Junction Hardware, a fixture in West Seattle for 70 years, is set to celebrate its grand re-opening as Junction Ace Hardware on June 28th. The event, taking place from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, marks the culmination of its transition from Junction True Value Hardware, a rebrand that began in late 2024 and fully unfolded by early 2025.

This change was prompted by True Value's shift away from a cooperative model after being sold to a private-equity firm, leading store owner Bruce Davis to seek a new affiliation. By joining Ace Hardware, the store has returned to a cooperative structure, enabling member stores to share in profits.

The switch also brings significant enhancements, including a stronger online presence, expanded product selections—especially in grilling equipment and power tools—and additional services like handyman support. Importantly, the store remains locally owned.

The grand re-opening celebration promises a day full of excitement, special offers, and community engagement.

Event Highlights (11:00 am - 2:00 pm, unless otherwise noted):

• Bucket Sale Extravaganza: The first 100 customers will receive a FREE ACE 5 Gallon Bucket, and will be eligible for 20% off most everything that fits into the bucket1.

• Live Entertainment & Giveaways: Enjoy live music throughout the event. Attendees can also participate in prize giveaways and drawings, including a special prize drawing specifically for pets, with celebratory costumes encouraged.

• Complimentary Refreshments: Free hot dogs, popcorn, and drinks will be available from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, while supplies last.

Family-Friendly Fun:

◦ Free Kids Activities: Children can enjoy planting a flower and Ace coloring pages1.

◦ Corn Hole Toss: A corn hole toss game will be available for all ages to enjoy1.

• Vendor Demonstrations: The event will feature demonstrations from some of the best brands in BBQ, Paint, and Power. Brands showcased include Weber, Magnolia Paint, Big Green Egg, Ego, Scotts, Benjamin Moore, SodaStream, and more.

Community Support Initiatives: Junction Ace Hardware is also leveraging its grand re-opening to support local organizations:

• West Seattle Food Bank: Starting June 20th, a donation barrel for non-perishable food items has been placed at Junction Hardware1. On June 28th, a representative from the West Seattle Food Bank will be present to answer questions and accept generous contributions1. The Food Bank also welcomes donations for furry friends, and a wish list is available for donation ideas1.

• West Seattle YMCA: Customers can support the West Seattle YMCA by simply "rounding up" their purchase at the register. This initiative begins on June 28th and will continue through July 31st, 2025.

Junction Ace Hardware's regular store hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Bring a food donation for the West Seattle Food Bank and round up your purchase to support the West Seattle YMCA.
