We are fortunate to be a small business that has existed here for a long, long time. We sometimes take it for granted that people just "know" where we are, and we really don't do any advertising. Aside from the Xanthous Pages & this clever and riveting FB page, of course. (ha!)

Arivaca Sonz Hardware doesn't have that longevity advantage yet. We need y'all to spread the word to everyone you know that there's a legitimate hardware store here in little Arivaca! Try them BEFORE you go to town, if you can.

We look forward to future advertising opportunities within Arivaca itself (did you know the Friends of the Arivaca Schoolhouse & Historic Townsite is starting a local radio station?!), but until we can widen our audience, please help us get the word out there!

*If you are visiting Arivaca this weekend for the Music Festival and you have never visited the Hardware store before, please take a few minutes to pop in and say hello! You will drive right past it on your way to the Schoolhouse.

*If you are local and haven't needed anything hardware-y in a while, please pop in and say hello! You may be surprised by how things have changed since you last visited.

*If you have a contractor, repair person, or handyman working at your home, please mention the Hardware store to them if they are from out-of-town... it may save them a trip and YOU money!

*Share this post and others! It's the easiest (and free) way to support your favorite businesses.

Thanks to all who continually support the local businesses in Arivaca, including the new owner of La Gitana Cantina - we wish them the best of luck. Small businesses make Arivaca, Arizona, and America amazing!

P.S. If you haven't, please LIKE and FOLLOW us on Facebook! We'd hate for you to miss out on these vastly informational posts 😆

If you haven’t been in lately, you HAVE to see our new and improved HABA section - from cold and flu, to vitamins, to medical supplies, to travel-size and “handy” quick grabs, to locally curated health lotions and sprays, we have greatly expanded our health and beauty aisle products. We will work on filling the last few open spaces with name brands and the like.

Please, if you lost hope in our dwindling selection before, come back and give us a chance again! Damon, Conchita, and the team have worked very hard to get these new shelves up, organized, and filled.

Come check out what we have!

For some time now, we have been toying with the idea of somehow creating a physical barrier between the retail floor and our backstock area; so many customers end up back there thinking it’s part of the sales floor, despite the signs we hung.

Steve Miller, Damon’s father-in-law, created an awesome saloon-style door for us! He based the bull on the “Arivaca Stop Sign” shirt we inherited from the previous Merc owners, and it looks fantastic. It should definitely catch the eye and keep people from wandering to the back.

Thanks, Steve! We appreciate you! ❤️

!LOCAL LOCAL LOCAL!

We are pretty big proponents of shopping local (duh) and supporting local artisans. Let me share what we have in stock today:

We carry homemade soaps from Sheila as well as Goat Milk Soap from Whorled Leaf Nursery.

We have two different local catclaw honeys in stock right now.

We always have locally roasted Gadsden coffee on hand, whole beans and ground, in a variety of kinds.

Lonesome Oak Sanctuary supplies us with local eggs when the chickens cooperate.

Of course we sell Arivaca T-Shirts, the proceeds of which go back to the Community Center.

And NEW at the Merc is the salves and sprays from Our Healing Greenhouse, all locally crafted in Arivaca!

We hope you will check out these local offerings, to help support the people that live, create, & craft here and who make Arivaca the amazing place it is.

Our existing stock of HABA (health and beauty aisle) items are going up today, and we are super excited to see what space we have to bring in new stuff! This section and the spices are the two areas that have always frustrated us, knowing they could be better but being limited on layout. Finally we have the proper shelving up to make it great!

The spice and seasoning section has always been our arch nemesis. It’s starting to come together now!

Over the weekend, please ask an employee if you need something from the health/beauty section - they will get it for you out of the back. We won’t get to putting those products back up until Monday or Tuesday.

THANK YOU to Lucas Miller who came this morning and fixed our hose 😊 You’re awesome!

Excuse the mess today as we start putting up some new shelves!

And a special thank-you to whomever decided they needed the end of our brand new water hose and cut it off. That will make cleaning these shelves super easy…. I think we are done replacing this hose; we try to provide nice things for everyone to use but unfortunately we sometimes have to draw a line.

Anyway, pardon our mess inside today!

Merry Christmas!We are open from 11-1 today!

Never fret, we are open normal hours today!

Today’s the day to fill up on propane or cash your check, as tomorrow we won’t do those things, ah heck.

So don your robes, your slippers, or chaps, and come on down to the Merc for a merry Christmas perhaps.

Don’t be a Grinch, don’t be a Scrooge, bring something yummy to your party, or maybe some booze.

So Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah or whatever you say, we hope you have a Merry Day today!

Update: 12:00 noon - Issues appear to be resolved, but like a monsoon rain, the internet sometimes just does whatever it wants. Ha! If you call the store and can't get through, please FB message us and we will try to get back to you ASAP.

We are experiencing some internet / phone / credit card processing issues today, good folks. Just FYI. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, but just wanted to give a heads-up if you are trying to contact the office to no avail.
