Crown Ace Hardware is a family-owned and operated chain that got its beginning in 1949 as a single "mom and pop" store in Cor ... ona del Mar, CA and that small town approach is still alive and well today. Second generation owner Mark Schulein and the Crown Team have expanded to add our "local flavor" to 17 communities across three states; proudly serving Orange County, San Diego County, Riverside, Yucaipa, Lake Havasu City, Arizona and our newest store, Island Ace Hardware, serving the North Shore of Kauai. We are passionate about customer service and providing world-class experiences to every person who comes through our doors. Our mission is to be "the most helpful hardware stores on the planet!" and being a valuable resource to the communities we serve. Come in to your local store and experience our award-winning helpful teams, expertise and Primo Brands. Crown Ace is so much more than a hardware store! read more
