About Bibens Ace Hardware
Bibens Ace began back in 1949 in Springfield, VT, originally named Bibens Home Center. This was the first of the Bibens Ace locations, by Eric R. Bibens, a builder of fine homes. In 1972, he decided to expand the retail store to 6,500 sq. ft. and close the construction division. The store was a member of the Service Star Hardware co-op until 1982 when the current owner, Eric R. Bibens II, purchased the business from his father and converted it to the Ace Hardware brand. Our second location, in Colchester, VT, was purchased in August 2000. We have subsequently opened 5 additional locations throughout the state, including South Burlington, Burlington (North Avenue), Essex, Brattleboro and Woodstock.
