CHARLEVOIX — Last August, while at an Ace Hardware trade show in Chicago, Mark and Vicky Greyerbiehl learned about Hallmark’s latest initiative — a store within a store.
The Greyerbiehls, owners and operators of Charlevoix’s Ace Hardware on M-66, enthusiastically embraced the concept as a compliment to their garden and gift-shop, adjacent to the hardware store and garden/nursery property.
