VandenBerg will provide staff with the direction and stability to help achieve the company’s goal of providing a full line hardware store with knowledgeable associates and helpful customer service. He will oversee the day to day operations of the business and the conversion of our current ACO Hardware stores to Great Lakes Ace Hardware stores over the next six months.

Currently 26 ACO stores are undergoing a “total inventory blow-out sale” of most merchandise in preparation for the store remodels after which they will re-open as Great Lakes Ace Hardware stores. The remaining stores will begin the conversion process in early spring.
