Ace nearly ready to open….

Donny's upbeat about the store's future....

Last night I got the chance to see behind the red door coverings & see what’s been going on inside Ace Hardware. Gotta say – wow. Donny Galt has hired a friendly staff, the shelves are nearly all stocked, and it’s pretty impressive what he & the Anacortes store (they work together) have pulled together. Project manager Lynn Danaher says this new store will have 30% more products on the new shelves.

Last night’s sneak peek was sponsored by Ace & the Chamber of Commerce, as Ace hosted the evening’s member meeting. The red stuff on the doors comes down on the 15th when the store opens; there will be a Grand Re-Opening in mid-April.
