“They have an ok items. If you're looking for a do it yourself tools that are not professional grade, you're at the right place. Most of the tools are fairly ok”
“Athens best kept secret! Awesome selection at amazing prices! The ones running the store were super helpful and very knowledgeable. Don't let the appearance fool you. It may look dated but they have some of the latest products available. The selection is massive! Hard to find items were there in abundance! It reminds me of my home town hardware store, I've missed it so much and this place made me feel right at home. Can't wait to get back there for materials for my next project. I don't think I'll be going anywhere else any time soon!”
“I had the pleasure of being helped by Mr. Tyson today. The guy is extremely knowledgeable of his job and his customer service isn’t something you see much of nowadays. His rare courtesy is much appreciated and I’ll definitely be back to use this company when I’m in town!”
“The staff goes OVER and beyond to ensure that you are a satisfied customer. They are locally owned and operated, very personal, and their prices are very reasonable! I was very indecisive, however they were patient and more than willing to guarantee that my buying experience was pleasurable. Thank you so much for the awesome service”
“I would like to recognize Jarod, who was working as a cashier at Home Depot. He provided outstanding customer service by helping me sort out my items and taking the time to clearly explain the payment terms and options available. He was patient, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire transaction. His willingness to help made my shopping experience much easier and more enjoyable. Employees like Jarod are a great example of excellent customer service, and I truly appreciate his assistance.”
“Man I love Home Depot. I don't even know why. Usually when I go to a store I walk in get my stuff and leave. But I went to this Home Depot to get plants one time and I keep going back. The last time I went, I bought some pretty plants that were SUPER cheap and still thriving. On that same trip to this Home Depot, 2 different people complimented me in the store and then a lady asked me to reach something on a top shelf (i'm really tall) so I helped her and she was so happy. I have no idea what it is but every time I go to this Home Depot I am so happy. Here's a pic of my plants btw”
“I met John and Vicky about a year ago now and they have been fantastic to work with. If you're looking for a locally owned small business that provides fantastic customer care and does a phenomenal job at a reasonable price then you've found your company. These days, it's getting tougher and tougher to find reliable locally owned companies you can trust. JD's Kitchen and Bath is awesome!!”
“We went in late, but before closing, (about 30 minutes) to get some paint for my daughter and her friends to paint designated parking places for Seniors at my daughter’s school. Carrie was extremely helpful, professional, and thorough in explaining the paints and resources we needed.”
“They were $50+ less than the competitor I called for a 5lb bottle of O2. Wish I got the name of the guy at the counter. He was awesome. I've got a bad knee, and he brought the bottle to my car for me.”
“Thank you Lowe’s! Yall are awesome! I teach in the county and Lowe’s just donated all the supplies I needed for a project! What a wonderful business. Thank you for all of your support! So kind!”
“Everyone seems to only leave reviews on a negative experience! Very rarely on a job well done. I must leave a positive review with an overwhelming desire from an associate at East Athens GA location (store # 2204). I remember the associates name somehow. His name was Ronnie. I won't bore everyone with the details of our encounter other than stating a few facts. Ronnie was polite at our 1st interaction, willing to help without judgement, helpful, did an excellent job with cutting a piece of custom sized glass , small talk about colleges attended, packaged the glass securely and very safe to prevent getting cut accidentally. Overall a very pleasant shopping experience. I've gotten excellent service from this location on multiple visits. That's why store (2204) is my go to store on pool supplies, lawn and garden, appliances, home improvement, power tools, etc... Just wanted to give all the team at Store #2204 on a job well done! Keep up the excellent service!”
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.
