Bests' Ace Hardware

"Very helpful knowledgeable staff, excellent at mixing paint colors, ( matches every time) making keys ( don't do it yourself at the key maker at Walmart)"

"I keep going back to the Ace Hardware in Lewes because of its great customer service and staff. I am posting this edit because of course this Ace Hardware has moved recently due to the new road construction on Route 1 and 9 in Lewes. You don't have to go far down Route 9 to get to a hardware store that will beat the Big Box Stores every time on service and experience. I love to shop local and support this business. If you are in the area, check out the new Ace Hardware for your hardware needs."

"Local store close to our home here. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Helped me out with paint choices and some other items, knowing I was asking for a future purchase. I know Ace is a chain, but walking In and interacting with the people that worked here was like walking into a locally owned Mom & Pop store. I will definitely be back."

"This is only getting worse by the day. I almost broke my ankle on the way home tonight. Are you looking for a lawsuit? It is your responsibility to fix this and... YOU HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO SO IN THAT BUILDING. UNACCEPTABLE."

"I go to Bests' Ace Hardware mostly to buy birdseed but I usually find something else I want while I'm there. Their birding section is what I think really makes them stand out. They have a great, huge selection of bird food - seed, suet, nuts, etc., & enough bird supplies to keep all the birds in Rehoboth! They have so many cute little houses & feeders, and they have beautiful garden statuary and decorations. You can buy the seed by the brand, in pre-packaged bags, but I prefer their in store mix of seeds & nuts called "Tom's Mix". It's located in one of the galvanized trash cans in the front of the store, each filled with corn, millet, sunflower seeds or peanuts, both in & out of the shell, & more. You take a big scoop & put as much as you want in paper bags they supply. You pay by the pound & they weigh the bags at checkout. I find it to be more affordable and I get exactly what I want that way. They also have a good choice of seeds, bulbs, and plants for the garden and I always end up buying a bunch while I'm there. They have all the usual hardware store stuff - nuts, bolts, paint & supplies, plumbing needs & cleaning products, etc., etc., and you can order online and have it shipped to the store. The also have an interesting choice of "do-dads", little things like magnifying glass, marbles, pen knives, nail files, rubber balls and the like but better, and at Christmas time they have EVERYTHING you could ever need to put in your Christmas stocking! I enjoy birds so much! I put seed & suet outside & on my window sill and approximately 20 different kinds of birds visit me there almost constantly!"
