East Nashville set for Ace Hardware

An Ace Hardware store is slated for East Nashville, with a November opening being eyed.

The store will be located at 2622 Gallatin Pike next to the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA in South Inglewood and will be the first for the national hardware retail chain in Nashville. Chattanooga-based Elder's Ace Hardware will own and operate the store. The company oversees 22 Ace Hardware stores in East Tennessee and North Georgia and operates via a cooperative model. Founded in 1969, Elder’s is home to about 500 employees.
