You are greeted with care when you enter the facilities. Very helpful and engaging if you appear to need assistance. They were pleasant and informative. I would recommend this place to all. I didnt see any disparagement or differential treatment to any customers.

I Was Impressed That We Had A Clean An Up To Date Ace Hardware. This Company Was Here Long Before Menards/Lowe. The Workers Were Helpful & Knowledgeable. A Neighborhood Ace Is Great For Our Communities With Parking. Location Is Kool Also. More Businesses Are Needed In This Area. This Community Also Utilizes Such A Store. Thank You Ace Hardware/Sponsors.

My boyfriend picked up a part he ordered yesterday from here and returned that part today cause we ended up didnt need it after all. One of the employees was really rude to him when he came back in today. I would give this place a 1 star if it wasnt for the person who ended up helping my boyfriend return this part. Thank you for your kindness.

This place is my last resort for anything. Called to ask about screens... No help. I asked if they made window screens. Yes. What is the process? How long does it take, price, what the screens are made of, warranty, anything I need to know to make a purchase. He couldnt tell me any of that information. I asked about price. He claimed that he couldnt give me a price without the size. I asked about a price range. Pick two sizes and give me the price of those as an example! He couldnt even give me any idea of how much a screen would cost. So I asked about a 10 by 12...$15... Who would pay that? Making screens and giving information must be rocket science because getting any information was to hard. Ill just make them myself! Less hastle!The cashiers are always nice! Thats the only highlight and the reason for 2 stars.

Review №23

Visiting this store brought back memories of days gone by. There is nothing like the very comforting experience of stepping outside the time-space continuum, having to wait your turn, but when it finally is your turn, having the full, unhurried, and personal attention of knowledgeable persons who can always seem to go directly to the nook or cranny in which is hidden the very item youre looking for.While the big box stores are sleek and sometimes less expensive, they are also uber sanitized, impersonal, and lacking in magic partly because there is so much to take in that your senses soon become overwhelmed. All you want to do is get out without the feelings that you are not purchasing enough items, or spending enough money to justify the trip. One has to wonder if that is by design.There is still magic in the universe even if its only as big as a widget.

Awful, rude employees. Went to ask a simple question as to where a product is located,Rude employee tells me to go to customer service, when he could have told me what aisle to look in.I came in to store on 13th Broadway, Gary, In. On 9-17-2014 politely interrupted two employees conversing amongst themselves. The older employee of the two was just plain rude and accused me of interrupting their conversation.. HELLO Im the customer who could spend my money somewhere else. The employees didnt even acknowledge when came into the store or approached them, just continued their conversation as if I wasnt there. The older employee even accused me of being rude for interrupting his conversation. That employees approach and attitude wasnt professional. This could could and should have been handled better. I was very angry with them and reminded them I am a paying customer and do expect reasonable courteous customer service. I acted a little indignant after the way I was treated and told them I would never shop there again, and that I would spread the word avoid this store if you want polite customer service. I reminded them for all they knew, I could have been a secret shopper. Im pained having to do this, but this business must learn you dont treat customer rudely.

My fiance needed a handsaw that could cut through a corroded screw for a toilet. I asked for a price estimate and was told $7-$10. I called Ace and was forwarded to a woman where I asked her for a recommendation. She huffily told me about a power saw that would cost $79...Just because youve heard of a specific type of saw does not mean it is universal or necessary. I fear that if I called and asked about flyswatters, shed recommend a flame thrower. I guess having a job does not mean you are good at it.

Customer service is ridiculous from the uhaul dealer. I went to rent a uhaul for my mother and the supervisor was extremely rude . He told me I owed a past due balance and basically made it seem like I wasted his time because I was unable tot rent the uhaul in my name. Me and my sister returned to rent the uhaul in her name and before we could speak the owner told her he was not going to rent to her, then turned to me and told me I needed to pay my debt! He told my sister that because she was even with me is part of the reason he would not rent to us. He also said that Uhaul does not allow people to rent on others behalf. He stormed off and closed his office door! We were so embarrassed and disgusted with how we were treated. I filed a complaint with Uhaul and the representative said that Uhaul actually DOES allow people to rent on others behalf. The ONLY reason Im giving this place two stars is because of the cashiers who assisted me. Other than that the uhaul dealer was horrible.

I totally agree with another review concerning rude employees...I really try to by past there store on 13th and Broadway now located near 25th and Broadway . I had a near exact experience with that same older employee no one was in the store and he happen to be standing in the same location i was in the store,I was also polite and asked a question he replied go to the service desk and someone will be there to help you .Again no other customers were in the store , I did what he requested and to my surprise he followed me to the service desk and then stood there waiting for me to ask him again for help. I had to ask why did he request me to go to the service desk to again go to the same location where we was standing and I looking for an item . He never use the computer to look it up the item he knew where it was, in the location we both were standing. I also experience a rude cashier I am somewhat elderly so most young people I converse with I may say after they help me, i will say a word of endearment like thank you sweetheart for helping me . I have been to other places of business and no one has mentioned anything to me after they hand me my change and say thank you sweetheart but at Ace Hardware the young lady cashier stated to me while she was handing back my change she stated leave your sweetheart at home now have a good day I know we live in trying times but I think that was too much she added . I will never go back there after this last encounter ...not all the personal are rude but if i am spending my money I expect to be treated at least in a professional way and they have no people skills . Corporate should take a serious look at that store in Gary Indiana.

Review №47

I wish zero starts were an option. The customer service here is horrid, especially at the front counter. Also, prices here are a joke. Expect the hood premium on every item. I only shopped here because the product I needed was not available at a closer storeI got such horrible service that I am taking the product back. I delayed my project and purchased from Menards on Ridge. Never again will I be shopping at this overpriced establishment.

The Ace hardware on 13th and Broadway in Gary Indiana has moved to 25th and Broadway Midway the block in the old Roller Rink/Corbin Steel building. the building has more spacing difficult to get in and out of across 25th Avenue in rush hour time much larger building new facilities nicer than the one on 13th. same staff same ownership any amenities that you were able to find that the old location should be present at the new location.

I dislike this store and hope it will close soon. They would not let me return an item I bought there. I will never ever shop at this store, Menards is 1000% better. As previous people have stated, they are rude and terribly unprofessional. Unless you want to be mistreated, dont go there. Sad.
