Ace Hardware is customers' local hardware store and they are a part of their community. Ace Hardware has thousands of stores around the world with the majority of those stores independently owned and operated by local entrepreneurs. These hard working men and women are part of the fabric of their community. They are small business owners who are local and loyal... just like it ought to be. While others have become large and impersonal, at Ace, they've remained small and very personal. That's why they say a visit to Ace, is like a visit to their neighbor. Ace stores come in all sizes and shapes based on the needs of each individual neighborhood. They have small, urban stores, large rural stores and everything in between. Ace stores offer a wide variety of paint, lawn and garden, tools, local niche services and virtually anything customers will ever need to fix, repair and maintain their home.
