We used to have a Cambria True Value Hardware store up the street. It was good to go to in a pinch–you could get a lot of things there, but it didn’t replace a major trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot. Then, the True Value part was dropped and they became Cambria Hardware. Unfortunately, the name wasn’t the only thing that changed, as they dropped most of their stock as well. We stubbornly continued to go there for years, but nearly always had to run to one of the big box stores because we couldn’t find what we were looking for.
Enter: Cambria Ace Hardware. The old place is under new ownership and a new franchise. We checked it out this week and they have quite the selection of goods (more than the previous store ever had). I hope the store is a success because this should save us a lot of time and running around. It seems like any time we are working on a project, we’re always missing something. Running to Richland to get a part or whatever supplies we need isn’t conducive when you’re in the middle of something, so this will be a good deal if it pans out.
