Center Chamber of Commerce officials joined those from Ace Hardware to usher in the opening of the new Ace Rental Place on Loop 500 just off Highway 96 South. 

Sales Manager  James Reagan says rentals are not the only service offered.  "We also have our service on small engine repair.  We also serve the oil and gas industry.  We work on all the solar power chemical  injection pumps.  We have a vast selection of pressure guages and tube-fittings. You name it !  We even fill propane bottles for RVs, fork lifts...you name it !"

"We got backhoes, trenchers, bobcats, ...everything is all new here," he said.

Today's events consisted of a ribbon-cutting and customer appreciation  open house for the public.
