Great Red Hot Buys at Sender's Ace Hardware Stores in Mountain Ranch & Valley Springs
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/18/2020 01:32 PM
Mountain Ranch & Valley Springs, CA...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 Full Sized Versions...

San Andreas, CA... Meet Shermie, a spunky terrier mix estimated to be about ten years old. A confident and affectionate dog, Shermie bonds easily with staff and volunteers. He very much enjoys being petted and handled, has nice leash manners and will sit patiently for treats. Though older, Shermie still has a lot of giddy up in his go and would make a wonderful walking companion. Shermie playfully interacted with other shelter dogs; still, a “meet and great” will be required if you have another dog at home. He is also quiet in his kennel and may be housebroken since he keeps his area clean.
