Nicollet Hardware

I have been in this store quite a few times over the years. In my humble and misguided opinion, this is the best nuts & bolts shop in Minneapolis. Never have I found another type of shop like this.What other shop, near you, that you will find chicks or bunnies and a resident cat?I came in looking for one thing or another and ended up leaving with a tool box sized wood saw, among other things... Such are the dangers of walking into this place. This is not the product you are looking for! I Know! Curse you people! What else can I look at that I must be compelled to buy?

Came here for Ace Wrap. Or a copy of Ace Ventura Pet Detective. THEY DIDN'T HAVE EITHER ONE. FALSE ADVERTISING.Pretty awesome hardware store with great prices on the corner, in the tiny Minnehaha Plaza, in a residential neighborhood in South Minneapolis.Definitely one of the better hardware stores that I've dealt with in the Great Lakes region and really friendly and I got exactly what I needed. Just like in my relationship with the dominatrix in a lot of the pix I post on here.

I've been there numerous times now for random stuff from an organically recycling bin to felt pads for chairs. Staff are always friendly and willing to point you in the right direction. Prices are a little high, but you pay for the connivence. The Ace rewards coupons more than makes up for it. Parking is easy, the store has its own lot. The store also has 2 per cats that you can see wandering around the store at anytime and like a good scratch.

Amazing service. The clerk was very knowledgeable and got keys done that work better than what my apartment gave me

I love our local Ace Hardware for so many reasons. First, they are a cooperatively run business and it definitely shows! Their customer service is always great - workers greet you in the store and ask if you need help finding anything. Plus, they'll give you advice on projects. Home Depot and Menards' employees don't even compare to Ace's knowledgeable and friendly staff! Moreover, this particular Ace has CATS in the store who are so cute and will tag along in your cart or shopping basket. Who doesn't love that!? Ace could be slightly more competitive with their pricing (their potting soil is expensive compared to the big box stores), but I am willing to pay more for great service. Also, if you sign up as a member they frequently send out coupons.

First off I decided to sit on this review for a while... I was going to give them 4 stars but after reading a review of another Yelper I decided to give them 5. Let me tell you why. I didn't like the fact that a they abused Ace, but the more I thought about it they were abusing Yelp. So I applaud the cashier at Ace. Said Yelper decided at the last minute to buy an additional sled. They asked the cashier to wait while they went and got one. She wouldn't. So they only bought one, the store "missed out on a sale". I'm glad the cashier did this. Any self absorbed princess that thinks her time is more valuable than the next customer shouldn't be indulged. Next, Yelp shouldn't be abused. I don't care if you are "Elite" or not, it's not a points game... it's about honest reviews. Don't say in your review that they didn't have a good sled selection, give them 2 stars, then write as a tip to "buy sleds here!" just so you can get "first to tip". Funk that. Wait, did I just age myself?All I'm saying is lets be honest. On that note here is my review. I found the staff extremely polite and helpful.Their selection of both hardware and non hardware extensive. They would definitely be my first stop before driving to the "Big Boys".

Have been loyal to this brand from Colorado/Florida and glad there is one near my house here in MPLS. Staff is super helpful and have been able to fulfill what I have needed for lawn care, painting and grill accessories.

I have shopped here on a regular basis for the last 10 years. Never again. Treated like a criminal because I didn't have a receipt for an appliance cord I was returning. I intended on buying about $50 worth of merchandise, but the refusal to credit me a return/exchange (not cash) is a big bummer. I have not been treated that way anywhere in the Kingfield or Central neighborhoods at any other shop ever. So much for supporting local hardware stores.

Always sound advice and help from the employees on the floor. Thanks!

I am so grateful for the careful guidance I get through my home repair projects. Kevin and Elena carefully talk me through my project recommend the appropriate parts and give me advice on installation. They have saved me hundreds of dollars in plumber bills. ACE Hardware is ace on customer service. You will never ever get this kind of support at a big box store. Support your neighborhood Hardware store forever! Thank you!
