Serving Ace Hardware in Sacramento, California
Ace Hardware Corporation is one of the largest hardware retail cooperatives in the world. Founded in 1924 in Chicago and headquartered today in Oak Brook, Illinois, Ace operates more than 5,800 locally owned stores across all 50 states and over 70 countries — including dozens of California locations and several stores throughout the greater Sacramento region. Because most Ace stores are independently owned franchises, naming the right defendant matters.
Plaintiffs and attorneys serve Ace Hardware for slip-and-fall and premises liability claims at retail stores, ADA compliance suits, wage-and-hour and PAGA actions, product liability claims involving tools and chemicals, vendor and contractor disputes, and subpoenas for purchase records and surveillance footage. Be careful which Ace entity you name. Many Sacramento Ace stores are independently owned LLCs or corporations — for premises and employment claims at a specific store, you may need to name the local owner-operator entity. The corporate cooperative is Ace Hardware Corporation, served via CSC.
Like most large California corporations, Ace Hardware Corporation uses a designated registered agent to accept service of process — meaning the legally required service goes to the agent’s Sacramento office, not directly to a retail store or distribution center. SACRPS handles registered agent service of process every day. We are licensed and bonded with Sacramento County (Reg #024-027), we know exactly who accepts service at every major California registered agent office, and we deliver court-ready proof of service the same day in most cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Ace Hardware’s registered agent in California?
Ace Hardware Corporation’s California registered agent is CSC (Corporation Service Company), located at 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 150N, Sacramento, CA 95833. We serve CSC routinely — see our CSC registered agent page for full details. (Always verify the current agent on file at the California Secretary of State business search before serving — agents can change.)
Which entity should I name in my service?
The corporate cooperative entity is Ace Hardware Corporation, which CSC accepts service for. However, many local Ace Hardware stores are independently owned and operated by separate LLCs or corporations — for slip-and-fall, employment, or premises claims at a specific store, you may need to name (and serve) the local owner-operator entity instead of or in addition to the corporate parent. Verify on your court documents and at the California Secretary of State business search before serving.
Can I serve Ace Hardware at a local store instead?
The most reliable way to serve Ace Hardware is through their registered agent in Sacramento. California law (CCP §415.10 / §416.10) allows service at a corporate headquarters in certain circumstances, but serving at a local store or branch may not satisfy the legal requirements for service on the corporation — and risks defective service that gets thrown out. Using the registered agent avoids that risk entirely. The cost is the same either way ($85 flat for registered agent service).
How fast can you serve CSC?
Same-day in most cases. The CSC office at 2710 Gateway Oaks is open standard business hours, and we can typically pick up your documents and serve them within a few hours of receiving them. Rush jobs are no problem.
What types of legal documents do you serve on Ace Hardware?
Every type — subpoenas (deposition, records, and SDT), summons and complaints, wage garnishments, PAGA notices, ADA demand letters, restraining orders, and discovery subpoenas for store surveillance footage and purchase records. Slip-and-fall and premises liability cases at retail stores are the highest-volume category we handle for Ace Hardware service.
What is the price difference between registered agent service and direct service?
Registered agent service is a flat $85 — that’s the recommended approach for almost all Ace Hardware service. Direct service (when appropriate) is process serving and uses our tiered pricing: Standard $99 (5 days), Expedited $150 (3 days), Rush $175 (24 hours). For 95% of cases, registered agent service is the right choice and the cheaper option.
