Sunshine Ace Hardware opens in Ave Maria

A new Sunshine Ace Hardware store has opened in the master-planned community of Ave Maria.

Located less than a mile from the inland community’s Town Center, the shop includes tools, hardware, lawn and garden supplies, paint and grilling departments, plumbing fixtures, and propane, among other items.

“When you need to buy a new lightbulb, charcoal for the grill or tools to complete that long-overdue DIY project, you don’t want to drive 15 or 20 minutes each way,” Sunshine Ace Hardware President Michael Wynn says in a statement. “This new store brings convenience to residents and businesses in Ave Maria, along with the friendly, helpful customer service that has defined our brand for 66 years.”
