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!

We are seeking outgoing, friendly, and helpful team members to welcome and assist customers. Previous hardware

experience is a plus but not a requirement as we provide extensive training.

At Ace Hardware, we’re independently owned and operated so helping our community is our number one priority.

Make an impact in the community by helping your neighbors with their projects while working in a fast-paced and fun

environment. Our mission is to go the extra mile for our customers and build a team that has the same attitude!

Ace Hardware is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a Drug-Free environment. Ace goes beyond hardware: build a

future, a purpose, and a community with us.

Matt oversees the daily business operations while Tom manages the finances.
After 15 years in business, we have the opportunity to grow! In 2020, Matt and Tom bought The Hardware Store in Evergreen, MT and are in the process of converting it into an Ace Hardware. Nearby, in Columbia Falls, MT, we are adding a fifth Ace Hardware by building the store from the ground up. We are very excited to take on the company expansion and grow our work family!
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.
