GRANTS, N.M. – Diamond G Home Center and Rental is preparing to celebrate a major milestone this week as the longtime Grants business marks 50 years of serving the community.
The store will hold its 50th anniversary celebration Saturday, July 11, with activities, giveaways and family- friendly fun planned throughout the day.
The celebration will include a chance to spin the prize wheel, enter drawings, take part in a bingo scavenger hunt and guess how many nuts and bolts are in a jar. Customers will also have a chance to enter to win larger prizes, including a grill or chainsaw.
Children are invited to take part in the celebration as well. Kids who received a Diamond G coloring page during the Fourth of July celebration can bring their finished page to the store to collect a prize. Coloring pages are also available at store registers for children to take home, complete and return for a prize while supplies last.
As part of the anniversary, Diamond G has also been highlighting pieces of its own history. One of the store’s original metal signs, made by Dr. Gilbert Gutierrez, was recently displayed as the business prepares for the celebration. According to Diamond G, the 10-foot metal sign hung from the roof for more than 40 years. The anniversary is not just a celebration of a business, but of a local institution that has been part of daily life in Grants for generations. From home repairs and rental equipment to garden supplies and hardware, Diamond G has remained one of those familiar hometown stops where residents know they can find what they need and often see someone they know.
The store’s anniversary message thanks the community “for 50 amazing years” while looking ahead to the next 50.
Diamond G is inviting residents to stop by, bring the kids, take part in the anniversary activities and help celebrate five decades of local service.
