Ace Hardware has named Benjamin Moore its preferred paint supplier and will offer an assortment of Benjamin Moore paints to participating Ace stores in the U.S. by Spring 2020.

“Since 2005, Benjamin Moore and Ace Hardware have worked together to service the DIY customer through the hardware segment.
