New record for Ace Hardware’s spring convention

Ace Hardware broke its own record for attendance at its recent in-person convention held mid-March in San Antonio, Texas (USA). The event brought together over 4 800 Ace retailers representing 3 355 stores. With total attendance over 11 800 for the entire show, the company interprets these figures by saying that the numbers reflect the importance Ace Hardware places on in-person relationship building. Ace Hardware is the largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative in the world with more than 5 600 locally owned and operated stores.
