Bobby Heuser did not grow up in the home improvement industry, but after working in strategy consulting, investing and banking for many years, he was craving something more. Heuser and his parents, Bob and Renee, had always wanted to open a small business together, and a hardware store seemed like an ideal option. The family searched from the tip of Florida to the coast of Maine before landing on Bluffton, South Carolina, as the perfect location to open Heuser Ace Hardware in 2015.
