The Dallas store will feature a full range of lawn and garden supplies, tools, fasteners, plumbing, and electrical products to help customers with home improvement, repair, and maintenance projects. Services will include key fob replacement, propane tank exchange, and home delivery. 

The Kitchen Connection at Westlake Ace Hardware — a popular store-within-a-store concept from Westlake Ace — will offer gourmet foods, cookware, kitchen tools, and linens. Customers can also expect to find trusted and popular brands, including:
