The Story of Sneade's Ace Home Center: A Legacy of Service, Growth, and Community

Sneade’s Ace Home Center began its journey in 1975 when George and Mary Sneade opened a small hardware store in North Beach, Maryland. With a focus on offering quality products and exceptional service, the store quickly became a trusted resource for homeowners and contractors alike. This family-run business was built on the idea that personalized service and a community-first approach could make a real difference.

As the business flourished, Sneade’s expanded its footprint, opening a second location in Solomons, Maryland. This move allowed the business to reach more customers, offering an even broader selection of products while staying true to its core values. In 2002, the business expanded again, opening a new and larger location in Lusby, Maryland. This new store was further expanded in 2014 to become a full-service ACE-Lumber / ACE-Contractor Center, complete with a spacious garden center.

A New Generation Takes the Helm

Today, Sneade’s Ace Home Center is led by a new generation of Sneades—Ben and Dana, who are now part of the ownership team. Dana, the daughter of Dave Sneade (the son of George and Mary), and her husband Ben have stepped into leadership roles and are continuing the family’s legacy of excellent service and quality. Dana and Ben were instrumental in acquiring the two stores in St. Mary’s County, ensuring that Sneade’s remains a strong and reliable presence in the region.

Dave Sneade, Dana’s father, played an integral role in growing the business and making Sneade’s a household name in Southern Maryland. Together with his wife Lynne, Dave worked tirelessly to build the foundation for the company’s continued success. Lynne has been a key part of the family’s business journey, offering her support behind the scenes and ensuring the business thrived through her unwavering commitment to the family values of quality and community. Dave and Lynne’s leadership has left a lasting impact, with their dedication continuing to influence the direction of Sneade’s Ace Home Center today.

Looking to the Future: Expanding into Prince Frederick

As Sneade’s looks to the future, the opening of a new store in Prince Frederick, Maryland, marks an exciting new chapter. This expansion will help Sneade’s reach even more customers in Southern Maryland, offering the same high-quality products and friendly, knowledgeable service the community has come to rely on. It also represents the company’s commitment to growth while staying true to its core values.

A Community-Focused Business

Sneade’s Ace Home Center has always been more than just a hardware store. From supporting local schools and charities to helping homeowners and contractors complete their projects, Sneade’s is deeply embedded in the Southern Maryland community. The company’s dedication to customer service and its commitment to providing quality products have made it a trusted name for nearly five decades.

With Ben and Dana leading the way, Sneade’s is well-positioned for continued success. The future looks bright as they expand and continue to offer the best in home improvement products and expert advice while maintaining the personal touch that has always defined the company.
