What about shopping at Ace Hardware? I am currently not shopping at Lowe's or Home Depot, but there aren't really any local alternatives other than Ace.
Gwendolynn, I apologize for the tardy reply to your question. Ace Hardware (while not perfect) is a much better option than Orange or Blue. They run on a franchise/cooperative model that basically allows smaller LOCAL business owners at each location to operate with the buying power of a much bigger company. And because the owners of the individual stores are most often local they tend to keep their money local too.
In short, if you are looking to Boycott the Orange and Blue Billionaires, Ace is definitely the place to start.
