Ace Hardware hours

Ace Hardware hours vary widely by store because each location is independently owned by its retailer cooperative. Most stores open 7:00 to 8:00 AM Mon-Sat (close 7:00 to 8:00 PM) and 8:00 to 10:00 AM Sunday (close 5:00 to 6:00 PM). Closed chain-wide on Christmas Day; Thanksgiving, Easter, and New Year's Day vary by store. Customer service: 1-888-827-4223.

Ace Hardware is a US neighborhood-hardware retailer cooperative with around 5,200 retail stores across all 50 states (and 8,700-plus worldwide), founded in October 1924 in Chicago and headquartered in Oak Brook Illinois, owned as a cooperative by its independent retailers (not publicly traded), known for the “Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man” jingle and “The Helpful Place” tagline, the smaller neighborhood-store format compared to big-box competitors, in-store services like paint mixing, key cutting, and screen repair, the lawn-and-garden seasonal cluster, and the Ace Rewards loyalty program.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Ace Hardware open today, when does the store close, are they open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, what time does the local Ace open Sunday, and how widely hours vary store-to-store.

Two Ace Hardware specific things worth knowing: hours vary widely by store because each Ace Hardware location is independently owned by its retailer cooperative member, with the typical pattern running 7:00 to 8:00 AM open and 7:00 to 8:00 PM close Monday-Saturday and 8:00 to 10:00 AM open with 5:00 to 6:00 PM close Sunday (no 24-hour stores in the system); Christmas Day is the only near-universal closure across the cooperative, while Thanksgiving, Easter, and New Year’s Day all vary store-by-store. Big-box hardware sibling Home Depot follows a more consistent 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM chain-wide schedule by contrast.

Why do Ace Hardware hours vary so widely by store?

Ace Hardware Corporation is a cooperative owned by its independent retailers (not a corporate-store chain like Home Depot or Lowe's). Each Ace Hardware location is owned and operated by a local retailer member of the cooperative, who sets the store's hours, holiday policy, and staffing independently. This cooperative structure is why hours vary so much store-to-store and why the locator is the only reliable source for a specific store's hours.

Are any Ace Hardware stores open 24 hours?

No. Ace Hardware has no 24-hour locations in the system. The earliest open observed across the spot-checked stores is 7:00 AM Mon-Sat, and the latest close is 8:00 PM Mon-Fri. Sunday hours are even shorter. The neighborhood-store cooperative model does not run 24/7.

What in-store services does Ace Hardware offer?

Most Ace Hardware stores offer paint mixing (Benjamin Moore, Clark+Kensington, Cabot, Valspar at participating stores), key cutting, screen repair, propane tank exchange, and lawn-and-garden seasonal services. Larger Ace stores may add tool rental, glass cutting, and small-engine repair. Confirm available services at your specific Ace via the locator below.
