Hardware chain opens new call center

FORT MYERS — Ace Hardware officially opens its new customer contact center Fort Myers today.

The center plans to field its first call at 8 a.m., according to a statement. Ace Vice President of Human Resources Kane Calamari will be there as well, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the release adds.

In July Ace Hardware announced it would open a customer care center/call center in property inside Page Field owned by the Lee County Port Authority. When fully staffed, the 10,000-square-foot, fully renovated office space will house about 110 Ace employees.
