Aubuchon buys Brunswick Ace Hardware
Aubuchon Company announced it has acquired Brunswick Ace Hardware in Brunswick, Maryland, from owners Keith and Lisa Gilbert.
“Since 2016, Brunswick Ace Hardware has become a destination for customers in Brunswick, Maryland,” said William E. Aubuchon, IV, president and CEO.
“After extensive careers in other industries, Keith and Lisa pivoted and dove into hardware retailing with passion and dedication, building up a team to serve customers and make a difference in their local community. Their story is an entrepreneurial inspiration,” said Aubuchon.
With their children now grown and engaged in rewarding careers of their own, Keith and Lisa have decided to step back and do more than just work.
“We love that Aubuchon is a family-owned business with values perfectly aligned with ours. We’re confident that Aubuchon will pick up where we left off and more,” said Keith Gilbert.
The store will continue to operate as Brunswick Ace Hardware, said Aubuchon Company.
“We always viewed our relationship with our customers as a partnership. Making a difference in the community is not only good for business, but it has filled our hearts,” said Lisa Gilbert.
“We could have never accomplished everything without our incredible team of dedicated employees. We all learned and grew together over the years and became a family that Keith and I will miss tremendously,” she said.
After the closing in March, the Aubuchon Company will operate 114 stores in 9 states.
“We’ll soon officially welcome the Brunswick team to the Aubuchon family. We work hard, we take care of each other, and we have fun,” said Aubuchon. “We couldn’t be more delighted to carry on the Brunswick Ace legacy.”
