Griffin Ace Hardware has come a long way since it opened its doors in Santa Ana, Calif. in 1953. The second and third-generation of the Griffin family continues to operate the business that has grown to include our Carmel Valley and Rancho Bernardo stores in San Diego. Our customers see us as an alternative to large outlets and big box chains. We are committed to offering our customers knowledgeable advice, helpful service and quality products. As "Ace...The Helpful Place", we do what it takes to make sure customers leave our store saying WOW! Incredible Service! Incredible Selection! Incredible Experience!
