Cashier & Customer Support

We are hiring for part-time cashier and customer support roles working in the store. Friday through Sunday are our busiest days, and strong front-end coverage is essential.

Availability for at least one or two of these days is required.

If you enjoy working with people, staying active, and being part of a team, this is a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Operate the register and keep lines moving during busy periods
• Greet customers and create a positive experience
• Help direct customers to the right areas of the store
• Support the team wherever needed throughout the day

What We’re Looking For

• Availability on weekends, especially Friday–Sunday
• Positive attitude and comfort working with customers
• Willingness to jump in and help without being asked
• Team-oriented and eager to learn

What You’ll Get

• Consistent scheduling you can count on
• Early evening hours — no late nights
• A strong, team-focused environment
• An active role that goes by quickly

Our stores get busy on weekends as customers work on their homes and projects—this is a great role for someone who enjoys being part of that energy.

Our Story

Our story began in 2006, when the Dowdell and Shellenberg families partnered to purchase three Ace Hardware stores in Livingston, Butte, and Anaconda, Montana. From the beginning, the vision was bigger than simply operating great hardware stores: we wanted to be the best employer in the communities we serve.

Since then, we’ve grown from three stores to five, expanding into Northwest Montana with Glacier Ace Hardware in Evergreen and Columbia Falls Ace Hardware. While our footprint has grown, our commitment has stayed the same. We are proud to be a Montana-owned and operated company focused on creating a positive experience for our employees, customers, and communities.

Our culture is built around three core values:

• Own It
• Be a Great Teammate
• Go the Extra Mile

These values guide how we work, how we treat one another, and how we serve our customers. We believe our people are what make our stores special, and we want to create a workplace where employees can contribute, grow, take pride in their work, and make a positive impact in their communities.

Today, our five stores serve Livingston, Butte, Anaconda, Evergreen, and Columbia Falls, and we’re proud to be part of the Ace Hardware family. Ace combines the strength and resources of a nationally recognized brand with the independence and local ownership that allow us to stay connected to the communities we call home.

We’ve grown a lot since 2006, but our mission remains the same: we are here to positively impact our employees, customers and communities. 

Our chain of hardware stores was founded in June 2006 by the Dowdell and Shellenberg families of Livingston, Montana. They purchased three stores in Livingston, Butte and Anaconda, MT. Matt was one of Tom's tax clients when Tom approached him to go into business together. He easily drew Matt in by telling him that he wanted to be a business owner to be "the best employer in three communities." So, their partnership began with that vision in mind. Matt oversees the daily business operations while Tom manages the finances.
After 15 years in business, we have the opportunity to grow! In 2020, Matt and Tom bought The Hardware Store in Evergreen, MT, and converted it into an Ace Hardware. Nearby, in Columbia Falls, MT, we added a fifth Ace Hardware by building the store from the ground up. We loved taking on the company expansion and growing our work family!
We are proud to be affiliated with Ace Hardware Corporation based in Oak Brook, IL. Ace is a nationally known, but locally owned cooperative that has been in business since 1924 and recognized as America’s premier hardware wholesaler.
