Your Community Store, Since the Start
Our story begins in the early 1900s, when our family first opened a small general store to serve the local community. For generations, the business was lovingly passed down, with each new era bringing fresh ideas and stronger ties to the families we serve. What started as a humble store quickly became a cornerstone of the community — a place where neighbors could count on us for quality, service, and care.
In 1987, our family joined the Ace Hardware legacy, combining our deep-rooted local traditions with the dependable selection and support that Ace is known for nationwide. This step forward allowed us to expand beyond the basics of a traditional hardware store and become what we are today: a trusted community resource and more than your average hardware store.
At Hometown Ace, we’re proud to carry on our family’s vision of offering more than just products — we provide solutions, inspiration, and support. With the addition of a full-service rental center, we supply everything from tools and equipment to wedding and party accessories. Whether you’re fixing a leaky faucet, planning an event, or renting equipment for a major project, we’re here to help you get it done right.
Our second location, Hometown2 Ace in Shelbyville, TN, expands that tradition with a shopping experience that goes far beyond hardware. From a full Hallmark section and curated gift department to stylish home décor, apparel, and gourmet foods, it’s a place where customers can find the perfect gift, celebrate life’s moments, or simply enjoy discovering something new.
Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to family values, exceptional service, and community connection. We’ve grown, adapted, and modernized, but our roots are the same. From generation to generation, our promise has always been simple — to be here for you, your family, and your projects, big or small.
