But, I think that Amazon is a bigger threat to Home Depot, Lowes, and ACE. Why drive to a store when you can get it the next day and usually for less money?
Go to Ace when I need help in figuring out what to buy. Very knowledgable employees.

Will cost extra but the help makes it worth it. When I do not need help will go to either Lowes or HD.

This why Ace will stay in business.
