ACE Hardware to Get a Facelift

ACE Hardware of Apple Valley and locally owned by the Simon family will be completely reconstructing and upgrading the exterior to a very modern look. The focus will be mostly the exterior beautification as well as many interior upgrades as well. Construction will begin this fall and hopefully be completed before the holidays. They will still keep the parts of the wooden floor which are curved when you enter and it is the former rollerskating rink. While we are talking about the Simons, we want to note and again thank ACE Apple Valley for being the sponsor of our Home & Garden Expo. They help fund the 12-page Star Tribune special insert (in all papers south of the river) as well as a special high-gloss insert which reminds people it is “today.” We honestly would not have half the crowd of 6,000 without their generous support.
