Ace Hardware is setting up a new shop in Aurora, Ohio, that will celebrate its grand opening from April 29 to May 1.

“Our mission is to provide customers with the neighborly advice and assistance they have come to expect from Ace,” Ace Hardware stated in an Ace press release. “We look forward to becoming a helpful and valuable neighbor to the community, both inside and outside the walls of our store.”

The new store, located at 55 Barrington Town Square Drive, was designed to serve the local community by selling items that will help solve common home care issues, along with a large selection of materials for painting, lawn and garden maintenance and other home improvement projects.

Additionally, the store will be stocked with thousands of necessary products and supplies from well-known companies, including best-selling items from Yeti, Scotts, STIHL, Big Green Egg, Milwaukee, Ben Moore, Traeger and Weber.

Ace Hardware, headquartered in Oak Brook, Ill., has been in operation for 90 years and currently has over 5,500 locally owned and operated stores across the U.S. and overseas, making it the world's largest hardware cooperative.

Ace and its subsidiaries currently operate 14 distribution centers around the U.S., China, Panama and the United Arab Emirates.
