Grandland shopping center has a new owner and new management company. They plan some upgrades to the property in the coming months. I don't know if that had anything to do with ACO pulling out-- maybe the rent is going up?
But, I agree that the chain hardware stores are pretty much worthless, unless you want something in a bubble pack. I worked in a real hardware store for a while in back in the day, and the experience was a real education. You have to be able to go to a hardware store with a broken part or a problem, explain it to the sales person, and then get the right part and an explanation of what to do with it. There are only a few places like that left.
