As most are aware, the local Manchester True Value Hardware store located at 19870 Sharon Valley Rd, was sold and has transitioned to Ace Hardware. On November 8, 2023, the Mirror ran an article introducing us to the new owners, the Clouse family and the direction they would be taking the hardware store. After months of work, the store is ready to host their Grand Opening to the community which will include food, sales, and giveaways!

Beginning Friday, May 10 and running until close on Sunday, May 12, they will be featuring several high ticket item give aways, including a drawing for a grill each day this weekend! The grills include the Traeger model Pro-22 and the Weber Spirit II. You will not have to be present to win and the drawing slips are available in store. Sales will include discounts on paper towels, click lighters, wasp/bee killer, bird seed, suet, and more. There will be free food available for guests who stop in including hotdogs, beef brisket, and smoked cream cheese cooked as part of their grill demonstrations!

Drop by Ace Hardware this weekend check out the changes, and help them celebrate their grand opening!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
