A Vermont hardware store with locations in Burlington, Colchester, Essex, South Burlington,
and Springfield.

In August of 2000, Rick Bibens purchased his second store, the 1st located in northern Vermont, Lakeshore Hardware & Marine, now known as Bibens Ace Colchester.   This location is a 10,000 square foot store located on Mallets Bay, overlooking beautiful Lake Champlain, thus providing easy access to and from the lake for all of our marine customers.  As one of the only locally owned hardware stores in the area, we offer all departments of Ace Hardware.  However, we are unique in that we offer a full line of hunting, fishing, and marine items, complete with live bait and Vermont State hunting and fishing licenses.  As the store was originally built years ago as a hardware store, Bibens Ace Colchester is proud to continue the tradition of generations past, those who come back time and time again for the same goods, year after year.

What sets us apart from those other hardware stores?  We listen to the Public everyday on what they need to buy and through the backing of our Distribution Center of over 65,000 items and our four other sister stores we go out of our way to accommodate that customer’s needs.  We’re our own Buyers and we can get the items here at least twice a week if not sooner.  Few other retailers can match that combination.  We're happy to help you in any way we can, continuing the tradition of the helpful place with a family face.
