Bates Ace Hardware has been inspiring ambitious homeowners since 1921 with rows upon rows of home-improvement implements, household appliances, and domestic essentials. The shop’s technicians are certified to perform warrantee repair tasks for lawn mowers, power equipment, and karaoke machines from manufacturers including Stihl, Snapper, and Honda, while their salespeople are trained to answer nearly any home-improvement question their customers ask. Inside, a wide selection of hardware, paint, plumbing, and electrical supplies shares space with gifts, home decor, men's and women's clothing, and housewares. Customers can venture outside to find a variety of power equipment and a dedicating cooking area, while the garden section brims with bagged mulch and soil, along with a variety of plants from Monrovia Nursery when spring rolls around.
