Laskowski Ace

Laskowski Ace is a neighborhood hardware store that stocks tools and hardware, seasonal paints, plumbing and electrical supplies, and lawn, garden and outdoor living products. It is part of Ace Hardware, the retailer-owned cooperative, and its roots go back to 1962, when Rich and Joanne Laskowski bought a small Ace store in Round Lake.

The chain now has ten stores in towns including Round Lake, Antioch, Gurnee, Waukegan and McHenry. The Round Lake location, the original store, is the largest at 46,000 square feet. Staff are known for knowledgeable advice and helpful service, and the Ace Rewards program covers regular customers. Customers with questions can reach the Ace Care Center by phone or email.
