Priest River Ace Hardware owners Roger and Annie Gregory and their family held the celebration to mark the store’s 50th year of business.
The store got its start as Buck’s Hardware in downtown Priest River, being purchased by the Gregories in 1968. After five years, Priest River Ace Hardware moved to the property on Highway 2 where they still are today. Now associated with the ACE Hardware chain, the hardware store has grown from its original 9,500 square feet to more than double that as the result of three expansions.
