Westlake Ace Hardware to Open First Store in Oregon

Posted December 4, 2025

Overland Park-based Westlake Ace Hardware announced it has opened its first store location in Dallas, Oregon. 

Westlake Ace Hardware purchased a 22,000 square foot store and will remodel more than 18,000 square feet of the building for retail space. Renovations are scheduled to begin in late 2025, with a soft opening anticipated for spring 2026, according to a Wednesday release. The new store will begin accepting applications for employment in early 2026.

The city of Dallas, Oregon, has approximatly 17,000 residents.

“We are excited to introduce the Westlake Ace Hardware experience to our new customers in Oregon and look forward to becoming an active member of the Dallas community,” president and CEO of Ace Retail Holdings, parent company of Westlake Ace Hardware, Joe Jeffries, said in the release. “Our team is committed to living out the Ace Helpful Promise every day by offering trusted advice, dependable service, and the top-quality products our customers need to complete their projects with confidence.”

The company’s first Oregon store will feature a full range of lawn and garden supplies, tools, fasteners, plumbing, and electrical products to help customers with home improvement, repair, and maintenance projects. The store will provide key fob replacement, propane tank exchange and home delivery services. Additionally, the store will also feature the store-within-a-store concept, The Kitchen Connection at Westlake Ace Hardware. The concept will offer gourmet foods, cookware, kitchen tools, and linens.

In August, Westlake Ace Hardware announced plans to acquire Olson’s Ace Hardware and its two Kansas locations in Coffeyville and Parsons. The company said the two stores will be rebranded as Westlake Ace Hardware and remodeled later in 2026, according to a release at the time.
