Comings & Goings: Ace Hardware Closing

After 27 years, Westport’s Ace Hardware, 345 Main St., is closing, In a Facebook post, owner Jimmy Izzo said the last day will be Friday, May 25. “This is not a funeral but a celebration,” Izzo said. “Westport is a special place and I feel so blessed to be able to serve this great community for the past 27 years. It’s been a great ride.” He gave no specific reason for the closure, but like many small retailers, Internet buying such as Amazon and big box stores such as Home Depot have taken away many customers.
