“After calling around town with no luck finding someone who could cut glass, I finally remembered Hagan Ace Hardware in East Palatka and gave them a call. The receptionist quickly transferred me to Patrick, who was amazingly helpful right from the start. He clearly explained what types of glass they could and couldn't cut, and assured me he could trim down the piece I had. When I arrived at the store, Patrick greeted me right away and got straight to work. He was careful, precise with my measurements, and wrapped the glass so securely—like something from Tiffany’s!—so there was zero risk of getting cut on the ride home. The price was extremely modest, and the customer service was top-notch. It’s so refreshing to visit a local business where employees genuinely enjoy helping you. Save yourself the hassle of running all over town and just come here first!”
“This place makes my day every time I go there. They always have what you need and the staff their are extremely friendly and very helpful. Not the usual rude treatment you get pretty must everywhere you go outside of Florida and Hastings. And there's usually some good conversation too as they usually ask what you are working on and show some interest in what you are doing. This place is definitely a Florida treasure.”
“We at Diyac Services find the Palatka Mobile Home Depot very knowledgeable and helpful although I occasionally have issues reaching them by phone.due to what seems to be their provider. Or maybe its me?”
“Great place great prices and very helpful salesman behind the desk. Went in to get 300 screws fine thread nuts and a drill bit and a piece of all thread. Could t beat the price of under $30 for all will be doing business with this place from now on. Better prices than home Depot or Lowe's and better service by far getting people who actually know what they are talking about and willing to help find the best product for me.”
“I have never been to a more helpful harbor freight, ever. The staff clearly enjoyed working together in an effective way. Nobody stood around waiting for something to happen. Everyone was proactive in offering help or simply saying hello! I had a return and needed something different while I was there, it was just as fast as simply checking out. I was so impressed with the whole thing I bought a 2 year inside track membership. I have high hopes for HF bc this seems to be a trend throughout most stores recently. No, I don't flipping work there. Im just someone who appreciates excellent examples of what customer service used to be everywhere and understands how rare it is in chains today. Keep up the great work staff! Thanks for the laughs! :)”

“Who doesn't just love Tractor supply ❗ Always something cool to find, unique gifts to give , a friendly staff and great snacks.....not to mention boots and clothing and pet food and knives and....... again...... This is just why everyone loves TSC.”
“David, in lumber, was great. He walked us through what we needed for our project, helped us load very large lumber onto the cart and then into our truck... And was just a pleasure to deal with overall. Thank you, David!”
“They have more things then most home Depot but when I said hello to a few of the employees they didn't say a word which is odd. Policey to not say hi back when someone is being friendly? They were women maybe they thought I was flirting lol nope don't flatter yourself come down off your high horse I was just saying hello . Odd people over there I spend over 100.00 each visit so be thankful customers are paying your paychecks and humble yourself”
“Really like to focus over at lowe's as well as the other big box home.Do it yourself restores lows ranks number one, however, because of the military discounts”
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.
