Miner’s Ace Hardware celebrates 70 years on Central Coast

Seventy years is a long time to keep the lights on, let alone keep a small-town hardware store thriving. Miner's Ace Hardware has been part of Paso Robles since the mid-1950s, back when the town looked a whole lot different — and that kind of staying power says something about the folks behind the counter and the neighbors who keep coming back.

If you've ever wandered those aisles hunting for the right bolt, a paint match, or advice from someone who actually knows what they're talking about, you get why this matters. Independent hardware stores are becoming rare, and losing one would sting. This anniversary isn't just a business milestone — it's a piece of Paso's character.

Paso Robles Daily News shared the news, and there's even a $10 coupon for readers. Stop in, say happy 70th, and grab whatever's on your fix-it list. Here's to many more.
