Main Street Ace Hardware at 136 South Main Street, Bowling Green, Ohio.

One of several business' owned by the Kraft family of Bowling Green. This hardware store is a throw-back to the days when customer service and satisfaction was the absolute first priority for companies. The people working at the BG ACE are welcoming, friendly, and will eager to help. It is a rare thing to ask about any obscure need that the folks here don't know the aisle to look for it in.

What is more, shopping here is fun. The store layout twists and turns through the ancient building and leaves you smiling. Poking through the racks of merchandise is enjoyable and even relaxing. You get ideas of things to do just looking through things.

Also, there are always sales and clearance racks. Most any warm day of the year there are carts and tables outside to draw you into the store. More than a few times I've picked-up handy items for pennies just by coming through the store.

The ACE also has creations by store employees, made from hardware in the store itself. These items include Steam Punk style lights, chess boards and other artistic creations and it is worth passing through just to see those alone.

Prices are entirely fair. You might save a few cents going to a national chain but you won't enjoy service or feel satisfied as you will coming here. The bottom line is that this is a well run and fun place to shop, and the people there deserve your business.
