Haven't seen one of these signs anywhere I've shopped.... but... I'll keep an eye out...

Maybe we need a 30.06-type web site to promote these types of positive places?? :thumbs2:

Just down the street from me. I like it! At first I thought it was going to be a 30.06 sign or something. Glad to see what it really was! :)

So I went down to my local Ace Hardware the other day to pick up some O-Rings, some metric screws, an EZ-out, a stick of PVC pipe and an air compressor fitting.

Here is the sign I was presented with on the front door...it's HUGE...takes up about half of the glass on the entry way.

I guess we all know where I'll be doing *MY* hardware shopping in the future... :txflag:

We should pass this along.

This is at Cypress Ace Hardware
11655 Jones Rd
Houston, TX

**Edited to add address and location**
Looks like they saw the one at the Chappell Hill Bank. Identical wording .

I assume these are franchises and not a corporate-wide policy?

Closest Ace store to me is in Cedar Park. I will give them as much business as I can. I am up loading the pic of the sign to my phone. I will show the management and see what they say.

I'll check the ACE Hardware close to my neighborhood in the morning to see if they have the same sign.
It's highly unlikely that they would, as all ACE Hardware locations are independently owned.

Well, I saw a flier for that specific sign at 10-ring...a local sign company is making/selling that specific sign around here. This is the first one I've seen "in the wild."

But yes, I think it's right from the bank's sign.

Lovin' it!

Louetta @ Grant Rd, Cypress,Texas.
USA1 probably knows the one I speak of.
Sure do neighbor. ;-)
I think we're all neighbors then. I'm near Louetta & Grant, and this is the Ace over on Jones...

Yep, you're closer to texanron than me. I'm at N.Eldridge @ Northpoint...right down the road.
