Miner’s Ace Hardware celebrates 70 years on Central Coast
Paso Robles Daily News
September 17, 2026
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.

Paso RoblesLocal Scouting America troops to host open house Sept. 28
If you've got a kid between 11 and 17 who's been curious about scouting, mark your calendar for Sept. 28. Paso Robles Scouting America Troops 60 and 1602 are throwing open their doors and inviting both boys and girls to come see what it's all about — no pressure, no commitment, just a chance to meet the troop and ask questions. What I love about this is how much scouting has grown here on the Central Coast. Troop 1602 is one of the newer girl-inclusive troops, and it's a reminder that the outdoors, leadership skills, and that whole "learn by doing" spirit belong to everyone. In a town where we're lucky enough to have places like Lake Nacimiento and the Santa Lucia foothills practically in our backyard, getting kids outside and building confidence feels like a natural fit. Big thanks to the Paso Robles Daily News for getting the word out. If you know a family who's been on the fence, this open house is the perfect low-stakes way to check it out. See you there.
Paso RoblesLocal youth boxing program searches for new home
Impact Boxing Outreach has been a fixture in Paso Robles for eight years, giving local kids a free place to train, burn off energy, and find mentors who actually show up. Now the program is looking for a new home, and that's a big deal for the families who've come to count on it. In a town where youth sports and after-school options often come with a price tag, this program has been the rare free lifeline — no dues, no equipment costs, just a gym and people who care. Losing that space isn't just about boxing; it's about the routine, the discipline, and the relationships built inside those walls. If you know of an available space or can help, this is one of those moments where Paso Robles can show up for its own. Thanks to Paso Robles Daily News for keeping this on our radar.
