Owner of Ace Hardware stores in Alabama, Mississippi named to company's board
A University of Alabama graduate who owns Ace Hardware stores in Tuscaloosa and Northport has been elected to the company's board of directors.
David Majure, president and founder of Southeast Ace, a chain of six Ace stores in Mississippi and Alabama, was elected to the Ace Hardware board on May 13 during the annual stockholders' meeting.
Steven Burggraf, chairman of the board, said he was 'honored' to welcome Majure to the Oak Brook, Illinois-based hardware company's board of directors.
'I am confident that David's insights and leadership will be a tremendous asset to our organization,' Burggraf said in a news release. 'David's appointment marks an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to the valuable contributions he will bring to the board.'
Majure earned a bachelor of science degree in business management while at UA. He opened his first Ace store in 2019 in Meridian, Mississippi.
He now serves as the co-chair of the Alabama Ace Retailer Group.
Before founding Southeast Ace, Majure served as president of the Majure Retail Group, which owned and operated a group of Fred's franchise stores and pharmacies throughout the Southeast for over 50 years.
'I am humbled and honored to be elected to represent the most helpful, generous, and hardworking retailers on the planet,' Majure said in the news release. 'I pledge to serve the best interests of my fellow retailers as Ace continues to navigate and innovate to remain the most helpful and trusted resource for its customers.'
Other boards Majure has served on include the East Mississippi Boys and Girls Club, the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi, the Lamar School Foundation, Great Southern Bank and Children of Abraham Ministries.
