I used to live in a small town in Iowa (population 8,000 or so). Our local bike shop loved Wal-Mart – – the owner said he would gladly service any bike purchased at Wal-Mart (including assembly), since Wal-Mart wouldn’t. He sold a fair number of bikes to people who’d had their Wal-Mart bike repaired several times.

Ditto on Smith Ace. I always go (and will continue to go) to Smith Ace and Intown Ace before I fold and try Home Depot. If you haven’t tried Smith Ace in a while, stop in: the folks are helpful and the plant section has really improved and taunted me into purchasing plants (I did not intend to buy but could not resist) over the last two seasons.

Intown Ace is great, but I must continue to express my love for Smith Ace Hardware on College Ave. The employees there consistently have the best advice about all things automotive and mechanical, from engines to bodywork.

It’s telling that he said Walmart doesn’t care after all the posturing Walmart did with Ace — and the rest of us — starting by saying it would not include a garden store, then only include a small garden store. BS. More reason for us to all to stay away and support our local businesses!
