Swartz Ace Hardware

Steve was remarkably helpful tonight! It’s 15 minutes to closing and he not only directly showed me where to find the soil I was looking for, but he was super kind and cheerful as he did it. Gotta love that kinda stuff, when it’s the end of the day on a Friday and someone in a difficult retail job is giving 157%. Thanks brother!

I LOVE SWARTZ! I always have great experiences here but wanted to give a shoutout to the staff who helped me change the battery in a key fob yesterday instead of having to go to the dealership. Swartz for the win, always!!

A local staple for close to 100 years, Swartz's Hardware carries most of my hardware needs. Friendly, helpful staff, housewares, plumbing, electrical, tools, grills, yard equipment, snow blowers and a paint department can all be found in this small store front. Formerly part of the True Value chain, Swartz's is now part of the Ace Hardware family and shares its ownership with Tags of Porter Square, Cambridge. Update: I have decided to deduct one star. For the past year and a half we have all been operating under pandemic conditions. Swartz has always had narrow aisles and tight spacing. Social distancing within Swartz is difficult at best but neither staff nor customers care to even try. It seemed that no matter what I was looking at someone would immediately come over to reach between me and the shelf. Almost no attempts to respect my personal space were made at any time. Secondly, even though we have a city mask mandate in effect, few masks were being worn. Yes, the signs were posted but the staff and half the customers chose to ignore them.

Usually for hardware shopping I use "The Home Depot", but today I've stoped here just for a couple items. I was very surprised that everyone was so friendly. Each person in store asked me about any help. I didn't need it but it was cool. There are a lot of different stuff, including everything from "first need". Unfortunately, they couldn't make me a copy of a key, but its not thei problem - it is a stupid key from Isuzu Trucks and its very difficult find a place where you could make a copy. Inside were very clean, smells very tasty. All shelfs were clean and everything were on the right place. What I can not say about "The Home Depot". And one more thing - there are a lot of outdoor stuff like coals, grill tools and etc. which you always looking for in the last moment.
