Hornung’s hardware turns to ACE: Family owned, Still providing personal service.
One of Lower Paxton Township’s most well-known local businesses, Hornung’s True Value Hardware, has undergone a major transformation to Hornung’s ACE Home Center, but will retain the values and personal services that are the trademarks of the family-owned and operated enterprise.

"One of the things that will not change during our transition is the people." Hornung said. "We are proud of our sales staff’s ability to help our customers, saving them time and money over the larger, impersonal superstores."
