xxxThe story of A Few Cool Hardware Stores started in 2003 in Logan Circle. We knew the community wanted and needed a hardware store. Renovations were happening everywhere and traveling to get hardware supplies was slowing them down.
xxxWe opened Logan Hardware on March 1, 2003 to great success. It wasn’t long before people started coming in from other parts of the city asking us to open in their neighborhood too. It was a special time in Logan Circle with many new retailers opening their doors and providing moral support for us as we tried to learn how to use everything we were selling!
xxxGlover Park Hardware opened exactly two years after Logan Hardware and then in June of 2006 we opened Tenleytown Ace Hardware.
xxxIn 2007 we decided to test the waters in a new city – Baltimore. We took over a 7,800 square foot space in the historic neighborhood of Federal Hill.
xxxMost recently we opened 5th Street Ace Hardware at 1055 5th Street NW. We are located in the City Vista building between K St. NW and New York Ave.
xxxMany people don’t know that Ace is a Co-operative company. Unlike franchise models, Ace’s mission when it began 80 years ago was to provide support and good product pricing to a growing number of independent hardware retailers. That mission couldn’t be more important than it is today with the growth of big box retailers forcing so many small independent businesses to close. Today there are more than 4,600 Ace Hardware stores in the United States and around the world.
xxxWe are always searching for new spaces and welcome any request. Please stop by your local hardware store soon.
The framework for success. A tradition of  service.
xxxFounded in Chicago in 1924, Ace Hardware Corporation has grown to become America's neighborhood hardware retailer. Over the years, we've built the brand from a small group of hardware stores to a network of more than 4,800 locations across the globe.
xxxAn independent marketing study confirmed that the Ace Hardware name is one of the most widely recognized trademarks in America. "Ace … The Helpful Place" is the most recognized slogan in the home-improvement industry (The Gallup Organization, October 2006). And today, consumers rely heavily on the helpful advice and product choices they get at their neighborhood stores.
xxxWe continue to grow because of the level of service we provide our customers. Backed by a state-of-the-art distribution system, dedicated corporate support, and the knowledge and talents of our 80,000 team members, we look forward to upholding and advancing our 80 year tradition of service, solid corporate citizenship and success.
