Westlake Ace Hardware Edgewater Place

General Manager

Ben Ceplecha
My first experience with Ace was back in 2006, which happened to be my first job. I moved around and came back to Ace with Westlake in 2022 as an Assistant Manager of Merchandising. I was promoted to General Manager in June of 2025 and have been thrilled to have this opportunity. I enjoy all the challenges I have faced at every store I’ve worked in and continue to find new things about it. Some of my favorite sections in each store have been the hardware and tools. Always a fun challenge finding that one bolt a customer needs. My free time is spent with my son. I love goofing around with him and going on little adventures. I do enjoy tinkering around the house with fixing or changing things out. I love watching movies, especially horror movies.
