Tri-County Ace — Local services in Clemson

Whenever we visit Clemson University for a game or to see our son, Tri-County Ace is a place that we always stop.

As you enter the store, immediately to the left is a display of Clemson University swag. You can go to the usual places on campus or downtown, but this store has many items you just won't find in the usual Clemson stores. Whether it's metal yard signs or tailgating accessories, Ace always has something I can purchase that I like and I have not seen elsewhere. In addition, the prices are always great.

Where I live you get the big box chains. The associates in this store are always friendly and very helpful. Something to be said for having them approach you, versus spending your time looking for someone who you eventually find, and then they have to call someone else.

Store is well organized and the signs are visible and easy to guide you to the various sections. Great selection of items that are available for purchase, and overall just a clean, enjoyable experience.

Again, cashier not only greets you when you come in, but there are many friendly and knowledgeable associates throughout the store to assist you if you need it.

Next time you are in town, stop by and check it out...

He went to ask the manager what "he wanted to do about it". The manager, Budd, was extremely rude and would not budge on the price, even though it was stocked, in his store and marked with a lower price. He didn't offer other products and simply said he wouldn't do anything about it. We left and went to the ace in Seneca where the people were MUCH friendlier and helped us find what we needed. We did end up paying full price, because the tool was stocked where it was supposed to be, in Seneca but we truly didn't mind because of the good...

Yesterday my boyfriend and i went in looking for tools for his job( electrician). We were the only 2 costumers in the store and there were 3 employees working at the time. We spent a few minutes on one aisle but within a few minutes of going to the next aisle, 2 of the employees were watching and following us but doing it very non chalantly. We were watched up until the moment we paid and exited the store. This is my second experience like this at the clemson location, only this time i had someone with me to witness it. We both felt like criminals and very uncomfortable,because of the color of our skin. For now on we'll continue to go out of our way to shop at the...
