ACE Hardware in East Memphis will close by the end of July, store owner Janelle Carter said Friday, June 26.
Carter said she decided not to renew the lease, citing a drop in sales and rising rent.
The store at 5143 Quince Road opened in 2007, and Carter and her husband Jarrett bought it in 2019. Jarrett ran the store until he died in 2021.
