What We Offer

A solid opportunity. A powerful model.

Ace has been America's neighborhood hardware retailer for eight decades. Throughout the decades - through booms and busts, war and peace, fads and legitimate breakthroughs - we've been a cornerstone of neighborhood commerce. Today, the opportunity has never been greater. The "do-it-yourself" market is thriving. And Ace Hardware remains poised to serve and thrive, as well.

Build your future on a strong foundation.

Today, Ace retailers have built their annual retail sales to more than $13 billion. And the future looks bright. The hardware industry is not only stable, it's expanding. America is fast becoming a nation of do-it-yourselfers. Just take a look at your local TV listings, brimming with home-improvement programming (source: Hardware Retailing Dec. 2006).

What's more, studies indicate that home-improvement sales will grow at 5.7 percent from 2005 to 2010 (source: Do it Yourself Retailing Dec. 2006). And according to a 2006 Yankelovich study, the average homeowner is expected to do three projects over the next year, primarily in the areas of painting and landscaping, with a total spending budget of approximately $2,000.
