This is a smaller Ace hardware, but it usually has what I go on for, and I always walk out with more than planned. Staff are helpful when asked, but don't hover over me insisting on helping. The garden center is on the other side of the parking lot, and is wonderful. I have not had occasion to use the rockery, but it's fun to look at.

Went into the store found what I needed quickly and then had to wait for the cashier. There were about four or five associates on the floor standing around with nothing to do and The only cashier was on the phone for about 10 minutes unable to check out the customers that were waiting in line. I finally left without purchasing the item.

I always have a positive experience here. The nursery always has healthy plants and the hardware store is like an old time hardware, they still believe in customer service and you can find a little of everything. If I have a project and have checked YouTube and still dont know what to do, I head on over to Payless Hardware and there is always an employee on staff to help me with the project. I love that they are still people friendly and I dont feel rushed or pressured while I ask questions or shop.
