Big John's Ace Hardware

John D. Lindsey has been a retailer in the lumber, hardware, and building materials business since 1968, when his father Art purchased the Cedaredge Lumber Company. That legacy continues today at Big John's Ace Hardware in Glenwood Springs, where the store operates under the philosophy of thinking outside the big box. The inventory spans practical home goods like paint supplies and grills to seasonal essentials including snow plows and swamp coolers. Shoppers also browse Breck Bears and RV supplies alongside standard hardware items.

The store distinguishes itself with a robust suite of services. Customers can utilize computerized paint color matching to blend perfect colors in various finishes, supported by a free paint recycling program through PaintCare.org. Screen repair is available for doors and windows, with materials chosen for durability and color, including options for pets. Assembly and repair services cover mowers and grills, with staff certified to handle Traeger grill tune-ups and repairs. Key cutting extends beyond house keys to include automotive chip keys and lock rekeying for both residential and vehicle doors.

As a locally owned business, Big John's Ace Hardware actively supports local causes, sponsoring high school sports, Little League, and the Children’s Miracle Network. The store maintains a presence on Facebook and offers gift cards for those seeking a reliable option for hard-to-please recipients.
