• Ace Hardware, its locally-owned stores, and distribution centers plan to hire more than 40,000 new employees heading into the spring

Thanks to sharp increases in customer demand, Ace Hardware is seeking to hire more than 40,000 new store and distribution center associates across the United States in Spring 2022, the company announced March 29th.

Ace opened 182 new U.S. stores in 2021 alone. Last month, the company reported record 2021 revenue of $8.6 billion, with same store sales rising 7.5 percent for the year.

“We believe that we’ve been blessed to be in the business of serving others, said John Venhuizen, President and CEO of Ace Hardware.  “And, we are grateful for the surge in business that has generated the need to hire an additional 40,000 red-vested heroes to further serve and support our neighbors in communities across America.”

Venhuizen said the company, which prioritizes hiring in the communities its stores serve, is offering full-time, part-time and seasonal positions at both its stores and Retail Support Centers across the U.S.

Ace employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits and product discounts for primarily locally-owned businesses, serving thousands of neighborhoods throughout the United States.

Over the past five years, “The Helpful Place” has opened a total of 900 new stores. It had 4,751 in the domestic U.S. and 5,583 worldwide at the end of fiscal 2021. More than 75 percent of Americans live within 15 minutes of an Ace Hardware store.
