Ace Retail Holdings, the division of Ace Hardware that owns and operates the Westlake Ace Hardware chain, has expanded to 100 stores.
Westlake Ace Hardware in June finalized its acquisition of two Q.P. Ace Hardware stores in the Omaha, Nebraska, area.
Westlake has been steadily expanding since Ace Hardware Corp. bought the chain in 2012. The company has grown by 15 locations in less than four years and began operating in North Carolina for the first time in 2016. The chain also has stores in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
