Ace Hardware Blue Ridge

If you haven't stopped in, you're missing out. Grab some popcorn just inside the front doors and enjoy the variety! Prices are consistent for Ace Hardware, with some attractive sales. This particular store has a large selection of furniture, including Amish, an impressive Sporting Goods sections with a wide variety of firearms, and a surprising amount of taxidermy. Lots of reviews mentioned purchasing items for cabins, but this Ace delivers so much more.

A huge store. Not your typical hardware store. I couldn't believe everything in this place. Rustic county furniture, absolutely beautiful. Amazing taxidermy in the sporting section for sale. A gun and sporting area that was bigger than alot of gun stores. Not to mention all the regular things you would go to a hardware store for. Friendly staff.

I love our local Ace. This review is specific to the gun department. For starters, it has by far the largest in-stock selection of pistols, rifles, and accessories of any store in the area. Not only the normal everyday stuff you’d expect - Glocks, M&Ps, Sigs, Rugers, Walthers, AR15s, AR22s, bolt action rifles, so many shotguns, etc - but also some fun stuff you don’t see every day. They’ve got two Steyr Augs, a classic Tommy Gun, a Kriss Vector, a good handful of lever action rifles, a Desert Eagle, and some civilian SMG clones like the MP5. I picked up one such clone from them recently - the PTR 9CT. Awesome little gun. The guys here I’ve dealt with and talked to are super knowledgeable and friendly… Mike, Bob, and Terry.. They’ll show you any gun you want to see, chat with you about it, and they’re enthusiastic and happy to be helping you. You can tell they’re true gun guys. Prices vary though. Some guns are priced well and you can find some solid deals. Others, they bought at the height of Covid and the shortages and so they’re way over on those. I had to do some negotiating on the PTR I bought… they had it at 2100, but these go for 1700 all day every day from all reputable shops online and the big box stores. In the end, we arrived at a pretty fair number and I always prefer to support local small business over the big box guys anyway. This won’t be my last purchase from them I’m sure.. and I have no reservation about recommending them if you’re in the area!

We are so impressed with this store! We purchased Amish furniture for our cabin, we’re very impressed with pricing as well as quality. Customer service is fantastic! Steve was very helpful with ordering furniture as well as Lee us up to date on delivery! All around excellent service, we will continue to do business with Ace in Blue Ridge!
