Ace Hardware of Ankeny

I live 5 minutes from two big box hardware stores, but choose to drive out of my way to go to Ace Hardware.  Every time I need help finding something, a knowledgeable person will show me exactly where the product is.  Everyone is friendly and the store is big enough to have what I need yet not so large that it’s overwhelming.  If you sign up for their rewards they will send nice coupons in the mail, and the 3% back with the Apple Card is great too!

I can’t say enough good things about this business! But the customer service is by far the best! Someone always takes the time to ASK ME what i need and provides expert advice! I explain my project and a worker will think of everything i could possibly need for it! Our latest project was painting our inserts and we got all our supplies and paint from here!

I had two things going on at once. Started my snow blower, didn't work very smooth called ace. They picked up the blower and had it running great in a few days. I also had two cracked basement windows. Went to Ankeny Ace talked to John, he cut some plexiglass for me while I waited. Recommended some caulking went home and fixed the two windows. They are not always the cheapest but they know what their doing.

Perfect. Had exactly what I need for reasonable prices. Great selection. Great staff and clean environment.

Great little hardware store. I like the fact that I can buy the nuts and bolts, etc., piecemeal instead of a whole pack like the big box stores sell. And, I'm now an ACE rewards member!

Boone Ace Hardware

I like exploring all the different things they sale here. I prefer to only shop here after 4:30pm as the kids who work after school are so helpful and nice. During the day the adults are very unwelcoming and make you feel likea nuisance for just stepping through the door.

Very helpful.  Good products, reasonably priced.  Yes, more expensive than WalMart, but much better quality.

Went to Ace for a brass fitting, hose clamps,  and seen a role of electrical tape that tickled my fancy. They had exactly what I needed. They always ask me if I need help when walking in the door.

I wish they would carry less stuff that Walmart has. Because they'll never be able to beat the price on grass seed, lawn ornaments or grills. And instead focus more on the home repair and improvement. I think a solid third of the store space is wasted on things Walmart has at better prices. With that extra space they could carry some green treated lumber or composite lumber! Or here's a crazy idea how about a plain black shingle for repairs after storms.

Only employees I seen were young kids that wouldn't have a clue if you needed help with anything no one even asked if needed help. Nothing like other ace's.

Body Parts Store, Inc

It has been quit a few years since my last visit to this store but I haven't forgotten the great service and friendly staff. You made my Hobbie a much more enjoyable time. But I have moved and am wondering if you ship to out of state places?

Nice products but to get answers and call backs needs much improvement

Something went wrong with their product and when I came and informed? A very nice man  took care of me n a very good way.  I recommend this business 100%

Automotive paint was mixed incorrectly ( to much black pigment) cost me over $600 in waist.  When I come back and ask if it  can be fix the answer was you are on your own.

This place has all the hard to find fasteners you cant find at a regular store! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped me to find  not only what I came in needing but also a few other very useful items I now use regularly. They have sooo much in stock you don't have to wait for what you need which is great because time is money. Ask them about Q bond. That stuff is great. Get some before you have a need for it. You will use it.

The sewer doctors

Shawn responded to my message quickly and was willing to come out on a Sunday evening or after 5pm during the week. He worked quickly and efficiently to unclog 2 toilets and a shower drain. He was reseaonably priced and took care to clean up after the job. I would definitely recommend Shawn for any plumbing jobs and call on him again in the future.

I was having trouble with my toilet and called the Sewer Doctors. Shawn came about an hour after I called and had everything good as new in about 10 minutes. He was very kind, professional, and communicative. 10/10 recommend!

Came home from work to a bathroom flooded. Gave The Sewer Doctor a call and he got our clogged fixed and pipes running good again. Very thankful for the quick help because in a house of 7 (6 of them female) we definitely need our bathrooms to work good.

I highly recommend The Sewer Doctors! We woke up to a sewer backup in our basement & they got here the same day, which I appreciate so much! Shawn knows what he is doing and does a fantastic job at it! Great at communicating and letting you know what is going on and you can’t beat the prices! He is very knowledgeable and professional.

Very happy with the job they did.  Came out at 6PM and properly assessed my situation and gave me a fair estimate to repair.  Will be going to them from now on for drain issues!

Walmart Supercenter

Its very hit-or-miss here. Some employees are absolutely great people. They will go out of their way to be friendly and helpful in any way possible. Then there are a few that just ruin the experience. They would rather spit on you than help with anything.

The store itself is great! I really like the clothing section. A bit jealous of the business pants at this location vs the one back home. Very clean and organized. Was able to find what I needed pretty quick.
Would’ve given 5-⭐️, but the employees seemed to be very angry with the world. There were a few exceptional employees that assisted me, but everyone basically looked miserable.

This Walmart superstore is slowly becoming  slum. The isles are unkempt, the shelves are not organized.  The produce isles are super messy. There's random shoppers with dogs in the produce and meat area.

The bathroom is worse than the rest area in Florida.  Super dirty, trash bins are full and debris littered the entire bathroom.

It's disappointing to slowly see your favorite grocer self destruct.

Aldi across the street is a better option, there are hyvee or fareway down on 8th street.

They finally repave the parking lot, but the interior remained unkept..

Poory managed and slowly deteriorating.i recommend going to Aldi across the street, Hyvee or fareway down the road.

This is the nicest Walmart I've EVER been to!  All employees were pleasant, helpful and smiled when I spoke to them and asked for help.  NOT ONE were on their phone ... At all!  The store was clean, organized and it was overall a pleasant shopping experience.  Considering I walked a mile to get there, it was well worth the visit. I'm 100% certain the employee demographic had a lot to do with my positive experience!!  I was there in the early a m.  Thank you!!

Where to start....Small quick grocery pick up tonight.  Went to the cashiers and NO CASHIERS!!!!   Not a one.  When I asked a staff person to get a cashier I was informed that no one currently present was able or available. Now for a disabled person such as myself, having a cashier person is not only convenient it is necessary for my shopping experience. As I am hanging onto the the cart and my cane for balance, the store employee looks me dead in the eye and says "You will just have to do it yourself."  Can you imagine the frustration, anger, and humiliation one feels in this instance??  During this ordeal only ONE employee attempted to help. The ladies (a cashier and team leader) actions were worthless, condensing, and without a shred of compassion or smidgen of customer service expertise. As I was laboring and causing myself pain trying to scan heavy (to me) items, maintain my balance and suppress the screaming urge to just leave everything I needed in the cart and leave the building, I watched the very same folks telling another customer that there was not anyone who could help him get gift cards at the self check out, there was no one who could open a register, and it must be his (cards) fault the transaction wasn't working. This was after I watched them "teach" this poor customer how to do a Wal-Mart gift card at the self checkout.  I have seen many levels of customer service in my 5 decades, watching, tonight, Walmart's winning race to the bottom was both breathtaking and disgusting.

Mr. Handyman of North Oklahoma City and Edmond

This company was very helpful and came out the same day that I called to have my dryer vent duct clean. The serviceman was quick and showed me the cleaned out duct from the camera he had and cleaned the laundry room. Very courteous. However he did quote me $270 to clean it when he first arrived, but I told him I was quoted &170, so he changed the bill to $170. Not sure what happened there. I was very satisfied with the job

Excellent job on everything. He fixed our shower, faucet in kitchen, bathroom, door in closet. Tim Langley was on time, answered all our questions we asked, was fast and efficient with repairs.  We definitely would use him and refer him to any of our friends. Thank you so much for sending him to us.

Tom and his crew are a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that they walked me through the quoting process and explained everything in detail.

They did a great job caulking around my bathtub. I know I could have done it myself but it would have looked like I did it myself instead of the professional look that was delivered.

They also did a great job of replacing my kitchen sink. It gave the kitchen the looking of a million dollar upgrade while spending pennies in comparison.

I would highly recommend giving them a chance to quote you for your small projects around the home.  It will be money well spent and time well saved!

My husband is not a handyman and household repairs were beginning to stack up. I am so thankful to find Mr. Handyman who has helped me with three home projects so far, and I have definite plans to use them again. They were both professional and affordable, providing quality service. Tim Langley has been our technician for all three projects. He is amazing. He crawled through our less than ideal crawl space and came out with a smile on his face. Thank you so much Tim and congratulations on your new family member!

The team arrived promptly, and were attentive to the requirements. They were quick to assess the needs and quickly provided a solution. Their quote for the work was very reasonable. They got to work quickly, and did an amazing job both moving the door and installing the water heater. Would absolutely use this group again for any household work.

I just want to give a shout out to Sara. (Hope that's how you spell it). Personally I would give her 5+ stars. She's very personable, cares about people, takes time to help in any way that she can, mannered, funny and has great insight! This place is better with her in it!

"BEWARE*. CASH ONLY ....Have had my banking information stolen 4 times using my card at the checkout. Not sure why this Walmart is so sketchy but I only use cash for all purchases. I go elsewhere if I need to make a big purchase.

If I could choose ZERO STARS I WOULD!
Online pickup took over 20 minutes even though the staff spoke to my husband before they went back inside. This was at approx  10pm...no other customers were there. My husband called me saying that nobody was coming and that he was feeling ill. I  called the number to speak to online orders staff, there was no answer and the call was redirected to the help desk...tried to explain what was happening but she interrupted me! THEN when I was still trying to explain she hung up on me!!! We will never shop at Walmart again!!!

Website doesn't match the store
Hours are different even when you call. Money center does not cash personal check over 200.00 which website says $1000 and up with additional charges. Store is a mess. Staff does not great you. I have to use a cane so I use the electric cart when there and the greeter came and grabbed me when going out by the shoulder and said I can't take it out of the store to my car.

Overall not a terrible place. Be careful with the rotisserie chickens. We bought one and when we got home we wanted to eat it and it was raw in the middle.

School of Rock

Went today for their Grand opening and was blown away! Fantastic concept and super nice people! Both of my sons did a 15-minute demo class and tour. They have classes for young ones all the way to adults focusing both on learning to play an instrument and they also let them jam out together and enjoy the social aspect of music which is so important. They offer monthly memberships and summer camps that seemed reasonably priced. My kids are dying to join now. 10/10 do recommend checking it out for yourself.

I LOVE SCHOOL OF ROCK! I have been a student here for around two years and i absolutely love it. If you’re looking for a way to introduce your child to music this is the way, such friendly and kind staff :)

My 13 year old son has been with SOR for almost a year now. Hands down the best decision we ever made.  This is the one thing that he looks forward to every week. The live performace experience has been amazing! I highly recommend!

This place is so cool! My son is taking private lessons and doing the rehearsals where they play with other members of a band. A perfect place for a music-loving kid.  The perfect mix of comraderie and challenge.

My nephew attends School of Rock and it’s amazing how much he has progressed in a few months time. We caught their show at Lefty’s and the kids definitely rocked the house!

Hardwood Innovations LLC

Rick and the staff at Hardwood are the best! I am a contractor from Edmond, OK and I have ordered hundreds of cabinet doors and have never had one problem with size, fit, or quality! The only place to go for cabinet doors!

Great,professional, very happy with every order

Very professional, outstanding service and product. Only place i use for all my cabinet doors and drawers

Always top notch craftsmanship, cabinet doors and drawer fronts have always been to my customers satisfaction

Rick is great guy,good service and they work with you not against you!

American Country Home Store

We placed an order for an item that was back ordered, which was frustrating but understandable. The staff at American Country was wonderful in providing information on updates.  They answered all inquiries promptly and fully. They were caring and solicitous, I felt as if I was dealing with someone who cared and someone I knew. The bookcase is massive and impressive, we love it! Thank you to all who helped!

Our wicker table and loveseat are beautiful! Comfortable and inviting - we don’t know why we waited so long!

I bought the pencil post bed and am very pleased with it. I got it unfinished so I could stain it the color I needed. The service was excellent. I had one contact person which was great because she could follow the whole process through, answer questions, as well as make some customized adjustments so it would work with my adjustable bed.  We've had the bed a couple of years now and it is very sturdy and beautiful.

I purchased four custom rattan chairs. Wendy and Maggie went out of their way to help me get them delivered to my home before a very long distance move so that the movers could ship them with our household goods and avoid very large shipping fees.  The chairs turned out beautifully and work very well in our island home. I would highly recommend working with this company!

This delightful store has a wonderful selection of unique and well made items. I have loved every single item I purchased from this place. The customer service is personal and they will go past the extra mile to help.
