Westlake Ace Hardware

Couldn't find what I was after. Cashier was too busy texting on her phone to help me. She just pointed me to the locked up products that I couldn't see because they were locked up, which I assume she knew. I had to go ask for more help to be able to actually look at the products. They used to have good service here. That's obviously changed.

I went here for specialty orchid potting soil which the nursery was out of. I also got a special Miracle Gro plant food for orchids. This place was prepared.

Ace Hardware is one of the few places to find Mrs. Stewart's blueing. Count on Ace for items that you don't find on every store shelf. I didn't find the product right away so I asked an employee for assistance.. didn't get her name.. but she was nice and definitely helpful because we went an aisle over, there it was. We chatted a bit about the product, had a little laugh, then headed for the register. The clerk there was courteous.. I made my purchase.. and out the door. I did check online first to make sure which store had this product in stock.. not always a guarantee, but it was correct this time.

They usually have what I need. And keeps me from going on to the big box stores.

Great neighborhood hardware store. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
