Ace Hardware in Des Plaines, IL Closing

[frankush]

This is the Ace on Oakton. VERY little left except tons of nuts and bolts and displays. 70% off. I picked up some screws I use all the time and a nifty little vertical pipe rack to store all my cutoffs of angle iron and the like. Paid $25 for the rack. Lots of pegboard shelves. Might be worth a quick look if you're local.

Bummer! I'm working in Ariington Heights 90 percent of the time, Wish I would have known sooner. Did they have any nut/bolt storage racks for sale?

All of the displays were for sale, which included the nut and bolt stuff. There was still a very good selection of just that. I believe this is the last week.

Ace stores are one of the few hardware store chains where the owners choose what they stock, so you get a lot of variety and often more full of the interesting and unique items that locals actually use.

I would fill up on all the nuts and bolts you can. You can always use them, especially if you can get the bins too!
