Sunshine Ace Hardware hosts ribbon-cutting celebration at newly acquired Pinellas County location

Sunshine Ace Hardware, a Naples-based family-owned hardware company, hosted a celebration to commemorate the addition of its eighth location, Hammerhead’s Ace Hardware located at 1015 West Bay Drive in Largo, Florida. The Central Pinellas Chamber of Commerce joined Sunshine Ace Hardware employees and leaders during a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 20.

Sunshine Ace Hardware acquired the 42,000-square-foot Hammerhead’s Ace Hardware in late 2017, expanding its services into Pinellas County, Florida. Previously owned and operated by Bill and Sue Gessert, Hammerhead’s Ace Hardware, built in 2005, features a unique offering, a 5,000-square-foot gift shop. The gift shop with wooden floors offers a variety of items to meet the needs and desires of any customer including beach accessories and decor, wall clocks and jewelry. The charming gift shop is often a pleasant surprise for the hardware store’s many visitors.

After its acquisition, Sunshine Ace Hardware appointed Hammerhead’s Ace Hardware employee, Jeffery Gawel as the store manager, and the store’s other employees remained within their current roles.

“Throughout its more than 12 years in business, Hammerhead’s Ace Hardware has built a great connection with the Pinellas County community, and we are proud to continue to build this strong relationship for many years to come,” said Michael Wynn, Sunshine Ace Hardware president. “We are truly thankful for the Central Pinellas Chamber of Commerce and the community for coming together in celebration of Sunshine Ace Hardware joining the Pinellas County community.”
