It might not be a good idea but we could.īetty Vergets said they hope to become the place people come in Yamhill County. If we wanted to have 10,000 square feet of cookie cutters and pie pans, we could. With Ace basically being independent retailers, we can do whatever we want. You could go to 5,000 chain stores, youre going to find the exact same thing. One of the nice things about Ace is we dont have to be a cookie cutter store, he said. He thinks with the expansion theyve come full circle. Its been like this, Mark Vergets said, since 1965 when his parents opened the hardware store under the Coast to Coast umbrella. ∺ll of our staff is here, so if a lady wants to learn how to repair a toilet or learn how to wire a new light switch in her house and not feel dumb about asking questions.Įverything they do, the Vergets said, is for the community. (Ladies Night) takes away the intimidation from it, he said. Mark Vergets said eventually there will be a guys night, but actually every day the store is for men. The guys used to complain about only having ladies night, but now they send wives with their shopping list so they can get the sale price. We have all kinds of drawings and everything on the store is on sale. Its always been our red carpet event, food wine and live music, she said. Now were bringing in boutique clothing and boots, she said.Īll of this is just in time for Ladies Night, slated for Thursday. This also means the store has become more women friendly with the expansion of home décor, housewares and additional clothing under the same Gypsy Crossing brand.
Its things Im used to saying we dont have room for.
It used to be we would go to a show and they would say, ∝o you want to carry ironing boards? We dont have a place for ironing boards, who has room for ironing boards? Betty Vergets said. With that boom increasing, the largest part of the expansion is increasing products already in stock, creating more chaos as products were unloaded from four 32-foot semi-trailers. This hadnt been an issue for a while as Ace has become more of a DIY store with more and more contractors going out of business. It wasnt that we didnt have it, we just didnt have enough. He would go, I need to pick it up all in one spot. You would lose a large order over one or two items. Often customers would come in looking for 20 of an item, but they only had 10. The last two years (the economy) really started recovering, it just got a little frustrating (for contractors), he said. We pretty much were bursting at the seams, she said.Īlthough Mark Vergets said they would have been happy to leave the store as it was, they decided to expand for the customers. But now that construction is completed and the shelves are almost stocked, its something the Vergets look forward to. Within two weeks of discussing ideas and concepts, contractors were on site. Last October our landlord made it a six-month plan, basically. The expansion which doubled the size of the business was completed in a whirlwind. Its starting to look pretty darn good. Its been a challenge, Betty Vergets said.
