South Tahoe Ace store calls it quits

Ace Hardware on Lake Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe closed today.

“We just can’t make it. We cannot afford to keep the store open,” said Neil, who answered the phone Monday afternoon, but would not give his last name.

He said the closure had nothing to do with the DIY store opening nearby last year. He said the closing was “a personal thing”.
