Yes, I was there to check out the new store.  Not having to take to 30-40 minute drive to Waimea or Kona when we need one little thing is a big deal for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember all too well need to make that drive on several occasions when something was busted in the house.  There was the time I put a pickaxe through the water line supplying the house.  I had the PVC pipe, and the glue needed to fix it, and one coupler&#8230;  I needed two.  I was short a single PVC coupling.  Off on the hour long trip to Waimea and back for a single 50 cent part, that or no water in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stopping by our new Ace on their first morning I checked out the store, walking the aisles just to see what hey have, and do not have.  Not that I left empty handed, I did buy a replacement garden hose for the driveway spigot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new store is a bit on the small side, not a huge selection of stuff.  They do have all of the basics, a good selection of plumbing parts, screws and bolts, and electrical fittings.  This will save a great deal of trouble in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new shopping center here in Waikoloa is cause to celebrate.
