A
solid opportunity. A powerful model.
Ace has been America's
neighborhood hardware retailer for eight decades. Throughout the decades
- through booms and busts, war and peace, fads and legitimate breakthroughs
- we've been a cornerstone of neighborhood commerce. Today, the opportunity
has never been greater. The "do-it-yourself" market is thriving.
And Ace Hardware remains poised to serve and thrive, as well.
Build your
future on a strong foundation.
Today, Ace retailers have built their annual retail sales to more than
$13 billion. And the future looks bright. The hardware industry is not
only stable, it's expanding. America is fast becoming a nation of do-it-yourselfers.
Just take a look at your local TV listings, brimming with home-improvement
programming.
What's more, studies
indicate that home-improvement sales will grow at 5.7 percent over the
next five years (source: Do it Yourself Retailing Nov. 2003). And according
to a 2003 Yankelovich research study, "shifts in America's age distribution
will favor high spending on both remodeling of existing homes and purchases
of new homes."
