here in Florence, AL. It has been in business since 1927, owned by the same
family. I doubt it started life as an Ace store. Anyway, you can walk in
(on those old hardwood floors), find what you are looking for in abouit three
minutes and be on your way in less than five minutes. Of course, there is
always someone (the owner, one of the clerks or a customer you know)
there that you might like to talk to about what is going on, like the weather,
their garden, or how business is going.

I do shop at the big box stores, but prefer the \mom and pop\ type of
stores when I find them.

I love that little store on Northside Drive, and you know what, I can walk right in and know where everything is, even if it’s crowded. While, I admit I do shop at Krogers from time to time, sometimes simple is better. I hope McDade’s never loses that hometown, community feeling, that makes you feel special to just shop there and where the service is really first-class.
