Talked to a elderly lady, yesterday. She was telling me that Ace Hardware is closing due to owner is retiring and his kids don't want to take over. Is there any truth to that?

Well we can go to Peru or Pontiac or Seneca and Morris. Those look to be the closest stores to streator.

I have friends that work there and none of them have said anything like that to me as of yet. that would be devastating to the downtown area. also the owner does a lot for the city of Streator too.

I agree with dive, again I know their prices aren't always the greatest but they are in town and have been a staple of the community forever and employee's are local and usually very helpful. Hope it is not true!!!!!!

I would think that they would have no problem selling the business to someone. A cornerstone of the community for decades and still thriving downtown despite the presence of Walmart. Until its confirmed though I'll treat it as another rumor.

Wow, you're right about it should be easy to sell. As many employees as they have, it would be something for them to look into, to buy it as a co-op, rather than it close, IF that's even the case.

Hope that isn't the case, you don't go to Ace for the price, that is irrelevant, you go there because they flat have it, if it is made, they have it.
That would be one of the biggest hits this town has taken...........

I agree, that would be a great loss to our community, I couldn't even imagine trying to find some of the things somewhere else.

I know a woman there who knows more than the guys about everything who works at Ace, She's a smart little cookie.

I am waiting for that little short guy to announce that the owner wants to retire because of "all those" people who use the streets near his business as a toilet.
