Ace Hardware announced the opening of its 100th new store of 2025. Over the past five years, Ace has opened more than 930 new stores and remains on pace to open more than 175 by the end of 2025.
“This milestone reflects the continued strength of our local ownership model, our commitment to service, and the trust our customers place in Ace,” said Andy Enright, senior vice president, retail strategy and operations, Ace Hardware. “Even in a world of rapid change, we believe that helpfulness, human connection and a commitment to community will always be at the center of enduring retail success.”
Ace’s new store growth is fueled by a blend of existing retailers opening additional locations, competitor stores converting to the brand and new entrepreneurs joining the cooperative for the first time.
Ace operates nearly 5,200 locally owned hardware stores across all 50 U.S. states and in over 60 countries.
