About Ace Hardware

We are your local hardware store and we are a part of your community. Ace Hardware has over 5,000 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 your 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, we've remained small and very personal. That's why we say a visit to Ace, is like a visit to your neighbor.

Ace stores come in all sizes and shapes based on the needs of each individual neighborhood. We 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 you'll ever need to fix, repair and maintain your home. And of course, Ace is most certainly the place with the helpful hardware folks!

Founded in 1924 by a small group of Chicago hardware store owners, Ace changed the retail landscape by allowing individual stores to purchase merchandise in bulk to save money and buy at the lowest possible price. This partnership enabled even the smaller stores to compete effectively at retail despite larger stores in their market. And to this very day, Ace Hardware Corporation is still owned solely and exclusively by the local Ace retail entrepreneurs. For the latest in company news, visit the Ace Newsroom via the link below.

Since 1991, Ace has been a proud partner of Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals and the American Red Cross during disaster relief efforts. Through Ace retailers and customers, vendor partners, and Corporate team members, we have raised over $100 million for CMN Hospitals and have supported the American Red Cross through both monetary and product donations when a disaster strikes.

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals raise funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals that provide 32 million treatments each year to kids across the U.S. and Canada. Donations stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, and support research and training, all to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

Ace stores support their local CMN Hospitals in a variety of ways including our Miracle Bucket promotion, change round up at the register, in-store fundraising events and more. And just like Ace, CMN Hospitals are local – which means the money raised at your neighborhood Ace goes to your local CMN Hospital.

Each year, Ace selects a patient who was treated at their local CMN Hospital to serve as the ambassador for Ace’s fundraising efforts for the year. This year, Ace selected Avery Kazakewicz being treated at UPMC Children’s.
