Ace Hardware Corporation

Overview

Ace Hardware Corporation is a prominent retailer-owned hardware cooperative, established in 1924 in Chicago, Illinois. Originally named "Ace Stores," the company was incorporated in 1928 and rebranded as Ace Hardware Corporation in 1931. Headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, it has grown to become the largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative in the world, with over 5,800 stores across all 50 U.S. states and more than 60 countries.

The cooperative model allows independently owned stores to benefit from centralized purchasing, marketing, and distribution services, enhancing their competitiveness. It offers a wide range of products for home improvement, including hardware, tools, paints, lawn and garden supplies, plumbing and electrical items, and seasonal products. The company also provides retail support services to its dealer-owners, focusing on efficient supply chain management and personalized customer service, serving homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, professional contractors, and local businesses.
