Stay away from here. I have gone into this location twice. Once last year to have keys made and once just today (6/11/2017) to also have a key made. First time the guy asked me what I needed an then said to wait while he took care of a uhaul customer. Took the customer outside to look at what they had and came back 3 or 4 times over a 15 minute period and never helped me. Didnt even send anyone over to help. Then just today I went in and immediately upon entering the woman to the left of the entrance behind a counter asked if I need help with anything. I said yes I needed a key copied. She assured me someone would be right down. I heard her tell someone I needed a key made and an acknowledgement followed her request. 10 minutes went by and nobody ever came back. Upon leaving the store one worker was reading a catalog at the front desk and she was sitting there leaning on the counter reading something. Neither of them were immediately assiting anyone and neither od them even noticed me walk out. I have been vacationing here at our property for over 30 years right on wildwood ave. I will never come here again. Horrible customer service.

I read the most recent review. And somewhat disagree. Just last week I went to get a key copied . I walked in and noticed employees standing around and some helping other customers. In a pleasant but loud voice I announced that I needed to get a key made. Immediately a young man replied" I can help you sir" and took me back to the key machine. I was out of there in less than 10 minutes. Speak and you shall be heard. I noticed a personnel change this year. They dont seem to be as responsive as what I have been used to. But my overall experience with this business has been good. Its convenient to have a local hardware store that carries a large variety of goods at competitive prices. The other choice is a trip to Lowes in Rio or Home Depot in Burleigh. And the quality of service in those stores changes with the weather. Support local businesses if you want them to stay local.

An amazing and complete inventory of hardware items!! Specific metric stainless-steel screw and nut?? Got it! Exotic light bulb?? Got it! Specialty spray paint?? Got it! And thousand and thousands of other items. Staff is very helpful, and not in short supply. (I have been in the store numerous times, and alway the help has been more than courteous and helpful, in spite of what another reviewer unfortunately reported experiencing.) They wont have the heavy building materials and full array of power tools and major appliances of a Home Depot or Lowes, but they can definitely go head to head--and then some--when it comes to hardware.

I had a very disappointing experience. The Anco representative was sarcastic, argumentative and uninformed. I just wanted to run in and pick a small item and I got tons of bad attitude for no apparent reason. Id rather go to Lowes, Home Depot or WalMart. I cant see me ever going back to Anco.

They have EVERYTHING you will ever need as a homeowner in the Villas. If they dont have it you probably dont need it. Nice people, very helpful and knowledgable about their products.

remarkably helpful and pleasent staff and you can find things here in this small hardware shop that even Lowes doesnt have.

Excellent helpful staff. Have everything from keys to rare bulbs to fasteners to drains.

I had to ask for help twice and the staff was eager to help. I will definitely be back.
