“I was in the store recently trying to replace the power supply for an ancient Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth speaker. The combination of the two gentlemen behind the counter patiently worked through the assembly of a kit of components that filled the bill perfectly at a reasonable price. Thanks to both of them. Very knowledgeable staff combined with a good inventory equals a very satisfied customer. I shall return!”
“I needed a replacement fan motor unit for my bathroom vent. I discovered that AMRE supply carried these types of parts. I brought in the old part to the SE Calgary location and David M helped me find the correct replacement for it and ordered it from Edmonton to be shipped to Calgary. It arrived the very next day and I was able to pick it up and install it. It fit perfectly and works great. It was an upgrade from the original with lower sones and higher CFM. I was extremely satisfied with the friendly and efficient service and highly recommend this company.”

“I can't say enough good things about Tammie at Crowfoot Benjamin Moore! From the moment I walked in, she went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for helping customers made the entire experience exceptional. Tammie took the time to answer all of my questions, offered expert advice, and helped me choose the perfect products for my project without ever making me feel rushed. It's rare to find someone who truly cares about their customers the way she does. Outstanding customer service like this deserves to be recognized.

She is an absolute asset to the team, and I'll definitely be back because of the incredible service she provided. Thank you, Tammie, for making my experience such a positive one!”

“I found Banbury Lane through user reviews and while looking for local Canadian design and hardware companies. I ordered Top Knobs pulls and knobs online from BC through Banbury Lane, for two projects in my home. The hardware was delivered within a timely fashion and the pieces are STUNNING. Banbury has wonderful customer service; both through correspondence regarding the orders I placed and for replacement of a few items that had manufacturing defects. Thanks so much for your wonderful products and customer service; I look forward to purchasing from Banbury Lane in the future.”
“Man, what service! The guys here are awesome and will do their best to find the hardware you need. Came in today at lunch and I wish I had gotten the name of the fellow that had helped me out, but he was the best!”
“I moved into a small space that required a big renovation. With a fast shrinking budget, I was torn between doing things cheap and doing them right. Tyler inspected my tiny bathroom and explained what could be done and I went all in. The wait was hard - they are very busy and were booking 2 months in advance. However, I am so glad I trusted my gut and went with Contemporary. Now that it's done, it was worth the wait. The team was amazing, from demo to final details. The designer helped us choose all of the elements and I'm thrilled with how everything came together. Floor, tile, paint, new cabinets - soaker tub!! The Project Mgr kept me fully informed and any questions I had were answered same day. The bathroom is still tiny, but now feels luxurious. I absolutely love it!”
“All staffs have been exceptionally genuine, kind hearted with assistance provided. I have unfortunately encountered damaged lever mechanisms on my Emtek door entry assemblies. Italyca had the ability to efficiently conducting repairs immediately for a reasonable cost rather than as suggested by other companies replacement as the sole approach rectifying the issue. I am tremendously grateful and thankful discovering such a gem for door repairs in our city.”
“Jody and his team have been great to deal with. We recently have opened a new gym in the area and have used several of their services. Always on time, reasonably priced and progressional! Highly recommend!”

“Excellent service! I came to their shop late on a Friday afternoon (bad timing) looking to replace the power cord on my older circular saw, the staff member was very helpful in searching online for the commensurate part, and even took it upon herself to replace the cord on my behalf despite it being closing time! I certainly wasn’t expecting such service for an old piece of equipment, well done!”

“They have what you need. Staff helpful enough, usually not the friendliest. Might be one of those formed into their cold shells from years of deal with a lot of uninformed people.”

“Outstanding Appliance Parts Store – Reliable, Fast, and Knowledgeable I had an excellent experience with this appliance parts store. Their staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find exactly the part I needed without any hassle. The inventory was impressive—parts that I struggled to locate elsewhere were in stock and ready to go. What really stood out was their customer service. They took the time to answer my questions, double-checked compatibility, and made sure I left confident that I had the right item. Prices were fair, and the turnaround time was fast. Thanks to them, my appliance was back up and running in no time. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for dependable appliance parts and great service! Thank you Robert, Lori, and Danny!”
“This is why the Tuscany Home Depot location remains the best one to shop at! Every time we visit, the staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. A special shoutout to Dan and Zach for going above and beyond. We needed some wood cut and also had a special order that we hoped could be delivered the very next day. They both took the time to help us, made the process easy, and ensured everything was taken care of. Their outstanding customer service made what could have been a stressful project run smoothly. Thank you, Dan and Zach, for the excellent service! This level of customer care is exactly why we'll keep coming back to the Nose Hill location.”
“Thank you for your help, Sharon. Very attentive and carefully listened to my question. I got a fast and accurate advice and she has also kindly shown me where to pick up the items, even though it was out of her way. Again, thank you, Sharon.”
“Okay, so why was this business not on Yelp? It has pretty much everything you'd get at a regular Rona, with a notably large lumber yard out back. Never too busy so the service is good. Better fine grain category signage than Home Depot for sure, so you won't miss the drill bits between the saw blades and battery packs. Most importantly though, there is always FREE POPCORN (self serve), a hold over from when this was a Totem.”
“Called after hours on a Sunday for an odd ball Grundfos pump no one had in Red Deer, they are very fair on price, there is a $150.00 call out charge that is a bargain in my opinion. This company is an essential service especially on a -20 winter day when a boiler pump decides to go. Thanks Woseley.”
“I phoned as I had a cartridge in my Tenzo wand fail (this was after 5 years!) and they immediately replaced it no questions asked. I really appreciated the customer support on this one. Mody Pollard is the individual that helped me, thank you!”

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.
