When it opens, the new store will be the 8^th location in Ohio

Great Lakes Ace announced it has signed an agreement to open a new store in Perrysburg, Ohio.

The new Great Lakes Ace will be located in the Shoppes at South Boundary, 1175 Louisiana Avenue in Perrysburg. The store will feature more than 12,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Renovations to the space will begin in early 2026, with a soft opening tentatively planned for the second quarter of next year.

In addition to offering services such as key cutting, automotive key fob replacement, and propane tank exchange, the neighborhood hardware store will also sell a range of lawn and garden supplies, fasteners, tools, plumbing supplies, and electrical supplies. It will also showcase several specialty departments and store-within-a-store concepts, selling such brands as: 

• Stihl, Ego, and Milwaukee outdoor power equipment 
• Benjamin Moore and Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines paints 
• Milwaukee, DeWalt, and Craftsman power tools 
• Weber, Traeger, and Big Green Egg grills and accessories 
• Scotts lawn care products 
• Yeti coolers, drinkware, and accessories 

“We are excited to open a location in Perrysburg and can’t wait to join the community as a friend, a trusted neighbor, and an employer,” said Joe Jeffries, president and CEO of Ace Retail Holdings, parent company of Great Lakes Ace Hardware. “The new store will be a shining example of how we live the Ace Helpful Promise every day by providing reliable service, helpful advice, and leading products to our customers.”
