Ace Hardware in The Woodlands TX!!

Ace hardware opened in The Woodlands this last fall and I can't tell you how excited we were for them to open.  You are probably wondering why anyone would get excited about a hardware store opening. 

We have lived in the most northern area of Harris County for over 12 years now and for the most part love it. One of the only drawbacks has been not having conveniences.  I have always said that we are 20 minutes from everything but not close to anything.  A trip to the hardware story could easily take an hour or longer round trip.  You can imagine our excitement when we saw an Ace opening up just 5 minutes north of us in The Woodlands.

We are fairly constant patrons but I did not realize it was a franchise until I thought about writing this post and asked if it was okay for me to take pictures.  In doing so I found out the owners Dennie and Christine Rowland live just a little south of us here in Harris County.  Their story could be our story except they took action.  We were forever saying someone needs to open a hardware store up here. Dennie thought the same thing and after one of those treks to the big hardware store he came home in frustration and got on the computer to check out putting in a hardware store.  I'm not sure how long ago he started the process but about 8 months ago they opened up. 

They did a wonderful job with the store; it is like a mini Lowe's or Home Depot.  They carry almost everything you find in a big store; they just don't have as many.  For example my husband put in our sprinkler system several years ago and now maintains it.  He has been able to get parts he needs for maintenance without having to make the long trek to the big stores. 

As you can see from the pictures it is much more than just a hardware store.  I love the fact that I can stop in for a quick gift.  They have some wonderful decorator items.  They also have some wonderful spices.  They have 4 full shelves of spices, soups, jams, jellies, salsas etc. etc.  We love John Henry's Grilling spices and sauces and yes they carry them.  We had to drive 20 minutes to get them prior to Ace Hardware opening.  So this is just one more reason we are glad they opened.

I have stopped in several times to have keys made.  I have made them for my own house and also for listings.  I have heard that they re-key but I don't know that for sure.

They have a paint department selling Benjamin Moore paint and I noticed that they sell small samples.  I don't know about you but I have wasted so much money buying a gallon of paint only to find out that I don't like the color.  These sample paint sizes are WONDERFUL. 

I understand business has been good and I for one am thrilled as I love having the convenience of a hardware store just up the street.
