This is a major investment for the Ace Hardware Corporation, which announced that the Kansas City site will be the home of the 1.5 million-square-foot retail support center.
With 5,700 stores worldwide, this new move will allow Ace Hardware to have more central positioning and mobility across the United States. And the KSHB report states that “the retail support center will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology, automation, and warehouse management systems.”
The location of this new distribution center will be north of the KCI airport terminal at:

Construction begins in the second quarter of 2023 with plans for the facility to become operational in 2025.
