Make Sender's Ace Hardware Your Christmas Shopping Destination!!
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/29/2020 07:48 AM
Mountain Ranch & Valley Springs, CA...We have lots of new Christmas items and more on the way!!! Before you go shop anywhere else, stop in and see what we have! Chances are we have what you're looking for!! In 1950, we started out as a family operation with Erich’s father and mother, August and Freida Sender, in a century-old adobe building. The upstairs was home to the Sender family, and the first floor included groceries, a meat market, a bar, and a small eating place called Opa’s Smokehouse. On Christmas morning in 1968, the old store was destroyed by fire. But in June 1969, Sender’s Market, Inc. was opened. Since that time, there have been many changes, including remodeling, expansion, and the addition of many employees. That’s also when we added the truss plant and purchased Sender’s Market Ace Hardware in Valley Springs. Today, we're still family owned and still working hard to stock everything from pantry essentials to power tools. Whether you've got questions about the perfect cut of meat or the right kind of paint, our helpful, knowledgeable staff has you covered. Click on images below for larger versions
