Wauwatosa Ace Hardware

Great neighborhood hardware store. Prices are higher than the big box stores, but the customer service is out of this world in comparison. The new layout is impressive and well kept.

Good selection. Fair prices. However, if the staff doesn’t know what they’re talking about, I wish they would let me know vs wasting my time for a couple minutes only to let me find a wayyy better solution. It’s fine to not know an answer! 😊

I called about 20 minutes before closing with a "hardware emergency" and asked if they would be able to accommodate me. The girl who answered said "Of course! Come on in!" When I got there, she greeted me, asked how she could help, directed me to the section I needed to go to, and gave me the name of the associate who could help me in that section. After making my way over, the Assistant Manager offered to help me while the other staff member finished what he was doing. Not only did the Assistant Manager help me with everything I needed, we had a wonderful conversation that seemed to speed up what could have been several minutes of awkward silence (we've all been there). When I was ready to check out, he walked me back up to the front and even said goodbye to me before he went to finish his closing duties. Of course, I forgot a small item and needed to be directed to another area, but on the way there I saw the Assistant Manager again a few aisles down who smiled, waved to me, and said "Hello again!" I made my way back up to the front where the nice lady had held the rest of my items for me and checked out. I thanked her for helping me even though they were about to close and she said, "Of course! If we're here, we're always willing to help." It may not seem like much, but this was a stop for something work-related after a hectic 12 hour shift that I would need for my next 12 hour shift the following day. To be honest, I was absolutely dreading walking into a hardware store (right before closing) and feeling like an idiot because I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going. The last hardware store I went to made me want to only ever google my problems and order the solution on Amazon. I don't know if they have special training here, are old fashioned, or are just inherently wonderful people, but I will absolutely be back to this gem of a store. Thank you for helping and educating an inexperienced person who just wants to learn how to do things with their own hands!
