Congratulations to our ACE Co-op Country Stores in Amherst and Corridor, Nova Scotia on their grand opening event during the May 12thweekend. In addition to some great deals featured in their local flyer, the stores hosted a hot dog lunch and some exciting giveaways. Corridor found their petting zoo was quite a hit! Both locations had a good turnout for the event, and even noticed many new customers visiting the store. ACE Territory Support Manager Brian Hillis was in attendance as well.
Congratulation to co-owners Barry, Doug and Julie Eidt, Manager Brent Bowen and staff on the grand opening at Arthur Ace Hardware in Arthur, Ontario. They held a three-day grand opening celebration from April 27th to 29th. This is the third location for this family-owned business. The event featured giveaways, vendor meet and greets, face painting for kids, demos and a hot dog/hamburger barbeque fundraiser hosted by the local 4-H club.
Quote from Barry Eidt : “Doug and I want to thank Ace Corporate and our Arthur employees for the hard work that went into this big event. The extra effort does not go unnoticed, and it is why we are successful in the stores we operate. We know we can lean on the Ace team to help get the job done and it benefits the entire organization.”

From September 20-22 ACE Dealers gathered at the Toronto Congress Centre with Peavey Mart managers and team members from both London and Red Deer offices of Peavey Industries LP.
This was our first in person conference/trade show event since 2019 and therefore the event was dubbed “Family Reunion”. We had a strong turnout of vendors for the Dealers and Managers to meet and connect with.
In additional to time spent on the Trade Show floor, dealers had the opportunity to meet with Peavey executives, their merchandising team, as well as participate in educational sessions. Throughout the event, Dealers
were able to provide valuable feedback and to meet with their Territory Support Managers. Other functions during the conference included a live buying/auction style, as well as an Awards Recognition banquet.
