HISTORY OF ELEVATION ACE HARDWARE

ELEVATION ACE HARDWARE STORY

Founded in 2007 by brothers Kirby and Nick Kuklenski through a parent company, the Elevation Ace Hardware Group is committed to serving local communities. What began with Uintah Gardens in Colorado Springs has grown into something much bigger than we ever imagined.

Today, the Elevation Ace Hardware Group is a family of stores across Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. While we’ve grown quite a bit, our goal remains exactly the same as day one: to be your helpful hardware folks. Whether you need advice on a big project or just a spare key, our promise to you is simple: “Helping you is the most important thing we have to do today.”

Growing with You Over the Years:

2007: We kicked things off by opening our doors at Uintah Gardens in Colorado Springs.
2008: We expanded for the first time, opening Mile High Ace in North Denver.
2011: We expanded our Colorado Springs family with the addition of South Academy Ace Hardware.
2014: We grew our Colorado Springs footprint by bringing Ace Hardware at Austin Bluffs into the fold.
2016: We continued our growth in the Denver area with the opening of Cherry Creek Ace Hardware in central Denver.
2019: We headed to the Western Slope, honored to become the new caretakers of the long-standing, community-favorite Fullmer’s Ace Hardware in Gunnison.
2021: We were excited to welcome Ace Hardware of Farmington (New Mexico) and the historic, century-old Kroegers Ace Hardware (Durango, CO) to the team.

We are so grateful to every community that has welcomed us. We love being your local go-to spot, and we look forward to many more years of helping you with all your projects!
