The Ace Hardware Corporation is a retailers' cooperative based in Oak Brook, Illinois, United States. As of 2015, it has over 4,600 locations, and does over $13 billion in retail hardware sales annually.

We are your local hardware store and we are a part of your community. Ace Hardware has over 5,000 stores around the world with the majority of those stores independently owned and operated by local entrepreneurs. These hard working men and women are part of the fabric of your community. They are small business owners who are local and loyal...just like it ought to be. While others have become large and impersonal, at Ace, we've remained small and very personal. That's why we say a visit to Ace, is like a visit to your neighbor.

Ace stores come in all sizes and shapes based on the needs of each individual neighborhood. We have small, urban stores, large rural stores and everything in between. Ace stores offer a wide variety of paint, lawn and garden, tools, local niche services and virtually anything you'll ever need to fix, repair and maintain your home. And of course, Ace is most certainly the place with the helpful hardware folks!

Founded in 1924 by a small group of Chicago hardware store owners, Ace changed the retail landscape by allowing individual stores to purchase merchandise in bulk to save money and buy at the lowest possible price. This partnership enabled even the smaller stores to compete effectively at retail despite larger stores in their market. And to this very day, Ace Hardware Corporation is still owned solely and exclusively by the local Ace retail entrepreneurs.

I worked at the Twins location.I worked there for about a summer and had a good time. Management was fair and understanding and patient in the event of mistakes.I had emailed a manager about replying again but never got a response -- even after several follow-ups allotted at appropriate distances. Pay was only slightly above minimum wage, and did not feel like enough to accommodate the fast ...

Working at Ace Hardware is a great job for the most part. The people are great. There is a wide variety tasks you'll do on a daily basis. Alot of socialization comes with the job, so if you're and introvert it's probably not the best place for you. The only downside I have with the job personally is the pay and the lack of opprotunity in advancement. A regular store associate makes minimum wage. I...
