Ace Retail Group has named Robert Massengill as its new president — a veteran insider with over two decades at the company who’s poised to steer its multi-state hardware empire toward smarter growth. Rising from his role as senior VP of business development and general counsel at Westlake Ace Hardware, Massengill brings deep legal and strategic expertise, plus an MBA and law degree, to lead operations, store expansion, and employee-driven success. With 260+ stores across 18 states, the company is looking to build stronger communities and better shopping experiences — all under a leader who knows the business inside out and believes its people are its greatest asset.
