Sonora, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/07/2015 -- The Sonora Lumber Company, Tuolumne County's top source for lumber, hardware, tools, and more, announced the opening of the company's special Christmas store. Stocked with ornaments, decor, ready-to-go themed trees, wreaths, garlands, and other seasonal delights, the new Christmas store even includes an extensive artificial tree farm. In the Christmas Store Sonora California locals and visitors will find the area's best selection of everything needed to make the holiday more memorable, festive, and fun.

"Christmas is one of our favorite times of the year here at the Sonora Lumber Company," representative Mike Fullaway said, "We're therefore especially happy to announce that our popular Christmas store is now open for the season and ready to provide everything that holiday shoppers might want. As always, our lumberyard, paint and hardware departments remain open, as well."

Founded over ninety years ago, the nationwide Ace Hardware retailers' cooperative now includes over nearly 5,000 individual locations. The cooperative was originally established to help small retailers secure discounts on their purchases, a mission that helped the early members make it through the lean times of the Great Depression.

Since then, Ace Hardware has evolved in ways that have enabled it to become even more important to the national retail hardware industry. The cooperative now stands as far and away the largest of its kind in the United States and also one of the most expansive in the entire world, with each individual member putting its own spin on the basic formula.

Serving customers in Sonora and throughout Tuolumne County, the Sonora Lumber Company is an Ace Hardware member and the area's top source for lumber, hardware, tools, and many other items. Although Tuolumne is one of California's original counties, it remains relatively sparsely populated, lying, as it does, in the rugged Sierra Nevada. Sonora, in fact, is the only incorporated town in Tuolumne and also its county seat, serving as the central hub for people living throughout the surrounding area.

Because of this, the opening of the Sonora Lumber Company's annual Christmas store is an important and eagerly anticipated event. The store is stocked with a wide range of popular Christmas and holiday-season products, from decorations and artificial trees to themed dinnerware and other goods.

As the retail location transforms every year from a dependable, well-stocked Sonora Lumberyard and Ace Hardware location, people from many miles around enthusiastically seek out what the seasonal store has to offer.
