Sunshine Ace Hardware is a family-owned business that has been serving the Southwest Florida community since its inception in 1958. Founded by Don Wynn, the company began as a grocery store called Wynn’s Market, which eventually transitioned into Sunshine Hardware. This change reflected a commitment to providing top-notch merchandise and exceptional customer service—a principle that continues to guide the company's operations today.
With nine locations along the picturesque western edge of the Southwest Florida coast, Sunshine Ace Hardware is much more than just a traditional hardware store. They specialize in a comprehensive array of products including plumbing and electrical supplies, tools, housewares, and a broad selection of fishing gear and outdoor living equipment. Each store is staffed by a team of knowledgeable and friendly employees who are dedicated to helping customers find the right products and providing expert advice for all home and project needs.
In 1964, Sunshine Ace became part of the Ace Hardware Cooperative, allowing it to offer an extensive range of hardware products typically found in larger cities while still maintaining the charm of a small, local store. This cooperative relationship enables Sunshine Ace to stock quality premium brands at competitive prices, catering to everyone from casual DIYers to professional contractors.
Beyond hardware, Sunshine Ace Hardware provides valuable services such as free delivery, fishing repair services, and rod tip repair, ensuring customers have access to the support they need for their projects. Their commitment to the community is also evident through various local initiatives and the Extra Mile Promise, which emphasizes customer satisfaction and personalized service.
As they continue to operate in a rapidly changing retail landscape, Sunshine Ace remains focused on their core values: excellence in service, a commitment to quality, and a genuine passion for helping their customers thrive in the beautiful Florida sunshine.
