Ace Hardware has finally opened in Red Feather!

Ace Hardware Red Feather LakesRed Feather Lakes, Colorado.

What if you woke up one morning and decided to paint your bathroom? Or let’s say your kitchen faucet decides to leak, or you just bought a new cabin and want to put new hardware on the cabinets, or change out the lockset on the front door? 

If you lived in the Red Feather area, you’d have to drive a good distance, just to purchase the paint, faucet, lockset, supplies and/or necessary tools to get the job done- but not anymore!

 

 Now we can get all of those items close to home with very little drive time; and that’s why I’m so excited that Ace Hardware has finally opened!

 We need to have CO Detectors for one of my listings that is supposed to close next week.  When I went by the house yesterday morning, there were no CO detectors, because the tenants took them when they moved out…and the Appraiser is coming! 

I went over to Ace Hardware and purchased 3.  I also purchased an electrical outlet cover because one was missing in the house and we needed one of those too.  In less than ½ hour I got what I needed, visited with 2 neighbors and took photos for this post too!

Now, this might seem a little like “so what” to those who live in larger cities, with hardware stores everywhere and big department stores with a hardware aisle or two, inside.  But I can tell you, this is BIG-  for me and everyone in the Red Feather/Livermore area!  I don't remember a time when I was so happy to be in a hardware store!

We CAN wake up in the morning and decide to paint the bathroom. If you wake up feeling creative- seize the day!

We CAN purchase CO Detectors and get them installed well before the Appraiser gets there, too!

We CAN replace that leaky faucet or update the kitchen cabinet hardware, repair a screen, get a picture hanger, a flashlight, or a ladder in record time.

Plus, there is a huge inventory of many other necessary materials and tools we'll need for all of our home and outside projects.

I signed up for the Ace Rewards card because I’m pretty sure I will be shopping there often.

 

The New Red Feather Lakes Ace Hardware Store is located at 24 Main Street, in beautiful “downtown” Red Feather Lakes, CO.   Right across the street from the “Coming Soon” Village Emporium.

Their phone number is 970-293-8406.

 

…..and as a matter of fact, I have been thinking about painting our bathroom, and definitely the garage doors in the spring! What project have you been thinking about?

Mary, I would never had guessed that the mystery store was an ACE Hardware.  Like the old West gamblers you were playing it straight while holding an ACE up your sleeve!

Ace Hardware is known in our area for incredible service and you are always greeted personally by an associate when you enter the store and asked how you need help!  This is a GREAT Addition to the Red Feather Lakes area!

Thanks Laura, it will be a huge convenience you're right!

 

Hi Sharon- yes, you have experienced the distance 1st hand! :-)  Thank you Sharon.

 

Hi there Bruce, I can see where it would be confusing...but the mystery store is still a mystery, and the Hardware Store is across the street!  Yes, it's a verifiable business boom on Main Street in Red Feather :-) Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it!

I don't think we have to drive as far as you for certain stores, but I can certainly understand your excitement at getting a new store in your small town. We do have a hardware store, but anytime a business opens up we get happy because that means there's less chance we have to drive somewhere for something we need.

I agree Debbie- time is in short supply on some days- so it's really nice when we don't have to drive as far for certain things. Also, this Ace Hardware has the same prices as in nearby Fort Collins...so why we would we make the drive?
