Paul's Progress - November 2026 | | |
|
Can you believe we're already in November?! Halloween has come and gone, and what a weekend it was! Between all the rain, flooding, power outages, and Halloween festivities, there was certainly a lot going on! I hope everyone stayed safe through it all and was still able to enjoy a little Halloween fun despite the weather.
Now that November is here, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and the holiday season is officially getting underway! Hopefully, we can look forward to some beautiful Arizona fall weather, with cooler mornings and sunny afternoons. After those long summer months (and all that rain!), I think we're all ready for a little sunshine and some nice, crisp mornings!
November always seems to be a good reminder to slow down a little and appreciate the things that matter most. With Thanksgiving approaching, I've been thinking about how much there is to be thankful for, especially as we continue celebrating 70 years of Paul's Ace Hardware. What an incredible milestone! From the customers who have been shopping with us for generations to the wonderful Paul's Family Members who make our stores what they are, there's so much to be grateful for. We wouldn't be celebrating 70 years without all of YOU!
Of course, November also means the holiday shopping and decorating season is getting underway! Whether you're getting your home ready for Thanksgiving guests, starting to put up Christmas decorations, or getting a head start on your gift shopping, we're here to help. Be sure to check out our top sales and specials and Ace Hardware's Red Hot Buys for some great deals this month. Make your lists and stop by your favorite Paul's Ace Hardware neighborhood location to see what we've got in store!
As always, thank you for continuing to choose Paul's for your home improvement needs. We know you have plenty of choices, and your support means the world to our Paul's Family. We love hearing from you, too! Feel free to give us a call, send us an email, or reach out on your favorite social platform. You can also share your feedback by texting HELPFUL to 223439 or visiting Talkto.AceHardware.com.
From all of us at Paul's, here's to a wonderful November filled with family, friends, good food, and plenty of reasons to be thankful. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃❤️
Remember... ACE is the Place!!

The 70th Anniversary Fun Continues with a Tailgate Party
on Sunday, November 15th!
| |
What a year it's been celebrating 70 years of Paul's Ace Hardware! We've had so much fun celebrating with our customers throughout the year, and we're keeping the festivities going with another anniversary party!
We're bringing the fun to our Tempe location at Rural & Broadway with a Tailgate Party & Scavenger Hunt! Get ready for food, football, games, vendor demos, and plenty of surprises as we continue celebrating this incredible milestone!
📍 929 E Broadway Rd, Tempe, AZ 85282
The highlight of the day? Our 70th Anniversary Scavenger Hunt! We'll have special numbered totes hidden throughout the store, each corresponding to a surprise prize. Keep your eyes peeled as you explore the aisles because you never know what you might find! Prizes will include Paul's gift cards, tools, grilling goodies, and more. One prize tote per customer, while supplies last!
What's a tailgate party without football and food?! We'll have the Arizona Cardinals game playing live, so you can catch some of the action while enjoying hot dogs, games like cornhole and giant Connect 4, and vendor demos featuring some of your favorite brands. Bring your Cardinals spirit and come ready for a little football fun!
Don't forget your Shopper Hopper Passport! Bring it along to collect your Rural & Broadway stamp! Time is running out to complete your passport before the end of the year! Visit all 8 Paul's Valley/Payson locations in 2026 to earn a $70 Paul's Gift Card! If you've still got a few stops left to make, now's the time to get those stamps before December 31st!
We've loved celebrating this special milestone with the customers and communities who have helped make these 70 years possible, and we're excited to keep the fun going!
Come hungry, bring your game face, and join us for another unforgettable 70th Anniversary celebration! 🏈🎉

Veterans Day holds a special place in our hearts here at Paul's Ace Hardware. As we're proud to share every year, our founder, Paul himself, served in World War II, and it's a part of our history that means so much to our Paul's Family.
With Veterans Day coming up on November 11th, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank all the brave men and women who have served our country. To our veterans, active-duty military members, and our very own Paul's Family Members who have served, thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifices.
We'd also like to remind our military customers that Paul's Ace Hardware proudly offers a 10% military discount* to active-duty military members and veterans as a small token of our appreciation. Just ask a sales associate at any of our locations for details.
From our Paul's Family to yours, thank you for your service. We appreciate you today, on Veterans Day, and every day. 🇺🇸❤️

Throughout October, Paul's accepted Round-Up donations at our registers to raise money for several wonderful organizations throughout our local communities. These included Rotten Rottie Rescue, River of Time Museum, TCAA – Tempe Community Action Agency, Kiwanis – Zane Grey, and The Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter & Sanctuary.
Thanks to your generosity across all 11 Paul's locations, we raised a total of $13,395.96! Add in Paul's 10% match, and we were able to donate $14,735.57 to these amazing organizations!
Another incredible month that you should ALL be very proud of. Thank you so much!
For the remainder of the year, we'll be accepting Round-Up donations at our registers for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! Our eight Valley and Payson locations will be supporting Phoenix Children's Hospital, while our three Tucson locations, Pima, Sunrise, and Oracle & Magee, will be supporting Tucson Medical Center for Children. We're so fortunate to have these wonderful hospitals caring for children and families right here in our Arizona communities!
As always, participation is completely voluntary! All you have to do is select “yes” or “no” on the keypad when you check out. If you'd like to donate more, we can help with that too! Remember, Paul's matches 10% of all Round-Up donations collected.
Every little bit makes a difference, and we appreciate everyone who chooses to give!

Who doesn't love a good surprise?! With the holiday shopping season getting underway, we thought this would be a great time to remind everyone about our Ace Mystery Boxes, available at all Paul's Ace Hardware locations!
These boxes are filled with surprise assortments of goodies, and you never know exactly what you're going to get until you open one! They have fun themes, like The Green Thumb, featuring gardening and outdoor goodies, or Around the House, with home improvement and household surprises. But those are just a couple of examples!
We have Mystery Boxes in a range of prices and values, with different themes, sizes, and varieties to choose from. They ALL offer pretty incredible value for what’s inside! Selection varies by location, so you might find something different at each Paul's store.
Whether you're looking for a unique holiday gift, a surprise for someone who has everything, or just want to treat yourself to a little mystery, these boxes are a fun way to shop!
Mystery Boxes are available at all 11 Paul's Ace Hardware locations, while supplies last. Stop by your favorite Paul's, see what's available, and pick a mystery of your own! 🎁
| |  | BIG Changes, BIG Savings at Gilbert & Baseline! | |
Starting November 2nd, we're kicking off a MOVING SALE at our Gilbert & Baseline location as we prepare to consolidate operations into our nearby Paul’s Ace Hardware stores. And rather than move all that inventory, we'd much rather pass along some great savings to YOU!
That means 20% OFF the entire Gilbert & Baseline store, with even bigger markdowns coming as we get closer to the end of the year! It's a great opportunity to stock up on home improvement essentials, pick up a few things you've had your eye on, or get a head start on some holiday shopping. Be sure to stop in and see what you can find while supplies last!
Our Gilbert & Baseline location will close to the public starting December 31st, but don't worry, Paul's isn't going anywhere! As we head into the new year, our Paul's Family will still be happy to help you at our other nearby locations, including our two Tempe stores at Priest & Broadway and Rural & Broadway.
We want to thank all of our wonderful customers who have supported our Gilbert & Baseline store over the years. We truly appreciate your loyalty and look forward to continuing to serve you at our other Paul’s locations.
Same helpful hardware folks, same great service, just a new place to shop! ❤️🛠️
| Thanksgiving Is Served... Almost! | |
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and you know what that means... turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and all those delicious holiday favorites are almost back on the menu! 🦃
Whether you're cooking for two or hosting the whole crew, there's always a lot that goes into putting together a Thanksgiving feast. You've got the turkey, the sides, the desserts, and of course, that one dish everyone insists HAS to be on the table every year!
That's where your Paul's Family can lend a hand! Need a roaster oven to free up some oven space? Thinking about firing up the Traeger for your turkey this year? Or maybe you just realized your meat thermometer has disappeared since last Thanksgiving. We've got cooking essentials to help you get everything ready for the big day!
Let's not forget about all those sweet treats! From cookie baking supplies to candy thermometers, we can help with dessert, too. You could even surprise everyone with a pumpkin pie made on your Traeger!
Whether you're sticking with family traditions or trying something new this year, stop by your favorite Paul's Ace Hardware and let us help you get ready for the big feast!
Here's to full plates, happy hearts, and hopefully enough leftovers for the weekend!

We recently received some wonderful customer feedback about Steve Vanwinkle at our Scottsdale & McDowell location, and it was just too good not to share!
"Hi! I'd like to compliment you on an employee that went above & beyond on my recent visit. This employee is Steve Vanwinkle. As a senior female, I entered your store needing a solution to my neighbor's A/C condenser pipe spewing water onto my patio. After numerous questions, Steve arrived at a perfect, easy-to-install solution for my problem, plus he even made sure to loosen the cap on the pvc cement so that I could easily open it at home. He is truly a gem! Thanks, Steve! I highly recommend your store to others due to the spectacular customer service that I receive each time I come to shop. There's never a doubt that I will come home with exactly what I need."
How wonderful is that?! Way to go, Steve! It's those little extra steps that make such a big difference, and we're so proud to have you as part of our Paul's Family! A big thank-you to this customer for taking the time to share such kind words. We love hearing about experiences like this, and it means so much to know our team is making a difference!
Have you had a great experience at Paul's? We'd love to hear about it! Share your feedback on your favorite review platform, and don't forget to give a shout-out to the Paul's Family Member (or Members!) who helped make your visit special! ❤️
