How Many Remember The "Ace Hardware" Jingle In Their Commercial? Let Me Share With You That They Are Still Helpful Today.

My mom shared a great story with me the other day. She had a Christmas glass block decoration and the Christmas light bulbs burned out in it and she had to replace them. It was a bit of a challenge but she was able to get the set of mini-lights out of the glass block and then she was in search for new lights to replace the burned out lights. She found a set or two but they seemed to have too many lights on them or two plugs on them and it would not work for this project. She went to the Ace Hardware Store and guess what? They solved her problem. They were so kind, gracious and "helpful" to her. They cut off the second plug and she was then able to go and finish her project. She was amazed because she did not know you can cut off a portion of the lights without getting electrical repercussions. I did not know that either. My mom is in her 80's and she was so proud that she was able to accomplish this project. Thank you Ace Hardware for making her day great with your kindness, knowledge and helpful way. That is why I still like local hardware stores. I use to live in a small town and I just loved going to our local hardware store because they gave great customer service to their customers. I would think men like to go to hardware stores because they have all the stuff that men may be interested in. I like also going to hardware stores because they usually have a great answer to helping me solve something when working on a project that needs to be completed. I have also encountered helpful women clerks at hardware stores too.
