Town and Country is so different. Not be going back. Nothing but young kids working there today.

Home Depot and Lowes have substantially more inventory than Ace. None of them are local brands. Ace may have felt like a local boutique, but it's not, nor has it ever been. There are equipment companies in the Triangle much smaller than Ace that will appreciate your lawn mower repair business.

The Kildaire store in the post is no longer an Ace affiliate, as of early this summer. That store and 7 or 8 others became split from the number one ("ace") hardware chain, and I was told it was over franchise fees. If you want an Ace store, try two Raleigh stores, near the intersections of Capital Blvd and Peace, or Falls of Neuse and Spring Forest.

With a Walmart Neighborhood Market going in a Hwy 55 and High House in the former Kroger shopping center, this is an odd development.

They have a permit already. The shopping center was going to be anchored by a Winn Dixie, but when it was being built (actually days before the steel was delivered) Winn Dixie declared bankruptcy and did not go,through with the store. They subdivided the space and put the Ace in. In the few years since the leftover 20,000 sf was never leased. While many of us that lived nearby hoped for something like a Trader Joes to come in, when Wal Mart came coming it worth it to the landlord to actually buy the hardware store out of their lease early.

I've had my lawnmower and other small equipment repaired at Burke Brothers and am always satisfied. But I agree it's a shame that more small hardware stores can't make a go of it.

I am in and out of that store in 5 minutes flat everytime. They are insulted if you decline their help looking for something. My days of spendng 30 minutes in a Home Depot or Lowes looking for somebody to tell me where somthing is are over!
