?Frequently Asked Questions
What data fields are in the Ace Hardware store CSV?
Each row includes store name, street address, city, state, ZIP code, phone number, GPS latitude/longitude, store page URL, and country code. Standard CSV format for import into any system.
How current is the Ace Hardware location data?
Refreshed weekly from Ace Hardware's official store directory. As a cooperative with independently owned stores, the network changes regularly and our weekly cadence captures new members, closures, and relocations.
We manufacture a premium paint line and want to evaluate Ace Hardware as a distribution channel. How many of their stores carry paint?
Nearly all 4,000 Ace Hardware stores carry paint — it's one of their core categories and a key differentiator against big-box competitors. This dataset gives you the full store list with contact details for pitching your line to store owners. Since Ace stores are independently owned, each owner makes their own purchasing decisions — which means a well-targeted outreach campaign to the right stores can be very effective. We can help you prioritize by identifying Ace stores in markets where your paint brand already has traction.
How does Ace Hardware's footprint compare to True Value and Do It Best for independent hardware market analysis?
Ace has roughly 4,000 US stores, Do It Best has 3,252, and True Value's network is also substantial. These three cooperatives represent the backbone of independent hardware retail. We maintain datasets for Ace and Do It Best, and can deliver a competitive overlap analysis showing where the cooperatives compete for the same neighborhoods and where each has exclusive territory. For hardware industry suppliers, that analysis reveals the total addressable market and the best entry points.
We're a home improvement brand that already sells through Home Depot and Lowe's. Can Ace Hardware data help us reach smaller markets the big boxes miss?
That's one of the strongest use cases for this data. Ace Hardware stores thrive in small towns, suburban neighborhoods, and urban areas where Home Depot and Lowe's don't have a presence. We can run an analysis showing exactly which Ace stores are located more than 10 miles from the nearest Home Depot or Lowe's — those stores represent untapped markets for your brand and are eager for differentiated product lines that help them compete.
