“The workers who installed our new storm door were great. Friendly, knew what they were doing. Gave me instructions on how to get the sliding window to function. Home Depot did initially deliver an incorrectly sized door and an incorrect handle. However, the installation guys immediately returned to Home Depot and got the correct items and installed them in less than an hour. I'm really happy with the process. Their installation services are reasonably priced and have already saved me twice from having to find a contractor or handyman to do the work.”

“Menard's is a home improvement store that is larger than you prepared for, every single time, despite having been to Menard's before. You enter through doors that part for you automatically, as if the store has been expecting you, which in a revenue-based sense it has. The cart you select rattles in a specific way that is unique to your cart and yet familiar to all Menard's carts, as though they share a common rattling ancestry. The store continues in every direction for what can only be described as a while. Lumber is somewhere. Plumbing is somewhere else. The relationship between these two locations involves walking, and the walking is significant. Signs hang from the ceiling indicating departments, and you look at them and nod and then proceed to get lost anyway in a way that feels predetermined. Items are available in quantities that suggest Menard's has considered the possibility that you might need more than one of something, and has acted on this consideration aggressively. The savings, which are big and money-adjacent, are communicated through yellow signage that appears throughout the store at a frequency that can only be described as committed. A lumber yard exists outside and requires a separate trip that you did not originally plan for but have now accepted as part of the process. You accept it the way one accepts weather. An employee was visible at one point near an aisle that was not the aisle you needed. This was no one's fault. You will leave with things you came for and several things you did not come for, and the total will be a number.”
Lowe's is giving its loyalty program a makeover to better serve small and mid-sized professional contractors.

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.
