller plumbing, knife, and adhesive items that you cant find anywhere else. So I love the store here in Dacula, and I will continue to shop there.
Very convenient and well organized. Everyone knows you pay a little bit more at ACE hardware, but its well worth the money for the service you receive and the quality of what they sell.
I would recommend that the store clean out the little knife shop completely, clean it out totally, then update it with fresh paint, fresh countertops, and fresh carpet, and then turn that into a section devoted solely to home security and surveillance products such as ring, nest, etc..etc... because that business is booming big time. If that little knife shop was converted into a state of the art surveillance room, and they carried every little motion detector, accessory, and camera available, then that would start paying super dividends. Since I am in the surveillance and security industry, I can tell you there is a ton of money to be made. And the market is only getting bigger and bigger. Also, ACE can work it out so that they get a piece of the action on the back end, meaning that when customers pay their yearly amount for Ring service, or whoever the service provider is, Ring gets a percentage of the re-occurring fees. Then before you know it, That builds up really big, and really fast!! I would certainly buy a lot of cameras from there if they did that.
