Westlake Ace Hardware to Open Fifth Store in St. Louis Area
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (September 28, 2021) – Westlake Ace Hardware announced today it has entered into an agreement to open a new store in Twin Oaks, Mo. (in West St. Louis County). To be located at 1144 Meramec Station Road – in the former location of grocery retailer Shop ‘n Save – it will be the fifth Westlake Ace store in the St. Louis area.
General renovations to the 18,000 sq. ft. space will take place during most of 2021. Westlake Ace plans further remodeling and merchandising during the first half of 2022, with a soft opening tentatively planned for June 2022.

“We look forward to becoming a helpful neighbor and a valued employer in Twin Oaks,” said Joe Jeffries, president and CEO of Westlake Ace Hardware. “It’s a vibrant community and we are thrilled to be building a store here. Most of all, we’re excited to show our new neighbors and customers how we live the Ace Helpful Promise every day by delivering reliable service, helpful advice, and products to help them get their projects done right.”
