I added a section on activities per country. It still needs to be inhabited. gidonb 01:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
The Helpful Hardware Club should be mentioned as well as the fact that it's going to be the Ace Rewards now. Not because it's of huge note, but more that it's current goings-on of the company maybe? I'm not confident enough to do this myself however. Someone else maybe? Ignore it all together? DeMyztikX 22:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
there are many other things that need to be mentioned. I will do some gathering of info. HeadOfMax 09:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I did some work here, hope it helps, but IMO still has a long way to go. Any help is appreciated. I am uncomfortable with the Vision 21 section - thought about leaving it out (it WAS on the prior version), but I think it's relevant because it's an issue common in the co-op arena and is a notable effort to address it.

- Removed the Vision 21 heading, and I thinks it helps it to flow better, and doesn't create unnecessary confusion.Mdeaton 21:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is noteworthy that since I am involved in the ownership and operation of an Ace Hardware store, it is inappropriate for me to edit this article, so although I don't think there are POV problems, I am reverting my changes anyway since I can hardly be considered unbiased. My edits can still be found in the History, so if someone would like to use them to assist in a future revision, please feel free to do so.Mdeaton 16:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please resist temptation to advertise
The "Retailers" section of this article is quite inappropriate for Wikipedia - all links to individually-owned commercial websites. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a portal, forum, etc. The article should be about Ace Hardware the retailers' cooperative - its history, market position, statistics, etc. It is not a means to drive traffic to your store's for-profit website for free.
