Williamston Ace Hardware & Rental was founded in 1925 by J.L. Simpson. The company is currently owned by Jim Simpson, the grandson of J.L. Simpson.

Jim’s mother, Helen, then continued the business after her husband’s death, at age 41, until their son Jim returned from earning a degree from Clemson University in 1972.
