Two new Westlake Ace Hardware stores in Omaha, Nebraska, have brought the store total for this conglomerate of Ace Hardware Stores to 100. The stores were originally Q.P. Ace Hardware Stores, and they will be rebranded with the new ownership name, while keeping personnel the same. Q.P. Ace Hardware will continue to won four other locations in Nebraska, outside of Omaha. Says Westlake Ace Hardware CEO, Tom Knox, “Westlake was founded 112 years ago and has been growing ever since. A big part of their expansion strategy has been to make acquisitions that make sense for our customers and our business as a whole.”
