“I hired a painter to paint our home in Orange Beach and after seven days, they had only painted 1/2 of a very small home and kept dragging it along. I contacted Orange Beach hardware, after noticing their sign that they paint homes now, and they stepped in and bailed me out. They showed up on the day I called to look the job over, gave me a start date, and unlike the former painter- showed up exactly on the date/time promised. They knocked the job out in 3-4 days and did a great job while doing it. They showed me the paint grade my former painter had used wasn't all that great, got me on a paint grade I needed, and I am very happy with the final results. They really took a lot of pride and care getting it done, and even did any touch ups I detected when done during my "walk around". I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them not only for paint, but for hardware products in general too. As a store customer you can always find someone to help if needed. There is no looking around for missing employees (like in the big box stores) to try and get help- they are there. Great staff, great owners, great painters, and in general great everything! Call them for you next home paint job needed in OBA or the Gulf areas- they are the best!”
“Ace Hardware Orange Beach is the best. Has been ever since they opened. They absolutely bend over backwards to help with anything you need. Love this place and all the Guys And Ladies that work there. I don't think I could survive living here without em!!!”
Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors. The home improvement retailer has changed its MVPs Pro Rewards & Partnership Program into the new MyLowe's Pro Rewards. The updated program aims to make life easier for professionals while offering more benefits from their first purchase.
Ace Hardware is reimagining itself with a new store concept. The home improvement retailer plans to invest over $1 billion in the next five years to roll out "Elevate Ace" across new and existing locations. The revamped stores will feature brand showrooms, expanded product lines, and enhanced customer service. Some locations will even boast outdoor spaces with live plant displays. Ace gave retailers a sneak peek at the concept during its recent Chicago convention. While a few stores will debut the new look later this year, the full rollout begins in January.
Ace Hardware is hammering out an impressive growth story. The retailer-owned cooperative is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a bang, reaching 5,000 U.S. stores and planning to open 200 new locations in 2024. The company hit a milestone when it opened its 100th new store this year in Henderson, Nevada. Another newcomer, Fixit Ace Hardware in Roswell, Georgia, became the 5,000th domestic Ace store.
In the latest move of its growth plan, leading paint maker Dunn-Edwards just opened 17 new retail locations throughout Northern California. This expansion of physical stores boosts the company's footprint in the region by over 50%.
The expansion caps an exciting time for the nearly 100-year-old company. With its 100th anniversary in 2025, Dunn-Edwards is strengthening its market position through planned growth focused on better serving pros, homeowners and employees.
