“I was very impressed by the customer service provided by Angel. She took the time to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for and was very friendly and personable. She is quite knowledgeable of the merchandise and it is clear to see that she takes pride in assisting with the customers' needs. Thank you, Angel, if I could give you more than 5 stars, I would.”
“Back in the mid 80s when I was in high school 501 Levi jeans were very popular and Miller's Outpost in the Valley Plaza Mall was the place everybody went to get them. They were expensive there but I had discovered that Floyd's sold the same jeans for quite a bit cheaper. These jeans had been around since 1873 and were nothing new and Miller's Outpost was banking on a trendy fad. Recently I needed some window screen hardware and needed it that day. Walmart wouldn't have it and Floyd's was very near where I live. I drive by Floyd's almost every day and I think about how long they have been in business, which is a testament to their solid business and reliable stock of infinite hardware for any kind of project. When I got to Floyd's, I was immediately greeted by an employee who knowledgeably directed me to the aisle I needed, which was in the very back of the store in the Screen and Glass dept. I marveled at all the plumbing hardware as well as the discount prices on various tools. But what I especially liked was the boots and clothing dept. I'm a grandma now and I saw the cutest hot pink plaid toddler cowgirl shirt and boots and jeans too! My granddaughter would look so cute wearing that. I just want to say I appreciate Floyd's and I hope my community continues supporting their business because Floyd's is the original DIY store and has been there for my community since 1952.”
“Great guys working inside. They were Ble to assist me with adding my front license plate frame. They went above and beyond. I totally appreciate their customer service”

“Today I bought a selection of plywood from Hardwoods in Bakersfield. Not being a woodworking professional, I wasn't sure what I wanted/needed for my projects. Someone on the staff took me around the warehouse recommending options at different price points. The Plywood I left with was higher quality, at lower costs, than anything I've gotten at the big chain lumber & building supplies stores. It was a really good experience. Hardwoods will be my go to place for Plywood, MDF, etc from now on.”
“Williams was a life saver for me! Took my hot water pw trailor in and basically handed them a mess. i had someone work on it b4 them and he screwed up all the wiring and a few parts were installed wrong. Dropped it off at Williams and they had it completely rewired replaced a few small parts that were giving me issues and had it all performing better than it ever has. Phil, Jeremy and the whole crew are very knowledgable and professional. I highly recomend Williams for any of your steam cleaning or pressure washing needs. Thanks again guys!”
“My local Ace in the mountains has had some limitations since new ownership so I went to Bakersfield. It was the reviews that inspired us to go to this location.

“4 days before Christmas (2023) we decided to paint the interior of our home. Melissa greeted us right away and offered her help. Little did she know we were hoping for a miracle to match our color from 2003 maybe 2005? She color matched it perfectly with a paint sample I literally peeled off my wall. She also told us about their loyalty program ( I think thats what it was called) to help save us some money. Melissa if you ever read this, thank you and Merry Christmas.”
“I really love this store! The workers are all very nice and I was able to take my monthly cat litter bill down to 16$ from almost 300$!! Can't complain about that!”
“Great company to work with. Always has Hormex Rooting Powder when I need it. Hopefully they pick up their liquid too as that stuff is like liquid gold for plants.”
“You lost a star today. Update your hours. If you say you will be open at 6am but nobody rolls in till about 720... then you guys shut down wayyyyy to early to be useful for a service plumber. Your hours need to expand to be able to reliably serve your customers. I doubt they will read this, but banker hours are not the same as plumbing needs.”

The attending employee checked my name and brought my order out, signed the packing slip and had me on my way in a flash!

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.
