Our chain of hardware stores was founded in June 2006 by the

Dowdell and Shellenberg families of Livingston, Montana. They purchased three

stores in Livingston, Butte and Anaconda, MT. Matt was one of Tom's tax clients

when Tom approached him to go into business together. He easily drew Matt in by

telling him that he wanted to be a business owner to be "the best employer

in three communities."  So, their partnership began with that vision

in mind.  We aim to create an experience in our business that positively

impacts you and all of our employees, customers and communities.  These

goals are fortified by our core values:

1.     Own It

2.     Be a Great Teammate

3.     Go the Extra Mile

Matt oversees the daily business operations while Tom

manages the financial side of the business.  We are proud to be affiliated

with Ace Hardware Corporation based in Oak Brook, IL. Ace is a nationally

known, but locally owned cooperative that has been in business since 1924 and

recognized as America’s premier hardware wholesaler. 

After many years in business, our organization has grown in

number of stores! In 2020, Matt and Tom bought The Hardware Store in Evergreen,

MT and converted it to Glacier Ace Hardware. Months later, they built Columbia

Falls Ace Hardware. It’s been an intensive and exciting process. We are

thrilled to have expanded the company and continue to grow our work

family! 

Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks!
