Rommel's Ace is part of Rommel Holdings, Inc., a mid-sized holding company located in Fruitland, MD. As a family held enterprise, it has owned and operated a variety of businesses dating back to the 1950's.
Operation of Ace hardware stores began with a single unit in Ocean City, MD in 1995. An acquisition of another Ace operator greatly expanded the number of locations in the late 1990's. New stores followed in Cambridge, MD and Millsboro, DE.
In late 2004 Rommel Holdings opened a Dover, DE Ace hardware store. In 2005 it opened its first Virginia Ace store in Exmore, VA. In the fall of 2006, the Perry Hall, MD Ace store opened just north of Baltimore.
Today the company consists of eleven Ace Hardware stores, four Denny's Restaurants, an Uno Chicago Bar and Grill, a Skateland roller skating rink in Baltimore, MD and several commercial properties located from Baltimore to Ocean City, MD. We employ approximately 500 people in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
Most importantly, we are a customer focused organization, and we live by our mission statement.
"Together we will always strive to satisfy completely
every customer we serve."
