About Miners Ace Hardware

Miner's Ace Hardware is a family business founded in 1956 by brothers Lee and Glenn Miner. Both Lee and Glenn had worked in their parents’ (Abe and Bee Miner) hardware store in Culver City during the late 1940s and early 1950s. As a family, they had often visited the Central Coast to vacation, go deep-sea fishing, and dig for clams. When a small hardware store in Grover Beach (located in the building to the immediate west of the present Grover Beach Store) came up for sale, the brothers were able to purchase the business and move their young families out of Los Angeles.

For the next several years, both Lee and Glenn (and their first employee, Wally Lewis) worked tirelessly to build the business. Seventy-hour weeks were the norm, and profits were continually reinvested into the business to fund expansion. In 1964, Glenn purchased Lee's share of the business and managed the store with the help of Wally Lewis. In 1972, Miner’s joined Ace Hardware, a buying co-op owned entirely by independent dealers. This strategic alliance allowed Miner’s to leverage the buying power of almost 5,000 Ace Stores and remain competitive against the growing “Big Box” trend.

Today, Miner's Ace Hardware remains a family-owned and operated business committed to legendary customer service by outstanding employees. It ranks among the top 10 Ace Retailers nationwide.
