Johnson County-based hardware store chain Westlake Ace has officially opened its relocated Olathe store.
The company closed its store at 120 N. Clairborne Road at the beginning of March, citing the upcoming overhaul project at the Interstate 35/Santa Fe Street interchange as a reason for closing.
At the end of March, Westlake Ace reopened in a new location inside a former Walgreens space on the northeast corner of 151st Street and Black Bob Road.
