Developed as part of Ace’s retail growth strategy, Higher Ground, Pinnacle Performance Retailing is focused on Ace’s customers to ensure that Ace stores deliver on its helpful brand promise, according to a release.

Kabat’s Frontier Ace, 725 W. Apache Trail No. 3B in Apache Junction, is one of only a few hundred Ace retailers to achieve this elite Pinnacle status.

The Kabat family also owns two stores in Mesa: Kabat's Crismon Ace Hardware, 2758 S. Crismon Road; and  Kabat's - Handys Ace Hardware, 7125 E. Main St.

To achieve Pinnacle Performance Retailing, the team at Kabat’s Frontier Ace successfully completed a number of key performance drivers focused on quality, service and convenience, helping them provide a better overall shopping experience in their local community.

One example of a proven performance driver is “Helpful Certification,” the foundational element of Ace’s “Certified Ace Helpful” retail training curriculum. To become certified, Ace Hardware associate’s complete courses such as Helpful 101 and 201 and the store conducts a week-long team-based certification event, the release states.

“Achieving ‘Pinnacle Performance Retailing’ is a tremendous accomplishment for an Ace store,” John Kittell, vice president of retail operations and new business for Ace Hardware Corp., said in the release. “We are pleased to recognize Kabat’s Frontier Ace and its associates for their outstanding achievements, and proud to say they are a part of the Ace family.”

We’re taking ‘Ace helpful’ to a new level.”
