Ace Hardware is inviting everyone to come into the store on Moapa Valley Boulevard and enter a free contest for a chance to win a sturdy five-drawer tool center sponsored by Craftsman Tools.

“Although the drawing won’t be until Saturday June 25, the tool center would be a great belated Father’s Day gift which is this Sunday, just a few days away,” said Mark Hopkins, Ace co-owner.

The deadline to enter the drawing is Monday, June 20, Hopkins said. There is no purchase necessary and the winner doesn’t have to be present if his/her name is drawn. The store will contact the winner.

The tool center drawing celebrates a new agreement in which Ace now sells Craftsman Tools, previously available only in other retail outlets.

“We can also honor Craftsman return policy warranty in which Craftsman tool owners can return broken tools for a replacement,” Hopkins said. “They only have to bring the broken tool in and we forward it to Craftsman which mails out a replacement in a week or so.”

This year marks the 10-year anniversary for the local Ace store which also sells lumber, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies, and a huge variety of other equipment, tools and hardware related items.

The store also sells fishing and hunting supplies and licenses, and is the only outlet for firearms in Moapa Valley.
