# Ace Hardware > Ace Hardware is a retailer-owned hardware cooperative with more than 5,000 locally owned and operated stores across all 50 U.S. states and 70+ countries. Stores stock paint, tools, lawn and garden equipment, plumbing and electrical supplies, grills, outdoor living, and seasonal goods, and are known for in-store services like paint matching, key cutting, propane exchange, and small-engine repair. Most stores are independently owned, so inventory, services, and hours vary by location — the Store Locator is the authoritative source for what a specific store carries and offers. ## About - [About Ace Hardware](https://www.acehardware.com/about-us ): Cooperative model, history (founded 1924), and "The Helpful Place" brand positioning. - [Community Involvement](https://www.acehardware.com/community-involvement ): Children's Miracle Network partnership and local store giving programs. - [Careers](https://careers.acehardware.com/ ): Corporate and store-level roles; store hiring is handled by individual owners. ## Stores & Services - [Store Locator](https://www.acehardware.com/store-locator ): Find local Ace stores by ZIP code; canonical source for store-specific hours, inventory, and services. - [Propane Refill & Exchange Locator](https://www.acehardware.com/store-locator?service=Propane%20Refill%20or%20Exchange ): Stores offering propane tank refill or exchange. - [The Paint Studio](https://www.acehardware.com/thepaintstudio ): In-store paint matching and color consultation; carries Benjamin Moore, Clark+Kensington, Magnolia Home, Royal, and Valspar. - [Customer Service Hub](https://www.acehardware.com/customer-service ): Index of policies and store-services pages (returns, delivery, assembly, haul-away, recalls). - [Free Store Pickup](https://www.acehardware.com/customer-service?page=free-store-pickup-curbside ): Order online, pick up in-store; curbside available at participating stores. - [Delivery From Store](https://www.acehardware.com/customer-service?page=delivery-from-store ): Same-day local delivery from a nearby Ace. - [Assembly Information](https://www.acehardware.com/customer-service?page=assembly-information ): Free in-store assembly on grills, mowers, and select large items. - [30-Day Return Policy](https://www.acehardware.com/customer-service?page=30-day-return-policy ): Standard return window and exclusions. ## Membership & Programs - [Ace Rewards](https://www.acehardware.com/ace-rewards ): Free loyalty program with points on purchases, member coupons, and birthday rewards.
