About Ace Hardware of Appleton, Inc.
Ace Hardware of Appleton opened in 1979, with current owner Ed Swartz taking the reins in 1985, meaning 30 plus years serving our community! We are very customer and neighborhood oriented.

With a huge lawn and garden area during the spring, bird seed and feeders (all year!), a wide variety of windchimes and unique giftware, we strive to have the "core" hardware and a whole lot more!
