 The History of Crown Ace Hardware

Crown Hardware began as a simple “mom and pop” hardware store in Corona del Mar, California, in 1949. The name was derived from the name of the community itself. Corona del Mar, translated from Spanish  is “Crown of the sea.”  The original owners recognized the need in the community for a local, convenient, and helpful hardware store. Thus Crown Hardware was born.

Today, almost 60 years later, much has changed, but Crown Hardware is still committed to offering our local communities the very best in customer service, convenience, and product selection. The Crown Hardware team prides itself on having a helpful and knowledgeable staff and the commitment to being the most helpful hardware stores on the planet.

Crown Hardware has grown with Orange County. Since 1974 when Jeff Schulein purchased the business, he and his son Mark have expanded Crown into 10 additional communities throughout Orange County offering the same high level of service and convenience. Today Crown Hardware proudly operates in Anaheim Hills, Corona del Mar, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, and Mission Viejo. 


The next step for Crown was branching out of Orange County and taking their mission of offering outstanding customer experiences to new communities. In January 2007, Crown purchased four new stores located in Riverside and Yucaipa, California and two stores in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. And in June of 2008, the first San Diego location, and their flagship store, opened in the Liberty Station development of Point Loma. This brings the current count to sixteen stores to serve you.

Crown teamed up with the Ace Hardware Corporation in the mid 1980’s to provide the leverage and buying power to help make Crown even better.  Today, although the name has changed to Crown Ace Hardware, the focus and commitment remain the same. Crown Ace is still family-owned and operated by the Schulein family. They firmly believe that Crown’s success is based on one golden rule:  provide exemplary customer service.  For over 50 years that is exactly what they have done.

It is clear that in today’s world, customers have many options for their home improvement needs. Crown Hardware offers more than just an extensive selection of quality merchandise. It is the helpful and knowledgeable staff, the smiling faces, the convenience, and the ease of shopping that makes Crown Ace Hardware the destination for thousands of shoppers each and every day.
