“This was my first time at this store and I can say that they have one of the most pleasant staff working there. They smiled and spoke to us the moment we walked in the door offering help with what we were looking for. I appreciate Do it Best stores for this reason. They are always friendly and polite... ready to help.”
“I stopped by to see if anyone could help troubleshoot my spreader. The nicest man was quick to help and discovered what needed to be done to get it spreading again. Very thankful for the super service!”
“I love the convenience of the “In the neighborhood “ location, their super deals, and the helpful staff! Be sure to get on their rewards program! With a $5.00 off coupon, I was able to buy a piece of glass for only $5.00 more than the most reasonable “ big box store, which is all the way across town (def not even close to MY neighborhood) AND the glass was ALSO CUT to fit for me! I didn’t have to Drive across town and back nor did I have to cut the glass! All for five dollars more! And the glass was ready for me in five minutes! Great customer service at the Maplecrest, Connelly’s DO IT BEST Store!”
“They always have what I need. If I don’t know what I need there’s someone there to talk me through things. I’ve been shopping at this Do It Best since it it was over at West State Plaza. This store is an anchor to my community.”
“I got some great advice and supplies for a painting project. The staff member went out of his was to get me set up correctly. This is why Do It Best is always my first stop whenever I'm working on a project.”
“I would like to sincerely thank Ace Hardware for the raffle prize I won. Every experience I’ve had there has been excellent. The customer service is truly outstanding friendly, professional, and attentive. The ladies working there are always helpful and polite, and they go out of their way to make sure customers are taken care of. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the quality of service they provide”
“Harbor Freight is one of those stores where you can walk in for one tool and leave with ideas for five future projects. One of the best examples for me was a Chicago Electric dual-action polisher I bought here back in 2020. I was learning the basics of paint polishing and detailing at the time, and this was an affordable way to get started without spending a lot on a higher-end machine right away. That tool helped me learn a skill I still use today. For someone getting started with basic detailing, project work, garage tools, or occasional home and vehicle maintenance, Harbor Freight can be a great place to begin. Not every tool needs to be top-of-the-line, especially when you are learning, experimenting, or trying to decide whether a project or hobby is worth investing more into later. Over time, I upgraded pads, changed the backing plate, maintained the tool, and kept learning. Years later, that same polisher still works as my backup machine, which says a lot for an affordable starter tool. That is what I appreciate about Harbor Freight. It gives people access to tools that make projects feel possible. Air compressors, hand tools, shop supplies, engines, polishers, storage, and all kinds of random project gear are easy to browse in one place. This location has been useful for me because it offers a wide range of tools and supplies at prices that make it easier to get started. It is a good stop for DIY projects, garage work, basic repairs, detailing supplies, and those “I might need this someday” tools that somehow end up in the cart. Overall, Harbor Freight is a fun and practical place to shop if you like working on things, learning new skills, or keeping useful tools around the house and garage.”
“Great place very !.!.!. knowledgeable very friendly. Don't let the size of the office / shop building fool you that place is pack packed .with good deals, they service and sell stihl .I bought a chainsaw from them and I am extremely happy with it...”
“Everyone was very friendly and answered all my questions I asked. They were willing to take time with me to get the right materials I needed. If anyone is looking for paint guns, car paint, detailing products and more I would go to this location. Very good customer service and I’d be glad to go back sooner or later.”
“From the moment I entered this business, I was greeted by such kind, helpful and friendly staff!! I had such a great experience being able to sit down with Tammy, and I look forward to being able to do it again real soon!!”
“Just had my car stereo upgraded. And thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable staff at D&B sales they walked me through my many options and helped me design an upgrade around my music preferences. They installed and dialed it all in so perfectly. I am blown away at how nice it sounds. Way better then my expectations. I can highly recommend D&B sales.”
“There’s no beating the great service I’ve received from Justin D. He has been completely knowledgeable about all the products I have ordered from him.”
“A Google of recipes for anyone with a appetite for culinarily complex dishes and foods that are easy on the stomach and environment that is suitable for the consumer cerebral needs”
“Spent months looking for a couch, and was recommended to check this place out. I walked out with a couch for $130 basically brand new. If you want great priced and quality furniture check this place out.”
“Trent of Central Supply was a great help to determine a warranty claim on a hot water heater when no other supply houses would help. They referred us to a great plumber and between them everything went very smoothly for us. They both know exactly how to handle a claim.”
“Jasmine in the paint department, went above and beyond in assisting me with color schemes on paint mixture. Highly recommend Menards and especially Jasmine in the paint department for assistance.”
“Very nice and clean store. Great employees always ready to help. I always discover something new and buy stuff not on my list. I love Menards and recommend for your household needs. They have everything for the home inside and outside.”
“Resetting their displays but everyone is very helpful in finding what I need. Resetting displays again, but mostly at night, and the staff is, still, very helpful in locating anything I am looking for.”
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.
