Sunshine Ace Hardware stores across Southwest Florida are celebrating the importance of community and small-town values with a series of four Ace Hometown Days events in 2026.

The first Hometown Days event runs May 8-10 – Mother's Day weekend – and features giveaways, flash deals and free gifts.

“My grandfather opened the first Sunshine Ace Hardware store in 1958 when Naples was still a small village, and to this day, we still maintain the same small-town values like caring for your neighbor, supporting each other and building honest relationships,” said Michael Wynn, president of Sunshine Ace Hardware. “Ace Hometown Days are a great way to showcase that nearly seven decades later, we’re still neighborhood stores striving to deliver exceptional customer service and value, all with a smile.”

The May 8-10 Hometown Days event includes:

• Giveaways: The first 48 shoppers who are Ace Rewards members will receive a free Ace Mini Bucket.
• Flash deals: Customers will receive $5 off a mixed flower planter.
• Free gifts: Customers who spend $40 or more will receive a free five-pack of Ace Lawn & Leaf Bags.

Additionally, Ace Rewards members will receive a mystery offer through the Ace Hardware app and earn triple points on purchases of all Weber grills priced $399 and higher.

The first event over Mother’s Day weekend is the first of four Ace Hometown Days celebrations in 2026. Others include Memorial Day (May 22-25), Father’s Day (June 19-21) and Independence Day (July 3-5).
