Ace Hardware is a hardware store chain in the United States and other countries. It is known for its helpful staff and wide selection of hardware, tools, and building materials.
Ace Hardware was founded in 1924 by Richard Hesse, E.C. Simmons, and Frank Burke in Chicago, Illinois.
The first Ace store was located on the city’s west side. The name “Ace” was chosen because it was the top card in a deck of cards, and the founders wanted their store to be the best in the business.
Ace Hardware has been successful for many years, but it has faced competition from other hardware store chains and from big box stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s. Ace has responded by expanding its product selection and by offering more services such as key cutting and pipe cutting.
Ace Hardware does not sell tomato plants.
