Paul's Progress - December 2025

Hi Neighbor!!

Happy Holidays! Christmas time is officially here! While you’re reading this, I’m actually on my honeymoon in Saint Lucia, so it’s definitely not a white Christmas for me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Maybe I’ll even try building a sand snowman instead just like that super cool one! My wedding was absolutely amazing, and thank you so much to everyone who reached out with kind words and well wishes, and to all of our loyal readers. We always love hearing your stories and feedback!


Now that I’m officially done with wedding planning, I’m excited to kick back and relax. I’m hoping Christmas slows down just a little so we can all take some time to truly enjoy the season. For me, it means leaning into all the cozy things, baking cookies, sitting by the fire when Arizona gives us a cold night, and watching all my favorite Christmas movies. Christmas with the Kranks is my go-to! What’s yours?


I thoroughly enjoyed Thanksgiving, and I hope you did as well. BUT I realized I still have a LOT of shopping left to do! That’s okay though, I’m sure all the great deals coming in December, including our Red Hot Buys at Paul’s Ace Hardware, will help me finish everything. You might even find a few things to put on your own Christmas wishlist! So check those out, make your lists, and head into your favorite Paul’s Ace Hardware neighborhood store. You’re always welcome to shop online at www.acehardware.com for delivery or pickup, or give us a call! We’re happy to gather your order and deliver it curbside. Of course, we love seeing your smiling faces, so feel free to stop in anytime.


As we close out another year around the sun, and our 69th year in business, we want to thank you all for your continued business and support. ā¤ļø We have a lot of exciting things coming up with next year being Paul’s 70th anniversary, and we can’t wait to share it with you! We know you have choices for your home improvement needs, and we appreciate that you choose us again and again. We love to hear from you so always feel free to drop us a phone call, email or get in touch with us on your favorite social platform! OR take our survey by texting HELPFUL to 223439 or go to Talkto.AceHardware.com!


Remember... ACE is the Place!!

Holiday Stroll


The holiday season is here, and there’s no better time to get into the Christmas spirit! If you haven’t visited our Holiday Stroll yet, now is the perfect month to stop by!


Our Gilbert and Baseline location is all set for you to follow in Santa’s footsteps. With more than 30 charming inflatables and plenty of spots for festive photos, it’s fun for the whole family!


On weekends from 3pm to 6pm, enjoy hot chocolate and roasted s’mores as you explore the display. Make sure to visit often and bring your loved ones for a holiday experience you won’t forget!

Thanksgrilling Event

Every year we host our annual Thanksgrilling event, where we get to celebrate Thanksgiving with our Paul’s employees and beloved customers while enjoying some delicious food. We know the holidays can be tough for many people, and we want you to know that you always have more than a helping hand with your Paul’s Ace Hardware family.


All of our locations participated and put their own spin on this annual event, from Milwaukee displays, to snack samples, and amazing food prepared by our very own employees. For example, at our Gilbert and Baseline location, something extra special was happening, adorable pups were available for adoption through Desert Tails, and two out of the three puppies found their forever homes! The Gilbert location also featured some incredible Thanksgiving bites made by our wonderful employee Greg. The bites were a delicious mix of mashed potatoes, turkey, and stuffing, perfectly paired with a cranberry-orange sauce. They were absolutely amazing and had everyone coming back for seconds!

Round Up to Donate

We have asked you all year to open your hearts and your wallets to various charities and organizations we support each month, and you never fail to amaze us. Thank you to you all, the most amazing customers on the planet. It is so very much appreciated. November's Round Up at the register was all for our own local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Phoenix Children's Hospital. If you've ever needed to be there or use one of their satellite facilities, you know how much of a top notch hospital they really are. We are so lucky to have them in our neighborhoods. YOU all raised an incredible $11,769.94! See how YOUR Paul's location did here! As always, Paul's matches 10% of the donations. Another incredible month that you should ALL be very proud of. Thank you so much ā¤ļø


We will continue to accept Round-Up Donations at our registers for Phoenix Children's Hospital throughout December. Let's see if we can beat November!


This is all completely voluntary. All you have to do is click "yes" or "no" on the keypad when you use your credit or debit card at the registers. And if you want to donate more, we can take that too. And remember, Paul's will match 10% of all that is raised. Let's see what we can do together!

Decorations, Gifts, and More!

This month I want to highlight the some of the amazing products Paul's has available for this holiday season!


Our holiday decorations are available in all shapes and colors! And I'm not just talking about the lights! Tree's, wreaths, and inflatables are available along with all you need to help set everything up and take it down. I know having the right ladders, storage, and even extension cords are essential when making your home beautiful for the holidays. I especially love the idea of using our mini Ace buckets as ornaments, just like on these trees!


It's also time to do your Christmas shopping as Christmas is only 25 days away! Paul's has great gift options for everyone in your family. I know I always have a hard time finding a good gift for the men in my life because they always just buy things for themselves if they want it! I've come to learn you can never go wrong with a gift from Paul's Ace no matter how big or small! This can be a new grill, tool kit, a Yeti cup, or even a Milwaukee heated jacket. I know Arizona doesn’t get super cold, but as a native, I would still love to cozy up in one on those crisp 50 and 40 degree nights! And if you’re not sure what someone might like, a gift card is always a perfect option and makes a wonderful stocking stuffer.

We can’t wait for you to see the changes and enjoy the new updates, from even better product displays to a more convenient shopping experience, there’s a lot to look forward to! Be sure to stop by soon and check out all the improvements.

Customer Comments

We recently received an email directly from our customer Patricia about our wonderful employee Sharon at our Fountain Hills store and we just had to share it!


"I would just like to make you aware of how very helpful Sharon in your Fountain Hills store is. I was in there a few days ago looking for AA batteries. Sharon showed me where to find them, explained each one, and helped me figure out which package would be the best value. That was so helpful and very thoughtful. I thought you ought to know what a good, helpful worker you have in Sharon."


Thank you so much, Patricia, for sharing your experience. We are so lucky to have Sharon on our team and to have customers like you!


If you get great service, let us know on your favorite platform and make sure to mention your favorite Paul's Family Member or Members!

Shop Local

Shopping local does so much for the communities we all live in. For every $100 spent locally, roughly $68 stays directly in the community. When you shop at your favorite 3rd generation locally owned and operated Paul's Ace Hardware, know that your purchases pay the salaries of close to 200 of your neighbors, the rent and mortgages to local landlords and banks, and we are able to give back to local nonprofits, community groups, and local businesses. How awesome is that.

Think. Shop. Buy. Local!

Ace Hardware App

If you haven't downloaded the Ace Hardware mobile app you need to today! Not only does it complete your shopping experience in the palm of your hand with all your favorite exclusives, offers, and Rewards from Ace, but currently we have a $10 bonus for anyone that downloads the app for the first time and links your Ace rewards account!
