“Exceptional Experience with JC Licht – From Design to Installation! I had an exceptional experience working with JC Licht for my new window treatments, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process from start to finish. Everyone I worked with was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure everything went smoothly. A special thank you to Emily B., my consultant, who was wonderful to work with. She took the time to truly understand the look and feel I was trying to achieve in my condo and was able to capture my vision perfectly. Her expertise, attention to detail, and ability to listen to what I wanted made the design process easy and enjoyable. The finished window treatments look beautiful and are exactly what I was hoping for. I also want to recognize Lisa in the main office, who went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. I needed several documents for my HOA, and Lisa was incredibly gracious and helpful in making sure I received everything I needed. She even went out to the loading dock herself to locate my window treatments and let me know how much each box weighed—such a thoughtful extra step that was very much appreciated! Lisa also called to remind me about Rob’s upcoming installation and made sure all of my questions were answered. Her communication and customer service were outstanding. And Rob, the installer, was fantastic. He was professional, efficient, and meticulous. He carefully took the measurements, removed my existing window treatments, and installed the new ones without any issues. The work was completed fairly quickly, everything was done properly, and he left absolutely no mess behind. It is rare to have such a consistently positive experience with every person involved in a project. Emily, Lisa, and Rob each played an important role in making this experience exceptional. Their professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. I am extremely pleased with my new window treatments and would highly recommend JC Licht to anyone looking for beautiful window treatments and outstanding customer service. Five stars all around!”

“King’s Hardware is a true neighborhood gem. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find exactly what you need. The store may not be huge, but it’s well stocked and organized. I appreciate the personal service you just don’t get at big chain stores.”
“The employees are ALL TOP NOTCH, and friendly. Immediately available to help when walking in the door. They offer good advice when asked. Recently, Kathleen went out of her way when I came in requesting a large box for personal shipping purposes. She said to come back the next day. A lawnmower was unboxed to provide the box I needed. She could have just said they didn't have a box, however, made the extra effort to please a customer. Very impressive. Greg H.”

“Here's what I love about Shauer's Hardware: Everything. From the cast hammer door-pull to the wooden floors, to the back counter where they make keys, it's delightful. They almost always have what I need. The best part is the people who work there. They'll help you find whatever you came in for. They'll help you figure out what you need to get a project done. They're kind and courteous and know their stuff. They've never been patronizing to me (a female DYIer). You don't have to wander around looking for someone to help–THEY find YOU. I always leave there with a smile on my face and my faith in humanity intact. I love this place so much.”
“The customer service at the Evergreen Park location is exceptional. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. But the service makes spending a little extra worth it.”
“I ordered online and order was ready in less than 30 minutes. I arrived to store same day, was greeted lightly at entry but once I made it to pick up counter in back, it was comically inviting with Ken and another associate who was clocking out. I was able to get in on the joke a little but it was cute. Ken was great and helpful with immediately getting my order and confirming, once done he came out and said he would commute it to my car for me. I had questions about other salts and he was very helpful and friendly. Store is clean. Very quite well organized. Highly recommend”

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.
