Ace stores are different from Home Depot or Lowe's stores.
Whereas those two big boxes own all the stores with their logo on them, Ace stores are all independently-owned and the store owners are shareholders in the Ace distribution network. So while the local Ace might be owned by a MAGAt, not all of them are.
Except for building materials, anything that an Ace doesn't have that you might need can be bought at At Home or Cost Plus World Market. I flippin' LOVE Cost Plus - although I might not be able to once Trump tariffs them out of business. All the furniture in my house except the computer tables I already had and some pieces I either inherited or bought from thrift stores came from Cost Plus, as did the steel utility cabinets my vanities are based on. For hard-surface flooring, if you have a Floor&Decor store in your area...well, don't go in there if you don't have all day. My kitchen floor, tiled backsplash and bathroom wall tile are all Floor&Decor. (On one of my trips to the coast to shop Floor&Decor for backsplash tile I told one of the workers there that I'd driven 300 miles to get to his fine establishment. "They don't sell tile in Idaho?" "They don't sell THIS tile in Idaho."
