Westlake Ace Hardware Macon

General Manager

Kenneth Paul Smith Jr.
I have lived in the area my whole life, this has allowed me to make many lifelong friendships with the majority of our customer base here at Westlake Ace Hardware Macon, Mo. I joined the team here in Macon in June of 2020. I started out as a STIHL technician, and was promoted to floor supervisor within around a year. Promoted to AMO within another 2 years, and In May of 2025 I was promoted to GM of our great little store here in Macon, Mo. My favorite department would have to still be STIHL/Lawn & Garden, though I like all departments and the regulars that come in to shop the departments. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my 2 daughters and enjoying the outdoors. Basketball, skateboarding, hiking, fishing, and pretty well everything else that has to do with the outdoors. I also enjoy working with my hands, whether it be fixing engines or working in the garden.
