INDIE BIZ OF THE WEEK
Pastime Ace Hardware in El Cerrito.
This Ace Hardware has been family run for over 40 years and this neighborhood institution has many things going for it. Top on the list is their great customer service, there is always someone to (happily) help you if needed. They also have convenient and fun price check machines everywhere, so if you can't wait for a salesperson or want to play ( I confess I love to use those machines, it reminds me of being a child and playing pretend grocery store)...
Beyond the customer service, this family run store is clean and has a great housewares department,a great lighting department and they carry many ramdom hardware store items, which is perfect for me as an artist. I love to wander the aisles and think about how I can use these mystery items.
