“We went to this Ace for the first time today. As soon as we came in an associate greeted us and asked if we needed help. Every worker that we encountered was super friendly, and willing to help. I was amazed at how much inventory this Ace Hardware has! I will no longer be going to the big box store, Temple Ace Hardware is our new favorite place!”
“This is a friendly place! Every time I go in they say hi and ask if they can help. They mean it. Helped me numerous times. Most of their stuff is as cheap as Home Depot. Good selection of every thing. A small town business where customer service is the most important thing. Thanks to everyone who works here!”
“Went in looking for a replacement bolt and washer, was nearly instantly helped and they did all the work finding the exact replacement, while doing so others passed by thanking them for the same amount of help and care in finding exactly what they needed as well.”
“Top notch customer service. They take care of their customers and have very fair prices. Keep in mind if you need to refill a tank, it is their other location in Carrollton about 3 minutes down the street.”
“I usually visit the Carrollton store, but I was closer to this location and decided to go in with my mom to grab a hose for her washer and dryer. Mr. Russell assisted use and helped my mom locate what she needed he also gave her a few pointers on what to do which was very kind of him to do. I thanked him for helping us and he also asked if there was anything else he could help us with. He was very kind throughout the whole trip. Also, when we checked out, Philip was very helpful because we used a self check out. He also assisted us in purchasing the hose and I found a cute little sink plunger that didn’t have a tag on it and he was very helpful and looking up the price for me and also checking me out at self checkout as well. This was a very nice visit to this Home Depot. I recommend if you’re in the Villa Rica area.”
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.
