Snow blower season: what and where to buy at participating Sweetwater County Ace Hardware stores this winter

9edited

Winter is fast approaching and many homeowners need to be prepared to dig themselves out from heavy snowfalls.

The newest snow blowers can be quick to sell out, especially battery-powered snow blowers. They have become increasingly popular as they are found to be comparable with gas snow blowers. Advantages listed included: starting instantly, being lighter, easier to handle, and running quieter than a gas model.

Participating Sweetwater County Ace Hardware stores have a wide selection of battery-powered snow blowers in stock this season.
