This customer’s positive review of Plummer’s Ace Hardware is honest and accurate. It’s also evidence of why Plummer’s is the recipient of the Best of the Parkland award for Home Improvement Store.
Plummer’s Ace Hardware has been open for 53 years. The business has been in the family since 1969. Son Scott took over ownership and operation of the business from his parents Jim and Delores Plummer in 1987. He currently manages the business with Larry Adams.
Over the years, the store has served generations of local residents with its large inventory of quality products, excellent customer service and convenience of being open seven days a week.
In 2016, the family business became an Ace Hardware Store and doubled its inventory.
“We might not be as large as Lowe’s or Menards, but being an Ace store means that we do stock the most popular items that most homes or businesses need when it comes to repair and maintenance,” said Scott.
From plumbing and paint to furnace filters and cutting keys, Plummer’s offers a wide variety of products and services. They also sell water softener salt and gardening supplies. They sell fun items, too, like Weber and Traeger grills and Blackstone griddles.
“We have a really good selection and a lot of items the big-box stores don’t have,” said Scott. “We have a lot of competition here in Farmington, but I think one reason we can compete with the big guys is our employees.”
Scott said the Ace Hardware Store’s motto is “the helpful place.”
“That is our goal, to be as helpful as possible,” he said. “I am fortunate to have employees who feel as strongly about providing good customer service as I do.”
