Westlake Ace builds in Orange County
Kansas City, Missouri-based Westlake Ace Hardware plans to open a store in Rancho Santa Margarita, California next summer.
When open, the new store will be Westlake Ace's 23rd location in California and the retailer's second location in Orange County. A Westlake store in Placentia opened in July 2024.
Westlake Ace currently owns and operates 19 California Ace Hardware locations, including nine in Southern California: Glendale, La Crescenta, Placentia, Porter Ranch, Simi Valley, South Pasadena, Thousand Oaks, Van Nuys, and West LA. The retailer is developing locations in Northern and Southern California, including Agoura Hills and Mission Hills.
“We are excited to show our new customers in Rancho Santa Margarita how we live the Ace Helpful Promise every day through reliable service, helpful advice, and the leading products they need to get their household projects done right,” said Joe Jeffries, president and CEO of Westlake Ace Hardware. “We are thrilled to join this community as a friend, a trusted neighbor, and an employer.”
