“At first I couldn't find the place because everyone on Maui calls it White Cap but it also goes by HD Supply. Which is what the sign outside says. I came looking for a husqvarna demo saw. The lady at the desk was so helpful and friendly! She told me there was a deal going on right now but they were out of the husq.760 demo saw but was going to see if they could do it with the new 770 saws. She brought back a man who must have been the manager. He was so cool and said they could make it happen! So for the price of the 770 demo saw I also got a free 14" blade, bostch bull dog and a drilling dust attachment for free! That's a $240 save right there!! This place has everything you need for construction. It's like a candy store in there for my husband. Workers are very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend you check them out for all your construction needs!”
“If you need any HVACR supplies this is the place to go. What you need they get got it! It's a one stop shop the leading HVACR equipment parts and supplies. The employees are super helpful and efficient!”
“The staff here is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. As soon as we stepped into the store, we were asked if we needed any help. The shelves are neat and clean with a wide range of products. We plan to go back in the future.”
“They were super helpful even though they didn't have what we were looking for. We were looking for a soil tiller. But the staff / owner was really nice to chat with and he sent us to a place that was able to help us in our search! If you need anything for power tools this is a great local place to go. We will be back when that time.comes”
“BEST STAFF!! ? They are so knowledgeable, but they don’t talk down to you. They don’t try to upsell you. Just say what you need and they direct you to it and inform you of what your best options are. Very evident that they actually care. MAHALO NUI DEL’S ??”
“So the shower valve broke at my 89 year old tutu's house to where you could not shut the water off. There was no shutoff valve in the water line going to the shower, so we had to turn off the water to the whole house to avoid wasting gallons.Went to Ferguson and as I had expected the valve was 30+ years old, not stocked on Maui and would have to be special ordered. Figured as much. So I asked what I could do to just cap off the supply lines to the shower in the meantime while waiting for the part to come in, so we could at least turn the water back on to the rest of the house.The employee at Ferguson sold me "shark bite" cap fittings and a pipe cutter, and explained in detail how to install them. Back at the house, about 10 minutes of work and I had the lines capped off and was able to turn our water back on! ?I really appreciated the patient service with aloha during a stressful situation. They treated me as a valued customer even though they mostly deal with big commercial sales and I was just a clueless DIY'er buying $25 worth of items. What a great experience. Mahalos guys, I will recommend you to anyone I know of needing plumbing supplies! ???”
“I love the people who work at Air Gas, they are always professional and kind; super helpful. I DO wish that they would update their hours though; during the Covid-19 I think it's important for all businesses to keep up with posting their hours correctly. To assume that "we will all understand". I drove down to Kahului from Keokea because the listed hours said they were open (I called to check and the phone just rang..., they must have been busy- how wonderful for them, that's great, especially in these times!)- and then I got there and "CLOSED". WHOA! I just wasted 2 hours, - that is very much a bummer and unprofessional of them. I think it's probably pretty easy to edit the posted hours for the company, you know, just to also help the others that are living in the Covid-19 world? Just a thought. So, they are NOT open till 4 pm, M-F, AND they are not open on Saturday - the only day I can come because I am working and I am an "essential" worker. I wish businesses would be even MORE selfish about their success and help themselves by being kind, accurate, and proactive for all!”
“What can I say. I just love Home Depot. I like that I can order plants from Florida to Hawaii and have them brought in by Home Depot without an extra fee. They just always seem to have what I need.”
“Had great customer service today by Kilan in the Garden Department. He saw that we had a cart of bricks, plants, ect and immediately came up to us and asked if we needed help loading our truck. He was very helpful and such a nice guy. Thanks again, Kilan.”
“My wife told me about her great experience with Jess from the Appliance department. He was very accommodating, kind, and helpful to her. He patiently answered all her questions and provided excellent customer service. What’s even more impressive is that he is still a trainee! Lowe’s is lucky to have someone like him. I believe he will be a great asset to the company. I look forward to meeting him when I return to the island.”
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.
