Uber Technologies Inc. Partners with Ace Hardware for Nationwide Delivery Expansion

The partnership aims to streamline the shopping experience for customers seeking home improvement essentials. By leveraging Uber’s advanced delivery technology, consumers can now shop their local Ace Hardware store through the Uber Eats app, allowing for both on-demand and scheduled delivery options.

Bill Kiss, Head of Digital at Ace Hardware, emphasized the community-centric approach of the partnership: “Ace is built on a network of locally-owned stores that are deeply rooted in the communities they serve, and partnering with Uber allows us to meet our customers wherever they are. Whether they’re tackling a last-minute project or planning ahead, our customers now have greater access to fast, flexible solutions for getting the products they need delivered right to their doorstep.”

The collaboration with Ace Hardware illustrates Uber Eats' ongoing commitment to diversifying its offerings beyond food delivery. In 2025 alone, Uber Eats welcomed over 1,000 new retailers globally, expanding its U.S. retail location count to more than 50,000. This strategic shift is in response to evolving consumer behavior, with many individuals increasingly relying on Uber Eats for a wider range of everyday essentials.

Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery and Retail for Uber in North America, shared insights into the strategic rationale behind this partnership: “Consumers are increasingly turning to Uber Eats for more than just meals. They rely on us for a variety of essentials, from paint supplies to mulch for the garden, to the tools needed to kick off a weekend yard cleanup. We’re proud to welcome Ace Hardware’s extensive network and loyal customers to our platform as we continue to expand the selection available to shoppers on Uber Eats.”
