Looks like I could spend an entire day in your store!

Wow this is your paint store?? You can be very proud!It sure doesnt look like any paint store I have been in. Almost worth moving to Fargo! if it wasnt so uffda blizzardy. You have a cafe in your store too?? wow thats amazing. Do you have a pet section? If you sell shoes- it's a mini mall!! Oh! but I bet the paint section is very manly!! I think it looks great and wish I could shop, at least take closeups of the Christmas goodies so we can screen-shop LOL more photos please!

I agree, our Ace hardware stores look nothing like yours! Very pretty. I hear the cash registers from here - hope you have a profitable holiday season.

What a great place to shop! I would be there for hours - hanging out at the paint counter, too!

Hey! Women that'll hang around the paint counter....maybe I could "flirt" a little bit...??!!??!
(Well, it IS the Holiday Season...;-))!

Why are my pix a little blurry? I thought I was holding the camera real still?!
Flash must not have gone off every time...drats!
My cam. is a HP R707.
I had it on the "next to top" pic-quality setting of 5MP, with 2 stars by it.
>>> Should I try it on the 5MP with 3 stars next to the 5??
>>> I'm not sure what the 2 & 3 stars to the right of the 5MP stand for...?

Holy crap! I want to come to your paint store! I'm going to my ace hardware store for my paint Friday and it looks NOTHING like that. Awesome!

Totally wonderful! :)

Bet I could spend some serious time there ..... and bet the music selection rocks too!

Okay, eh!

Jan

Teacats...

You betcha it rocks!! I DID sneak in my "Monster's of Rock" CD this summer on a couple of weekends I worked!
One of our 3 paint computers has speakers on it, and wellll....I had the music low!!!

(Alice Cooper-"Poison"; Quiet Riot-"Bang your head"; etc. Damn fog-machine kept crappin' out however....arrrgghh!)
;-)

CooperB....
Yeah, there's an aisle-side of pet stuff...bird feed/feeders; some Dog & Cat stuff; and a great MN-brand of Dogfood!
There ARE some dogs that come in!! There's a HUGE Great-Dane female; and a "regular" that comes in with his VERY cute Brittany Spaniel. Everyone loves to pet her, and she brings in her soft frisbee!
I'd LOVE to see your Retriever's in there!!

Faron

Agh!! I have red "x"s on the photos and I can't see them!! I wanna see, I wanna see!

I reloaded and now I can see your glorified paint (??!?) store! Amazing, Faron! It's beautiful! You've stocked it with some gorgeous items--I could spend my whole afternoon there. :)

Brittanys LOVE hardware stores! My ex owns 2 stores in NJ, and we always had at least one of our dogs greeting in the store, and sometimes 3! And, as Faron alludes to, ladies, working in a hardware store for a single woman is like Forest Gump and his box of chocolates. All those men - how to choose just one?? :-)

This store is decorated much better than my house is. Someone there has a LOT of talent. This is an Ace store? None of them in Maine look anything like this.

I know many of you regulars 'know' Faron, but I don't. How 'bout a pic of Faron himself at his paint counter? Hmmmm???

Loving it!!!! I got so excited seeing the Christmas stuff I almost pee-ed my pants! TMI?!

What a great place you have!

WOW! What a store! The flowers look great also.

Well, I am the kind of girl who goes to paint and hardware stores while on vacation. (This past weekend, it was Wallauer's in Westchester County.) I could probably spend a day there, even without the Christmas stuff, the music or even the cool guy at the paint counter...but all that combined does make for an attractive nuisance!

Love it!! Now, where is this paint store? We need one here.

Those swoopy silver trees look fun. And I love the large ribbon on the trees.

Home Decor. Dogs. Headbangers Ball. Cute guys at the counter. Paint. I'll bring the fog machine. What more could a gal ask for????

Smiles:)

WOW, Faron! What a fun store! When can I come and shop? ;-)

I wish there were stores around here like yours! I love the swoopy Christmas trees too. When I was growing up, our hardware store had kitchen and dining dept. It was the place in town for brides to make their china selection. But it had nothing compared to yours.

I should take more pics of the furniture!

Sales of some of these pieces are really pickin' up.

Kinda funny...Some evenings they're delivering snowblowers & furniture...?!

Auntjen...YOU can visit ANYTIME!!!
We need some Hotties in there...;-)
(although...in the summer....Uffda!)
(more winks here!)

I TALK big anyway! I turn to a puddle of jelly when a "looker" flips some hair around...*** blush ***!

I'll bet you Gal's would REALLY like some pics of all the Snowblowers & all the high-end Weber grills now wouldn't you!??!?!
;-)

Hey...a new pic here...!

...and a blurry shot of the "Real" part of the store...LOL!

Faron

faron too cool on the music ( Alice Cooper went to my high school)
Do you really have cafe in your store? and I would love to bring the guys in the store, they love going places with us. They tidy up- picking up things that have fallen on the floor so I can put them back on the shelves(except balls on low shelves- they are keepers- LOL!)
If we travel west in the future- we will put fargo on the itinerary and bring the guys. I think our neighbors parents live there.
You store is a treasure- every town needs one. We have one similar- but not cool like yours- ie music and dogs- about 20 miles away- I dont drop in for paint.

OMG, THIS is what all paint stores need to look like . . . what a cool place!
Lynn

OOOppsss!!

I may have caused a misunderstanding! We don't actually have MY kinda music on the overhead PA-system! The store owners/Mgr. would have a coronary!!
(If it was up to ME though....;-))

Cooper...
I would SO love to see your Goldens' someday!!
Ahh yes...Alice Cooper...one of the best!

The Cafe? Why yes...right across from the paint counter!
So I'm right next to cookies, sandwiches, Espresso-drinks, etc.!!

Faron

Faron, I could easily drop some serious change in that store. It's not my local Ace by any means (thank god for that LOL My pocketbook would hurt).

What a gorgeous store. Honestly, I'd be a regular if I lived nearby.
