Eastside Ace Hardware — Local services in Lolo

This store is convenient to my inlaw's ranch, so I've been coming here for tools and supplies for quite a few years. I can't remember ever being unable to get whatever I needed, no matter how obscure it was.

They also sell lumber, which has occasionally been very convenient as well.

They always ask if I have an "Ace rewards card", which I don't as there isn't a nearby Ace store to my home in Colorado. I do so much business here though that I probably should go ahead...

I am a professional contractor and probably have more knowledge than most of the help in this store and it frustrates me to have to run through the Hoops to get what I need. However the store is nicely stocked and he has done a good job of reworking the mess the previous owners...

So guess depending on the day is if you get nice and good service or u get looked down on.. but would...
