History

Established in 2000.

Alpine Hardware of Colorado began in 1971 when Vance Grenko and his family purchased the hardware side of United Lumber, a store that had opened in Aspen in 1931. After serving as Managing Partner for 10 years, Vance’s eldest daughter Vicki took the reins and made Alpine Ace Hardware in Aspen the helpful neighborhood store it remains today.

With the support of a strong group of dedicated employees, Vicki was able to purchase Alpine Hardware in Aspen from her parents in 1995. In 1998, she and her son Vance opened another small, neighborhood, mountain town, hardware store in their home town of Carbondale, Colorado.

Vicki married Chris Peterson in 2002 and Ace Hardware of Carbondale became the strong, community supporting store that Vicki had envisioned. Alpine Hardware purchased Ace Hardware of Clifton in 2006 to bring their small town style of retailing down I-​70 to the town that Chris grew up in and still cares so much about.
