Our Story

Our story began in 2006, when the Dowdell and Shellenberg families partnered to purchase three Ace Hardware stores in Livingston, Butte, and Anaconda, Montana. From the beginning, the vision was bigger than simply operating great hardware stores: we wanted to be the best employer in the communities we serve.

Since then, we’ve grown from three stores to five, expanding into Northwest Montana with Glacier Ace Hardware in Evergreen and Columbia Falls Ace Hardware. While our footprint has grown, our commitment has stayed the same. We are proud to be a Montana-owned and operated company focused on creating a positive experience for our employees, customers, and communities.

Our culture is built around three core values:

• Own It
• Be a Great Teammate
• Go the Extra Mile

These values guide how we work, how we treat one another, and how we serve our customers. We believe our people are what make our stores special, and we want to create a workplace where employees can contribute, grow, take pride in their work, and make a positive impact in their communities.

Today, our five stores serve Livingston, Butte, Anaconda, Evergreen, and Columbia Falls, and we’re proud to be part of the Ace Hardware family. Ace combines the strength and resources of a nationally recognized brand with the independence and local ownership that allow us to stay connected to the communities we call home.

We’ve grown a lot since 2006, but our mission remains the same: we are here to positively impact our employees, customers and communities.

Ace Hardware is a nationally recognized brand built on a cooperative model that has been serving communities since 1924. Unlike a traditional corporate chain, Ace Hardware stores are independently owned and operated by local business owners who work together as part of the Ace cooperative. This model gives local owners the ability to make decisions based on the needs of their customers, employees, and communities while benefiting from the strength, resources, and recognition of the Ace brand.
Timberline Ace has five locally owned and operated stores, led by teams who know and care about the communities we serve. While the Ace name is recognized nationwide, our stores are independently operated by two Montana families (the Dowdells and Shellenbergs), giving us the freedom to make decisions that are right for our customers, employees, and communities.
Locally owned. Nationally known.
