Transformation is coming to Lake Dallas, Texas, as construction is expected to begin on a new Ace Hardware store at 99 South Lake Dallas Drive according to TDLR filings. Scheduled to start in November 2024, this 13,968-square-foot store will stand as a modern addition to Denton County’s growing retail landscape.
Site Evolution: From Residences to Retail
Historical aerial images from 1958 reveal small homes dotting the area, hinting at a time when this lot in Lake Dallas was residential. By 2022, the homes at this location were gone, with surrounding infrastructure adapting to the booming population and commercial needs driven by its proximity to Interstate 35 East.
The corner of West Hundley Drive, which now features a vacant lot, will soon buzz with activity. This location lies conveniently near major urban centers, such as Dallas and Lewisville, making it an ideal spot for a retailer like Ace Hardware.
A Brief History of Ace Hardware
Ace Hardware traces its roots back to 1924 in Chicago, Illinois. Founded by Richard Hesse, Frank Burke, Oscar Fisher, and E. Gunnard Lindquist, Ace Hardware began as a way to help small hardware stores compete against larger chains. Over time, Ace has expanded to become one of the world’s largest retail cooperatives, with over 5,000 locations globally.
