Bralys Ace Hardware is a fifth-generation, family-owned and operated business that has proudly served the Palestine community since 1932. Originally established as Franklin Lumber Company, Bralys has grown into a full-service Ace Hardware offering traditional departments such as paint, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and tools, along with expanded departments including housewares, lawn and garden,
sporting goods, and grilling. Customers will find trusted brands like Stihl, Traeger, YETI, Big Green Egg, Blackstone, Benjamin Moore, and Milwaukee. In 2013, Bralys partnered with Ace Hardware and relocated to the historic former Rusk Elementary School, preserving the building’s character by transforming classrooms into departments and repurposing original features throughout the store. This unique location earned Bralys the 2014 Ace Hardware “Coolest Store on the Planet” award and has made it a must-see destination for visitors. Bralys attributes its longevity to loyal customers, a dedicated staff, and a continued commitment to exceptional service.
