Ace Hardware, occupying 13,000 square feet in
Beaverton’s newest private development, Progress
Ridge TownSquare, will host three days of in-store
activities Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The store, located at 14805 S.W. Barrows Road, is
adjacent to the New Seasons Market.
“We wanted to open up with a splash,” says Terry Cain,
owner of the Progress Ridge Ace Hardware. “We see
ourselves as being very much of an anchor in our local
community, so we want to invite people in to meet us and
to enjoy themselves.”
Friday and Saturday activities begin at 8 a.m. and
continue through 5 p.m. Sunday activities run from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Free coffee and doughnuts will be available each
morning.
