New Ace Hardware Distribution Center Will Bring 350 Jobs



Ace Hardware announced the company will begin development on a new distribution center, located at the KCI 29 Logistics Park.


Ace Hardware is adding a new retail support center to the Kansas City area and will see the addition of 350 jobs.

Construction for this 1.5 million-square-foot facility is expedited to begin in 2023 and will be fully operational by 2025, according to a news release. The RSC is among the first facilities to join the KCI 29 Logistics Park, a 3,300-acre mega site assembled by Hunt Midwest.

“We’re excited to add a world-renowned company like Ace Hardware to the growing list of businesses opening new facilities in Missouri,” said Governor Mike Parson in a press release. “Our state’s location in the center of the United States gives companies the ability to reach customers quickly. We’re proud to welcome Ace Hardware to Kansas City and look forward to watching its success in the region.”

Ace Hardware has increased its retail sales by $12 billion in the past ten years and experienced 11 consecutive years of new domestic store growth, according to the company.  

“We look forward to the construction of the new Retail Support Center in Kansas City, which will be a critical part of Ace Hardware’s robust supply chain,” Executive Vice President Lori Bossmann said in a news release.
