Thread 'Weber Blackstone sign exclusivity deal with Ace Hardware'

Jun 28, 2025

I searched and didn’t find anything here on this.

On May 8th,
“In a significant realignment of its distribution strategy, Weber-Stephen Products LLC has announced it will end its partnerships with convenience hardware distributors outside of Ace Hardware, designating Emery Jensen Distribution and Ace Hardware as its exclusive distribution partners beginning with the 2026 season.”
This was from:
Weber to End Distribution to Do it Best, Orgill, Other Channels in Move Toward Ace Exclusivity
And also
Ace Hardware and Weber Blackstone Pen Exclusive Deal

This deal also include...

I don't think that includes Lowes or Home Depot and places like Fleet and Farm, but it still should help Ace get more Weber/Blackstone business. My Ace here in little Brazil, IN just moved across the street to a much larger location and now has a pretty impressive display of Webers as well as Blackstones and Traegers.

I wonder if the weber deal to sell exclusively through Ace will affect parts and if distributors are already cutting their inventories as we head toward 2026

Chris made a comment in the thread I linked above that this may not affect the big-box or online retailers.

That would be too bad. How do you know it is going away?

If you are talking to me about the graveyard, they only sell Weber grills, so unless they add a new vendor, I would imagine their pick ups of old grills would end

This seems like a horrible business decision.

Edit: If Big Box Stores are not affected, then I rescind my comment above.
