Default Hardware Stores down South

After a week of DIY projects last week and about a dozen trips to Home Depot from Duval, I began to wonder if there was a good hardware store down in my area? I would have checked in Wildwood but the road work on 301 made driving around town impossible. Anyone know of a good hardware store down south?

i think the ACE hardware in Wildwood should be accessible despite the roadwork, there is also an ACE at 466 and Belvedere Blvd...gn

I live in Amelia and it takes me less time to go to the Ace in Spanish springs.10 minutes by car if you know the back roads.

I have been using the ACE hardware in Wildwood. Go to 466a, head West until just past the school, turn left on N Gamble, to Hall turn right and it will bring you right into the parking lot and you never go on 301. Takes me less then 10 minutes to get there from Sunset Pointe. Very well stocked store. I like the one in Southern Trace a little better, but takes 20 minutes to get there because of traffic and lights etc.

To Home Depot I go up Micro, Lake Ella, Rolling Acres. I'm going to give the ACE in Wildwood a try. Most of my needs are simple: a bolt here, a fastener there, etc. My wife never understands why I have to put 30 miles on the car to do a simple project.
