Westlake Ace Hardware Opens Relocated Omaha Store at Westgate Plaza

The new location replaces a former nearby store and offers an enhanced shopping experience

Westlake Ace Hardware recently relocated one of its Omaha, Neb., stores to a new location at 3401 S. 84th Street in the redeveloped Westgate Plaza shopping center. The store replaces the former location on West Center Road. Westlake Ace currently owns and operates eight stores in the greater Omaha metropolitan area.

The Westgate Plaza location spans 16,000 square feet and is fully stocked with a wide selection of leading brands and offers a wide array of services to meet the needs of its customers and neighbors. General Manager Sean Grant and all store associates transferred to the new store from the 84^th and West Center Road location.

“Westlake Ace has been a part of the Westgate neighborhood for more than 40 years, so naturally, we are thrilled to stay here,” said Sean Grant, general manager. “Most importantly, we are looking forward to welcoming our great community to the store and continuing to show our customers, friends, and neighbors how we live the Ace Helpful Promise every day through legendary service and expert advice for DIYers, homeowners, and professionals alike.”

Grant added, “In addition to an enhanced shopping experience and convenient parking, the store features a fantastic garden center, a new look for our BBQ department, and an exciting new Kitchen Connection department. The new store is truly spectacular, and we are excited to open the doors and show it off to the community.”

In addition to a wide selection of lawn and garden supplies, fasteners, tools, plumbing, and electrical products, the store offers convenient services, including key cutting, automotive key fob replacement, and propane tank exchange. Customers will also find specialty departments and store-within-a-store concepts, featuring top brands including:

•  Stihl, Ego, and Milwaukee outdoor power equipment
• Benjamin Moore and Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines paints
• An expanded Garden Center featuring annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, tropicals, and shrubs
• A wide selection of fasteners
• The Kitchen Connection department features gourmet foods, cookware, kitchen utensils, kitchen linens, and more
• Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Craftsman power tools
• Weber, Traeger, Blackstone, and Big Green Egg grills and accessories

The store will host an official “board-cutting” on September 25, followed by a grand opening celebration September 26-28 that will feature special promotions and sales, vendor demonstrations, and family-friendly activities.
