Ace Retail Group recently announced Robert Massengill as its new president. Massengill, a 20-year veteran of the company, brings operational leadership, strategic development and legal expertise to the role.
As president, Massengill will lead enterprise-wide strategy, operations and growth across Ace Retail Group’s multi-state retail hardware platform. Prior to his appointment, he served as senior vice president of business development and general counsel for the company. In that role, he oversaw new store development, enterprise expansion, commercial business, legal strategy and compliance.
“It’s an exciting time to lead Ace Retail Group,” says Massengill. “What this team has built is something special, and I’m honored to serve alongside the associates who make it all possible. Their commitment to our customers and communities is what drives this company forward.”
Throughout his 20-year tenure, Massengill has been a driving force behind the company’s expansion of store footprint and growth of commercial business across the United States.
“Our future is bright,” he says. “We’ll grow intentionally, adding stores where we can make a real local impact, reinvesting in existing locations to create modern, relevant and engaging shopping experiences and sharpening our focus on speed so we can get the right products to customers faster. The strategy is sound, but it’s our people who will bring it to life. We have some of the best in the business, and that’s our greatest competitive advantage.”
