My local Ace Hardware has become a Stihl dealer and is now selling Stihl equipment. :confused2:

I guess Stihl has decided it's okay to let a smaller retail chain begin selling their equipment. I think it's only a matter of time before Stihl equipment pops up in Home Depot and Lowes. :thumbdown:

They have been at Rural King in my area for years now. they also sell Husqvarna

The Ace Hardware stores in north Georgia have been selling Stihl equipment for at least 6 years now..........

We have a few ace hardware stores here, I believe all of which are individually owned. They have Stihl also but I remember as a kid going into them and seeing snappers all lined up, all beautiful red and white. I can't recall what specific mowers are being sold there now but I don't think anything similar to those old snappers back in the day. Stihl may be the most commercial-grade lawn equipment they sell now.

ACE Hardware in Florida has been selling STIHL for a while. They have a lot of it too.

I was told by a local stihl dealer that Ace carries residential only. Not sure if that's true though. Nearby Ace stores have closed down, one left locally never seen a stihl there.

Yeah I had my doubts when the employee told me this. I searched the stihl locator and found a True Value store with the full line about forty miles away.
