Bob Buehler said the location was ideal.

"We had been talking with people from Ingersoll Hardware in Rocky River, and saw the opportunity in Westlake," he said. "This was the larger retail space we wanted."

The Westlake store will carry national brands such as Benjamin Moore paint, Stihl outdoor power equipment, and some Craftsman products. There will be seasonal products such as gardening supplies and lawn mowers in the spring and summer, and Christmas lights and snow shovels in the winter.

Ace will also offer services like custom key cutting, screen repair, knife and blade sharpening, carpet cleaner rentals, glass cutting and propane tank exchanging.

Customers can also order online at the Ace Hardware website and pick up their products at the store without shipping charges.

Store hours will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
