Ace Hardware Launches Ace YardRx

Ace Hardware, the world’s largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative, announced today Ace YardRx, a subscription service designed to deliver personalized yard care solutions directly to customers’ homes. Unveiled on Groundhog Day, Ace YardRx helps homeowners prepare for the seasons ahead, setting a new standard in yard maintenance by combining convenience, expertise, quality products, and effective results at the retailer’s best prices* year-round. With Punxsutawney Phil’s shadowed prediction signaling six more weeks of winter, Ace Hardware, as the ‘Official Yard Care Sponsor of Groundhog Day,’ encourages homeowners to view the extended winter as the perfect opportunity to prepare for the warmer months with the help of Ace YardRx.

“We’re excited to launch Ace YardRx, a new subscription service that delivers yard care directly to our neighbors’ homes,” said Kim Lefko, Chief Marketing Officer at Ace Hardware. “Groundhog Day is about looking ahead, no matter what the weather brings, and with Ace YardRx we’re making it easy to do just that – prepare for the seasons to come with personalized product bundles delivered at the right time for a beautiful yard.”

Introducing Ace YardRx

Ace YardRx is a prescriptive yard care program that meets the unique needs of every yard. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, Ace YardRx provides a tailored plan based on a customer’s regional location, grass type, yard size and brand or application preferences. Key features include:

• Lawn Care Made Easy: Ace YardRx simplifies yard care. Local Ace “YardRx-perts” bring the right products for specific regions, delivered at the ideal time for maximum effectiveness at Ace’s best price* of the season.
  
  
• Personalized Solutions: Whether a yard needs greener grass, less weeds, or fewer bugs,** Ace YardRx provides customized recommendations backed by trusted brands.
  
  
• Convenient Delivery: Seasonal treatments are delivered straight to customers’ doors from their local Ace Hardware, at no additional cost.
  
  
• Ace Hardware Quality: Customers get reliable products, advice, and competitive pricing, all backed by Ace’s commitment to customer satisfaction.

How Ace YardRx Works

Customers log into their Ace Rewards account, enter their address at Ace YardRx and receive a personalized package based on their location, yard size and grass type. Product recommendations include treatments for patch and repair, fertilizer, weed control, insect control and general seeding. Customers can also modify their program to address specific issues such as fungus, certain insects or weeds.

Once signed up, each seasonal product delivery includes the right products to achieve greener grass, less weeds and fewer bugs,** all at Ace’s best price* of the season–guaranteed. With consistent use, treatments build on each other to create a healthier, thriving lawn season after season, year after year.
