Sunshine Ace Hardware plans a two-day grand reopening for its remodeled San Carlos store on Nov. 21-22, 2026. The celebration will include a ribbon-cutting, store promotions, food samples, prize drawings and a bucket sale raising money for pediatric health care through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Sunshine Ace Hardware will celebrate the reopening of its remodeled San Carlos store with a two-day community event on Nov. 21 and 22, 2026, featuring a ribbon-cutting, promotions, giveaways and fundraising for children’s health care. The announcement was reported by Hardware Retailing on Nov. 2.
The celebration is scheduled to run across Saturday and Sunday, with activities including special store promotions, prize registrations, giveaways and fundraising opportunities. Customers can get free grilled specialty samples and beverages from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. The report says prize drawings will take place after the event ends on Sunday at 6 p.m.
A featured promotion is the store’s bucket sale: customers can receive 20% off nearly all items that fit in an event bucket with a $5 donation. Sunshine Ace says proceeds will benefit local pediatric health care programs and services through Golisano Children’s Hospital and Children’s Miracle Network. Buckets will be available near checkout, and customers are advised to ask store associates which items qualify for the discount.
Sunshine Ace Hardware president Michael Wynn said the store has served the community since 1999. He said the remodel is intended to improve the shopping experience and expand inventory while maintaining the service customers expect. The announcement does not specify the project’s cost, the scope of construction or the store’s operating arrangements during the work.
A Remodel With a Community Fundraiser
The reopening gives local customers a chance to see the store after its remodel and take part in a weekend event combining retail discounts with community activities. The bucket sale also links a promotional offer to fundraising for pediatric health care, with the stated beneficiary being Golisano Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network.
For shoppers, the practical details are the event dates, the limited hours for food samples and the donation required for the bucket discount. The offer applies to nearly all items that fit inside an event bucket, but the store says eligibility varies by item; customers will need to check the list with staff. The announcement does not state a fundraising target or estimate how much the event may raise.

San Carlos Store Since 1999
Sunshine Ace Hardware is presenting the event as a celebration of a completed remodel at a location it says has served San Carlos since 1999. The company’s announcement emphasizes expanded inventory and an improved shopping experience, but provides no detailed account of the work or a before-and-after comparison.
The event is also part of the retailer’s community-facing activity: the reopening weekend includes opportunities to register for prizes and take part in fundraising. The report identifies Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Golisano Children’s Hospital as the charitable connection for the bucket sale. It does not provide further information about how donations will be allocated among specific programs.
“Our San Carlos store has proudly served the community since 1999, and we’re excited to celebrate the completion of this remodel with our customers.”
