I loooveeeee my local hardware store. They have pretty much anything you could ever want. It’s like $ 1 – 2 more than Lowe’s BUT you get much better customer service and it’s more convenient, so it’s totally worth it.(PLUSFREEPOPCORN– YUM) I’ve stopped in here probably 2 – 3 times so far in the ‘nesting’ stage of my pregnancy because I thought it would be a really good idea to do some renovating, in addition to painting, to prepare for baby. Every time you come in here everyone is very friendly and helpful and most of these people have worked here for years. The last time I was in here was for some paint. I needed a small quart of paint for a patch job where the wall got scratched up during construction and I couldn’t find the original paint can/color so I peeled about a finger nail sized piece off the wall and took it in. The guys in the paint department worked diligently for like 20 minutes to try to find me the closest match possible. You think Lowe’s is going to do that? I don’t… haha. I would seriously cry if this store ever closed or moved. It’s been a life saver on more than one occasion when I’ve needed random things like nails, replacement water cut-off valves, zip ties, bird seed, etc.

Simply put, they are the best. Customer service and support is their specialty. Alice Hilliard, one of the pharmacist, has saved me time and money many times. She helps everyone find the most effective way to maintain their health that is cost effective. Medications that are less expensive and just as effective are their specialty. I will not take my prescriptions any place other than Triangle Pharmacy.

Please, from a fellow Unilocaler, go here before you hit up Lowes or Home Depot! This is a family owned business that has amazing service and an impressive inventory for being somewhat smaller than the big box stores. I have never experienced even remotely the same service at this business at another hardware store. I’ve come in several times with a list and there are always knowledgeable associates eager and willing to help. This makes shopping quick and easy! Yesterday they fixed our lawn mower in a matter of hours. It was a bit more expensive but I was happy to pay it. Also they have free popcorn, you can’t beat that.

I much prefer this place to Lowes/Home Depot. Even though Ace is a chain, the store is family run. They’re actually a bit cheaper on many of the hardware items I buy. The staff has always been helpful whenever I’ve come in and am looking for something in particular, but they don’t hound me if I’m just looking around. Oh, and they have free popcorn :)

I had heard great things about this place, but unfortunately I had a bad experience when I went in the other day. They open at 8AM, but when I arrived two minutes earlier at 7:58, the front door was open which I took to assume they had opened shop. However, instead of politely telling me they were not yet open for the business day, I received nasty remarks and eye rolls from several employees that made me rethink ever coming there again. We own a painting business and they are very conveniently located across the street from our residence, but I will not be giving them my business any time soon.

Small for an Ace Hardware, and I think they’re having an identity crisis. They still sell the True Value wares for sale(trash cans and more with the TV logo). I did stop here a few months ago looking for a Big Green Egg, but unlike other Ace Hardware stores, they don’t seem to sell those here. On the other hand, they sell Terro, and that’s enough to get me in the door when there are ants crawling all over my desk after the exterminators came through our office and sprayed everywhere EXCEPT along the accounting department’s group of cubes. Ace is the place to take care of my ant problem. Can’t say I know much about the service, for my most recent visit, I was in, found what I wanted, checked out and was gone…

True Value might be a chain, but it at least gives you the feel of an independent local hardware store. Almost all of the people are exceedingly friendly minus a couple of older guys who are extremely condescending. I thought it was just me, but my wife and father-in-law mentioned the same thing on different occasions. Other than that, it’s my de-facto spot for hardware.

This place was a God-send when we moved into our house. We stalwartly(penny-pinchingly?) insisted on painting the whole interior of the house ourselves. Did it matter that we had never before painted a wall. No! Did we care that our predecessors had re-painted the entirety of the house before putting it on the market to make it move-in ready? Nay! Death to pastels! And so, we set forth on our task, bravely selecting colors, donning some old tee-shirts, and getting to work. Three loops on my ipod later, we found that we were out of fresh rollers, running low on tape, completely disheartened — and with about 5 rooms to go. Triangle True Value is about a mile from our neighborhood. We did make about a million trips to Home Depot, but when we found ourselves just in need of basics, one of us shot out to TTV and picked them up. Not only did we load up on paint supplies, but also caulk, nails, and outdoor adhesive. They also have drugstore-style stuff: medicines, sundry hygiene needs, and stuff for the home like grills, detergent, and coolers. If you’re feeling really brave, you can buy your paint here too — but you have to find the base and then mix it yourself; a little too hands-on for my taste!
