Stopped in to the new Westlake Ace Hardware in the Harris teeter shopping plaza on Skeet Club this weekend. They were having a grand opening celebration and I must say, this new space is top notch, probably one of the best looking hardware stores I've been to.
This is certainly more than a hardware store, offering your standard stuff like hardware (including specialty pieces) and pints, but they also sell work clothing, home decor, seasoning for grilling, and everything in between. The staff is all very friendly, and attentive, quick to help find what you're looking for.
My one complaint is their pricing. Though it's convenient and closer than going to the bigger stores, there pricing is very high on a lot of product. Sale items are a little more comparable, but I'll be honest that I think they will have trouble surviving if their pricing structure doesn't get adjusted. read more
