“We just used Taylor Rental for my daughter’s wedding in June and could not have been any more pleased! Sam came out to give us assurances on tent size and location. That was very helpful. We decided to use a nice large size tent which was a good decision. The tent looked aesthetically impactful and it gave us plenty of space for a large dance floor and for people to move about underneath as well as the other vendors and a few other special tables. Traci was very accommodating on helping me with some of my particular requests. We decided to use the wooden farm tables. Let me tell you, after everyone saying how beautiful the bride looked, the next comments were how much they liked the farm tables. I kid you not! They were the perfect detail touch to our rustic backyard wedding. We can’t say enough about our positive experience. We are grateful we hired them! Thank you!!”
“This is one of the few Ego mower authorized repair centers in the area. Excellent service at reasonable prices. If you need an Ego device repaired, this is the place to go to.”
“I love this place, they have so much of what I need and if they don’t, they will tell you where to get it. Best of all, they treat everyone like a local.”
“Many reasons to shop here! I used to not like the hardware store that Rings End is now in. The service was meh on a good day, now that Rings End is here it’s totally different! I’m a contractor and I went in to purchase epoxy floor coating for a clients garage. I was met with a helpful smile by Mike at the paint counter. He got me information on the product and helped me make an educated decision. I ended up ordering 4 gallons of the epoxy, roughly $500 worth. Mike expedited the process and got the order to come in the next day! There was a minor problem with the order and Mike took time out of his day to resolve the issue. Everyone I’ve met with at the Madison Rings End has been professional, well versed in products, and incredibly friendly and kind. I’ve found my new favorite spot to get supplies when I’m shopping for clients. Thanks Mike and thanks Ring’s End, I’ll be back soon!”
“We love Ace Hardware. When we were renovating our family home on Cape Cod in Eastham, it was a blessing to have an Ace Hardware store right in town. Who wants to drive in traffic to a big box store in traffic in the middle of the summer on the Cape?? Not me. We went to the local Ace Harware store sometimes daily for a period of almost three years. It was so convenient and staff got to know us. They would often recommend products and easier ways of doing projects for the renovation!! The home turned out perfect and we were completely satisfied with products that we purchased from them. Their help with suggesting products and ways to complete our renovation was unmatched by any other store.”
“Jessica and staff are amazing. I’ve had several projects (foundation for playscape, water system needs, gardening, etc.) and they have been so helpful in obtaining needed equipment and troubleshooting issues. I would absolutely recommend this hardware store to anyone!”
“Very clean, well organized store. The staff is extremely helpful and knows their products and where they are , when we checked out. They were extremely friendly, and the young guy who helped us gave my dog a biscuit. That writes him a five and a reason to return to the store for that alone. If you are the owner of this establishment, you should be very proud of your help. Particularly young guy at the register today.”
“You don't have to be an electrician or a contractor to shop here, it's open to everyone. It's more convenient than the big box stores and the staff are helpful. It is a bit confusing at first, so plan on asking for help.”
“My wife and I had a great experience at Killingworth True Value over Memorial Day Weekend. The staff was friendly and very helpful, and it's probably the nicest hardware store we've ever been in. Special thanks to Grace, who worked with the small paint sample we brought in until she got the color matched.”
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.
