Ace hardware is more for mid mid - mid high income segment.

Their products are good, that's why it's at a premium price compare to MR. DIY. Even the places they operate are all in proper malls.

But Malaysians are mostly low to mid low income earners. That's why they got majority of the market share.

Ace hardware sells all branded high end expensive stuff

Mr diy have got their sales strategy spot on. They know Malaysians are not like Americans where they have their own garage and like doing their own diy stuff. Americans will buy branded good quality stuff.

Malaysians on the other hand use one item a few times then chuck it away never to be seen again. Thats why they prefer to buy cheap tools . Use a few times only. And thats how mr diy keep getting repeat sales. Ppl will buy the same tool many times since its so cheap.

Quality migt not be the best but it gets the job done
