Ace Hardware has returned to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, as the official Yard Care Sponsor of Groundhog Day. The brand first joined the celebration in 2025 with the launch of Ace YardRx.
“Groundhog Day is really about looking forward and building momentum, no matter what the forecast brings,” says Kim Lefko, chief marketing officer at Ace Hardware. “Ace YardRx gives people a simple plan and confidence heading into the season, with advice and products they can trust from their local Ace.”
Ace YardRx delivers customized yard care product bundles to customers’ homes based on location, yard size, grass type and application preference. This year, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter.
