O'Donnell Ace Hardware

This is truly an old-school hardware store, with an employee greeting every customer and helping them find whatever they need. TONS of skills among the staff. They added Stihl a few years ago and their service tech is among the best I’ve ever seen. They also have LODGE cookware and a bunch of household stuff. If you need it, they’ve got it. Obviously, I’m a huge fan.

This is a very good hardware store, but like all smaller places, their prices run higher than the mega-stores like Lowe's and Home Depot. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The store is laid out in an odd manner that makes finding certain things a challenge sometimes. Location is good, just a matter of yards off of Grand Ave. and the parking is more than adequate.

All of the important items YOU CANNOT get at the big box store are at this Ace. Great selection and knowledgeable staff.

An employee bragged about not missing a day of work despite contracting COVID. My other experiences here have been positive. Still, not great.

If you need something specific, or if you need someone who is knowledgeable and willing to be helpful, this is the place to go. It is not particularly cheap, but they almost always have multiple varieties of whatever screw, bolt, washer, flange, or whatever thing it is you need. They also have great paint. Definitely worth it to get you paint here.nnAdditionally, you won't have to walk a mile to get to the door for a quick item. And, they carry Craftsman tools.nnIf you are building a deck, or putting in flooring, this is not the place. If you're in need of a common (or not so common) hardware, gardening equipment, plumbing, or other supplies, it's worth a stop.
