Ace Hardware will be closing soon in Vancouver, Washington. I had to re-read those news twice to see if I was mistaken. I just never see an Ace Hardware close.
They lost a lot of foot traffic after the county installed the median that made customers lose incentive on patronizing their store. It all went downhill from there I suspect, such a shame.
There's no exact date of the closure, but when they sell everything in their inventory they will be gone from their location at 809 N.E. Minnehaha Street.
