Store Manager Ace Hardware - 3.7 Wellington, CO Job Details Full-time $65,000 - $75,000 a year 23 hours ago Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance Paid time off Vision insurance 401(k) matching Employee discount Qualifications Outdoor work experience Employee relationship building High school diploma or GED Full Job Description Ace Hardware is coming to Wellington. Opening early 2027. We're looking for a Store Manager to lead the new location. You'll be relied on to bring the Wellington store to life—leading a new team, teaching and developing employees, building relationships with customers and the community, and establishing strong day-to-day routines. What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who wants to lead the store, not simply manage a shift. The right person is engaged, proactive, curious, and comfortable taking responsibility. You pay attention, look ahead to what's next, communicate clearly, follow through, and bring forward ideas or concerns rather than waiting for every next step to be assigned. This is a broad role that requires you to move comfortably between people, customers, product, operations, and the business side of running a store. You don't need to be an expert in everything, but you should enjoy learning, solving problems, and putting the pieces together. You also understand that leading a store doesn't mean doing everything yourself. You'll build a capable team by setting clear expectations, teaching and developing employees, delegating responsibility, following up, and addressing problems when expectations aren't being met. We want someone who can be direct and hold people accountable while still building strong relationships. We believe a positive workplace and high expectations can—and should—exist together. What You'll Own The Store Manager is accountable for the overall leadership, performance, and day-to-day operation of Wellington Ace Hardware. You'll lead and develop the team, ensure exceptional customer service and a store that is stocked and ready for customers, and oversee the people, inventory, staffing, and financial performance that keep the business running well. Responsibilities can and should be delegated, but overall accountability for the store remains with the Store Manager. Training Before Wellington Opens Between now and opening, you'll train at our Downtown Fort Collins location. Training will be comprehensive and hands-on, combining time with experienced employees and managers, online and video-based Ace training, and significant time working on the sales floor. We don't expect you to walk in knowing everything, but we do expect you to be curious and ready to learn.

Stay Curious Keep learning, seek to understand the why, and be open to better ways of doing things. Build Belonging Create a workplace and store where people feel welcomed, respected, included, and valued. We are your local hardware store and we are a part of your community. Ace Hardware has over 5,000 stores around the world with the majority of those stores independently owned and operated by local entrepreneurs. These hard working men and women are part of the fabric of your community. They are small business owners who are local and loyal...just like it ought to be. While others have become large and impersonal, at Ace, we've remained small and very personal. That's why we say a visit to Ace, is like a visit to your neighbor.
