Products, service, atmosphere of an old fashioned neighborhood hardware store. Well stocked with everything the big box stores have with very knowledgeable staff. Can help you figure how to rig ways to fix your problem.
Just found a breaker that neither home depot or lowes had in their empty shells. Will go to Thompson first from now on. Great helpful staff too. Thank you
All of the employees working in the store were extremely helpful and friendly. This was my first visit and I will be back. I passed a big box store to get to there and happy I did.
I work for a local memory care assisted living. One of our residents loves to garden. Wish of a Lifetime granted her wish to have a garden on wheels. Thompson Ace not only put together a beautiful selection for the garden, but they delivered them to our door. This means so much not only to our community, but to the family of our special lady. Thank you Ace for going above and beyond!
I needed a pool key made for a renter & they couldnt help me. The guy was nice tho
Did locate AC filters (last 2), however no price tag and a bit shocked at register as each were 12.99. Size was 23.5 X 21.5. Prices always higher at Ace.
Will only honor the Craftsman hand tool warranty if you bought the tool from them at this store!!! What??? Dont sell Craftsman tools if you dont want to honor the oldest and best known hand tool warranty. Tried to support local business (I had other things to buy) but took my business to the big blue box instead, sad...
Totally incompetent. The employees here need training in the basic knowledge of their merchandise. They dont understand the meaning of Customer Service. Just plain lazy.
Great service! We bought a fancy Charcoal but discovered we really didnt know how to use a few features. Went back to store and they were happy to let us ask tons of questions. Ended up buying a few more grilling gadgets but the knowledge was free and super helpful! Definitely will be back when supplies run out! Thanks for the help from our helpful hardware man!
I would give 5 stars if the store was bigger and offered even more products.New slogan - Ace is the place for the helpful Chicken Lady?I know I am doing her a disservice by not remembering her name, Tallish lady blondish hair... Black belt in Chicken products.Very helpful staff... their cash register counter needs to be bigger, but they do not have room. Lifting anything of size so the cashier can reach through and scan it is more than a little cumbersome.Prices are typical retail, no military or aarp discounts... Parking lot... is ok... They are close to me so I wish they would buy out and expand to the store next to them. Kudos for having chicken feed and scratch in stock.
Very helpful in solving my problem with some furniture fixes.
Very helpful employees, with lots of neat things to check out. I have only been once but i really loved the store. Not bad prices either. Check it out.
Close to home, prices good. Good selection
My favorite hardware store hands down. Always helpful staff, easy to find what I need
Every single employee Ive talked to is smiling and knows exactly where I need to go to find what Im looking for. It may be a smaller store but its more personal.
Frank was great! He loaded bales of hay in my truck & filled my propane tank while I paid for purchases. Other employees nice & helpful too.
Very nice store
I went to this store today after I was unable to place an order online, and the staff there was so great. They helped me with the order, arranged for delivery of the large items, and waived the delivery fee. Super service and so convenient. Special thanks to Scotty, sales associate.
Continously awesome customer service. Convenient and has everything you need. Small store but packed with goodies. Great prices and always knowledgeable.
Always helpful. Friendly staff
Nice clean place to shop and very helpful employees.
Helpful staff, but a small store with sometimes limited stock. But a good place to get hvac filters.
A great place for hardware. The staff helped me find everything I needed.
I went to this Ace hardware because I heard they had a good selection of knives. They did have a large case full of knives but quite a few if then were cheap combo pocket knife /window breaker /seat belt cutter things. They had a few hunting knives that I could tell from the lack of heft alone they would fall apart in a couple days, and the handle on some of them were so small only a child could use them. The knives were also more expensive than they were probably worth but hey you gotta turn a profit somehow and the prices werent unseemly. The employees were very helpful and attentive. They immediately opened the case for me and let me try out just about every knife in the store. They clearly werent too knowledgeable about knives which is fine! Its a hardware store not a knife store! Overall I was unimpressed by the selection of knives. However this is a good hardware store and right up the street from me so I usually go there for my hardware needs and always find what Im looking for.
ACE is the place! When you need odds and ends for one-off bolts and nuts. They sell them as singles and you just put them in a brown paper bag and write what you selected and cash out. They have also been cool with me bring the part missing or needing the screws of unknown size and just test fit on the spot before I bag them. This makes it so you know the hardware is perfect and should only need one trip! Staff has always been super friendly and great help as well!Wonderful, wonderful place!
Small store but has what I normally need. They have only a few staff but are pretty helpful when you can find them. Store is clean.
Friendly staff. Found what I needed. ..
Great selection for my needs
Staff was very kind, courteous and helpful without being over bearing. They were ready to professionally assist if needed.
The staff at Thompson Ace Hardware is absolutely amazing!!! They went above and beyond to help me find everything I needed for my car. If it wasnt for Larry and Anna, I would have been driving around with a lose car battery. Those two really deserve a raise!
Very good store with great customer service. The staff there are always looking to help you any way they can.
I love this location all the people are very personable and theyre very quick to help theres always a lot of different people and read the best so you know who works here and who doesnt
More personalized service than an Ace that is much closer.
The gentleman was friendly & helping but they were not stocked like the other Ace Ive been to plus they didnt have anything that I was looking for, I did mention that they were friendly though.🤗
Poor customer service. I had 4 people in front of me. Waited in line patiently, no rush because it’s Sunday. The person checking customers out let someone else who had just walked up check out next.. even though I wasn’t in a hurry I still felt it was really rude. Instead of making a scene I put my stuff down quietly and left. I called when I left and asked for a manager. A woman answered named Allison and she said she was in fact the assistant manager. Turns out she was the one who checked me out... I asked her why she thought it was okay to let someone else in front of me. She said it’s because I looked at him. In no way does that mean “sure cut in front of me”. She defended her action and said sorry. I’m sad that management treats customers this way. I’m happy she said sorry but she didn’t even say come back we will make it up to you or something. Huge coaching opportunity here.
Great store but kind of pricey
I have only been shopping at Thompson Ace Hardware on Old St. Augustine Rd for about 3 months. I went in for Lampberge Oil. It is really amazing that the store employees just ignore you, they dont greet you, smile anything, In fact I mostly feel lite a bother to the. I ask for a certain scent in the lampberge oil and was told that everything they have is out on the shelf. She did not ask what kind I was looking for, she did not come over and try to help. I had to go to her, she looked up answered me and went back to doing nothing, or playing on her phone, I am not sure. Later I ask if she would please check the inventory on the computer and low and behold they had it. However either the computer inventory is wrong or the employee did not look it up properly Although I was told everything was on the shelf there were quite a few bottles in the cabinets under the display shelf. Imagine that, all someone had to do was open the cabinet doors! I did ask another staff member if he saw the scent I was looking for and it was obvious I was bothering him. He looked at the shelf and when I went around the corner he left. It was very obvious this girl I ask is lazy and will not help a customer unless she is really pushed and lied the first time she is ask for something. But this guy just walked away. This is the 3rd time I had to settle for a scent since they were out of the one I wanted again. But I enjoy shopping and looking through the cute household items they sell. Amazon sells Lampberge oil much cheaper but I enjoy going into the store until yesterday. So after all that I purchased 70.00 worth of items, 2 bottles of Lampberge oil. I had 3 stamps left on my card left to be stamped for a free bottle and the girl would not just give me the 3rd stamp. Forget that is usually the amount i spend each time I go in, forget that another employee gave me extra stamp the last time I was in because they did not have my scent again and the money i spent. She said I was lucky I was getting 2 stamps since they were purchased on the same order???? I ask that the manager call me the next day because I was told she was not in. I left my name and number and have not heard from her. I sent an email to the store and still have not heard from her. I have told my daughter, mom, and 2 friends who began buying their lampeberge oil and lamps because of me sharing that they had the oil there, However; after what happened and they will not be going back. Whats really amazing is running into a lady in the parking lot who was upset because of an issue she had earlier or the day before. I think she was going to return something but was dreading doing it. Im not sure she went into the store or not, she was very upset. She told me to be careful because the staff will tell their manager that the customer screamed and cussed. Im not surprised based on my treatment I received. I will go back in 1 more time purchase another bottle of lampberge oil to get my free bottle. Its the lease they can do.
Its just like their jingle Ace is the place I was doing a apartment Fix-It job and all I need to do is go in ask for some help they never lead me astray. Their prices are very reasonable. Their plants are beautiful and if they cant help you they will tell you where to go for what you need. My father used to go to Ace Hardware in Orange Park. I go to Ace Hardware off San Jose and my brother goes to Ace Hardware on the Northside. Ace hardware is the place!!😁😎⭐😄
Not a full service hardware, but efficient. Excellent customer service!
They refuse access to pubic restrooms to paying customers. When I complained to staff member Dave and asked him to let ownership know that the policy is unacceptable, he replied:“It’s not my job to pass on complaints, you need to call them yourself.”They have lost a customer for life!
They were out of the item I wanted, and I was told it would be in the next day, and it wasnt
My wife and I have been shopping here so ve this store opened. We love the selection and the feel of an small town hardware store. Ive bought tools, tool chests, paint, screws, bolts, a sink faucet, had a car key made, plants, dirt, flowers, seeds, rocks and much more. I like that I can bring my dog with me and my wife and I both enjoy the free popcorn and food demos they have there periodically. The Garlic Unleashed seasoning is great! One of the best parts is the people there are friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to find what you are looking for and if they dont have it, will order it for you. Ill choose Ace Hardware over a big box store any day. Highly recommended!
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and happy to help. Good place for that odd tool or last minute camping must have. Store was clean and neat. Checkout is typically speedy.
The all are professional employees and very nice understanding people. ACE Hardware should be very proud of them.
This is such a nice convenient hardware store! My go to when I dont feel like walking all over a big behemoth store. It has most of your hardware needs and even has paint and some great items for hostess or housewarming gifts!
Great store great establishment I was helped from the time I entered the store to the time I left Larry was a big help
Extremely friendly staff! From the minute you walk in the door youre greeted by the cashiers. They ask what youre looking for or what you need help with. They paid someone in that department to either come up and help you or to meet you as youre walking down the aisle. They put Service back into customer service!Note: I am not employed by or compensated in any way, by anyone, for my review of this business. My review is only based on my experiences with this business at this location (unless otherwise noted in the review itself) on this particular visit.
Actual Hardware Store!Had large assortment of hardware and related stuff (tools, fasteners & gardening.). Some yard stuff, little pricey- but not overly so considering small business. Helpful, knowledgeable staff
Excellent place to go shopping for hardware needs plus other essentials. Outdoor cooking, Gardening, House paint indoor/outdoor plus thousands of other items. You will love the personal and helpful attention you get.
Leaving a review because I had a stellar experience with Frank, who helped in the paint department. I usually go to Lowe’s, but they didn’t have zero VOC primer. I went into Ace to get paint for my stone fireplace. He was patient, and helped me find exactly what I was looking for- zero VOC primer AND paint (so glad they had both!) the selection was great, and I will definitely try Ace first next time because of the amazing service.
I wont be back to this store. Lady tells me I have to leave my backpack with her, I didnt argue with her i just turned around. But 80 year old grandma can bring her back in and its big enough to hold 2 bodies.
Always a standard and close to home.
I will never spend a dime here again and I dont recommend you should either.1. The owner is INCREDIBLY shady.2. The employees are pushed to sell you more than you need so that you spend more.3. If you special order something, youre looking at a 50%+ chance itll be late.4. You can find everything there cheaper at nearby stores.
Very helpful staff, nice clean store!
Extremely helpful in every area. Made several trips here during our home renovation process, each and every time the employees were friendly, professional and helped us find exactly what we needed. Love this store!
While staying with family for the holidays, my daughter needed a lent trap for her dryer. I called Thompsons Ace Hardware and spoke with Jacqueline Thompson (who was very busy) and after asking a few questions over the phone gave me her number to text questions and answers. We were able to order and pay for it over the phone. Very friendly and courteous top notch customer service. I recommend to everone to visit this family business.
One of the nicest Aces I have been in. Roomy, not cluttered. Great selection. Staff was great.
I really love ace hardware, everyone is so friendly! Great place to shop!
Very helpful staff they even offered to have something sent from their other store for me...I will most definitely do business here...
Yesterday was my first time stopping in. I was looking for something to control rust on my mint plants. Larry was very knowlegable to the topic as well as all of the other pest control products they have available. Not only does he know about them but he uses them at home. Bring a first time gardener It was really nice to have someone to talk to that could give educated advice about how to fix my problems. This will be my go to place for garden help and supplies. I recommend if you need some help with your outside projects you talk to Larry!
Lawn, garden and pesticide items that you cant find at the big box stores, very knowledgeable staff
Ace hardware has the friendliest and the most helpful associates of any hardware store
They are always helpful and pleasant. They have a wide variety of products.
Friendly personal attention by the employees. Like the unique items they have that you will not find in the super chains.
Shocked!!! So much racial profiling at this store. Worst place to shop peacefully.
Kind and informative employees. Lots to choose from depending on your project.
Mr. Brian has been so amazing and helpful, as we remodel the interior of our home! This is our go-to hardware store due to the quality customer service and vast product knowledge.
Helpful and friendly staff
This store is special because of friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Key was made and looked around and found interesting and useful things to purchase
Greeted at door.Sometimes not asked to be helped when walking around but maybe they were with other customers or stocking..When helped very nice service.Sure better than walking the huge stores and getting tired trying to find hardware items...Recommended!
Overpriced and often dont have exactly what Im looking for. The associates are always nice though, lol.
Friendly knowledgeable staff, ok selection.
These folks are very kind and generous with their time and energy. They go out of their way to help you anyway they can.
After waiting a couple of weeks for a replacement part I finally get the call to pick up the replacement chair. I show up and they havent separated the set so I had to wait another 20 mins. Okay, no big deal, just a little annoying that Ive had to come to the store twice for an online order and they arent being considerate of my time, nor are they apologetic in any way. I go to assemble my new chair and when I go to put on the last arm, it turns out they gave me the wrong part and now I have to go back AGAIN. I called to make sure they has the correct piece before driving out there again and they laughed it off. When I go to pick up the correct part they really couldnt care less. Im really disappointed in their lack of customer service and their inability to care.
Very clean, polite and helpful employees. If you cant find what you are looking for always a smiling employee to help
Good service. Knowledgeable. Fast. My first choice when I need something to fix something.
Its the place I go all the time for work . The people there are always polite and friendly ! 👍👍👍
Good clearance, but my online order was not there. Store ended up canceling my order 🙁
Awesome store! Staff is so helpful and pleasant
Great owner and great people. If you have question they are right there with a smile.
Nice store, much bigger inside than I thought it was. Doesnt have the nursery like the one down the road, but really great for anything else!
The best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’m not from the area but putting this review in is the least I could do.
Always helpful and polite. Great price for our hard to find dog food.
Great store! Lots of great stuff including gifts. Expensive 🙄
Very helpful employees and well stocked store.
My favorite spot for Tylers candles
Just went here and was going to buy some adirondack pool chairs, and asked where the ladyes room was first and the man told me technically we dont have a ladies room and walked away. What does that even mean? Terrible. I just left and I will never be back to spend my money here.
Its convienent and local but they dont have the buying power of Lowes or HD. Good for what it is even though you pay a little more
Hey guys or girls if you need some good tools and hardware supplies come on down the Ace Hardware man they have an amazing selection for you to choose from I went there going to get carpet and stuff I need for my house in flames thought on that suspended Force when I came through like a champ I got it when I need it for half or not even half of what I thought I had good discounts good service good quality so check it out
Good inventory high prices
Ideal hardware store. I will go back again!!
My husband and my self had an awesome time shopping here, greeted by wonderful staffs and they were all very helpful from beginning to end .
So very helpful! Shop local it makes a difference
Good stuff and a lot cheaper than Winn-Dixie
Great service and good selection of products
My husband’s happy place.
Found a beautiful Datil Pepper plant there ! ❤
Love it! If they dont have it, theyll order it for you.
Customer Service was great. Staff was very friendly
