Paul's Ace Hardware scoops up another store

Phoenix-based Paul's Ace Hardware has acquired a sixth store to round out the family-owned chain.

The 14,000-sq.-ft. location is located blocks away from the Arizona State University campus and features an additional 2,500 sq. ft. for The Paint Studio.

Customers will also find market niches such as a tailgating and school spirit department, as well as an extensive BBQ grill selection.

The new store is located at 929 E. Broadway Road in Tempe, Arizona. Paul’s Ace Hardware owners (and sisters) Julie Buchkowski and Tricia Dauwalder-Luna took ownership of the store on May 1, 2015.

The new store is currently open but under renovation, with completion slated for Sept. 1. An official grand opening celebration is scheduled for November, during Paul's Ace Hardware's 59th anniversary.

“We’re delighted to become a part of this new neighborhood and we look forward to offering our new neighbors the products, know-how and services they need to maintain and beautify their homes,” said Julie Buchkowski, owner, Paul’s Ace Hardware. “We are pleased that even after nearly 60 years in operation, Paul’s Ace Hardware is continuing to grow and thrive through this new location.”
