Westlake Ace Hardware announced Tuesday it has signed an agreement to open a new store in Grain Valley.  Additionally, the hardware retailer’s recently relocated store in southern Olathe, Kan., officially opened for business on Friday, March 28, 2025. 

In addition to the new Grain Valley store, the company will also open a new store in Shawnee, Kan. in late 2025 or early 2026. Westlake Ace Hardware currently has 31 stores in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.  

A new Westlake Ace store will be built at the intersection of NW Woodbury and S. Buckner Tarsney Rd. in Grain Valley and will feature nearly 15,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Construction will begin in spring 2025, with a planned store opening in early 2026.

In addition to selling lawn and garden supplies, fasteners, tools, plumbing, and electrical supplies, both stores will offer such services as key cutting, screen repair, blade and saw sharpening, Ace Handyman Services referral, automotive key fob replacement, and propane tank exchange.
