Company Introduction

For 140 years, Bozeman residents have trusted the folks at Owenhouse Hardware Company to provide them with everything from buggies, wagons, and plows to modern tools, appliances, and lawn mowers.

A valuable and integral part of the Bozeman community and surrounding areas, Owenhouse Hardware Company has survived the tenure of time, from the days of hand labor and foot travel to modern tools and motorized transportation. Evolving from a farm supply store to a full-service hardware store & Bike shop. The business continues to operate on its long-standing reputation of providing quality products and great service, before and after the sale. This tradition has garnered it the phrase heard lovingly among locals: “Ace is the place” at Owenhouse Ace Hardware.

Owenhouse Cycling is part of the Owenhouse Hardware Company, founded in 1879. When we say we’ve been in the biking business for a long time, we mean it! What started as a mercantile carrying all the goods a person of that time would need, including bikes, and have since grown and expanded to become what is now Owenhouse Cycling and Owenhouse Ace Hardware. The Owenhouse Cycling building was originally constructed in 1949 as a showroom for tractors and other farming implements. Things have changed a bit over the years, with our latest remodel taking place in 2014.
From bike repair to shelving and storage, the staff at Owenhouse Ace Hardware & Owenhouse Cycling are ready to assist you with all of your hardware, home improvement & bicycle needs.
