Nelson Agri-Center Ace Hardware has proudly served the Viroqua community since 1954, originally founded by Fred Nelson. After changing ownership in 1989, it evolved into a family-run business. Nelson Ace in Prairie du Chien, initially a True Value Hardware, became Nelson True Value in 1998 under Roy Kanis, leading to significant expansions. Under Dan Kanis and Mark Brueggen, the stores garnered national recognition, including the 2009 Innovative Hardware Retailer award. Now owned by Dan's sons, Jacob and Garriet, both locations remain committed to exceptional products, personal service, and community involvement.
