Ruggiero’s Ace Hardware

Ruggiero’s Ace Hardware — Queen Creek, AZ

Cars and coffee car show in Queen Creek — Ruggiero’s Ace Hardware hosts The Car Meat, a local community meet and after-party car show held on second Saturdays (September–May). Ruggiero’s Ace Hardware started in the mid-1970s when WWII veteran Alphonse Ruggiero opened an Ace store in the Phoenix area. A few years later, his sons Martin and Art grew the family business across the West. Today, Josh and Austin Ruggiero continue that legacy with genuinely helpful service and a curated mix of hard-to-find products.

At the Queen Creek Feed Store, Ruggiero’s presents The Car Meat, a cars and coffee car show in Queen Creek. It runs the second Saturday, 9:30 AM–12:00 PM, September–May. Enthusiasts show their rides, swap stories, and enjoy complimentary fresh-grilled eats in a family-forward atmosphere. On the same morning there are two cars and coffee in Queen Creek: begin at Queen Creek Cars and Coffee at Rockpoint Church (7:00–10:00 AM)—a separate event by different organizers—then roll less than a mile to Ruggiero’s for The Car Meat after-party (9:30 AM–12:00 PM). Store hours for the Queen Creek Feed Store are Mon–Sat 7:00 AM–8:00 PM; Sun 8:00 AM–6:00 PM.
