“Really can't say enough good things about this place. It's so important to have a good hardware store in your neighborhood, and having this just a few blocks away is amazing. The store is staffed exclusively with amazingly helpful staff who can answer any question you bring, and will take you right to the exact spot in the store you need. I've wandered in here with many different minor problems over the years and I've walked out with a solution every time. They're also incredible easy able returns, so if one of a few options might fix your issue, you can just buy them all and make a decision when you get home, then just pop back and return what you didn't need. It is easy to approach projects with confidence when I start here! It's also always worth it to pop over to the housewares side of the store - there's always something up there you end up needing and you can even grab some essentials from a local place instead of CVS up the street.”

It is clear that your team prioritizes both technical proficiency and client satisfaction.”

“I recently revisited after moving away a couple of years ago and had forgotten how much I love the Glover Park Ace. From the outside and when you first walk in, it looks like it's going to be small with limited products, but it's surprisingly large considering its location on Wisconsin. They've used every inch of the space to stock a wide selection of products while keeping it well organized and tidy. I do a lot of home maintenance and home improvement projects and the staff here are awesome - super friendly and always nearby and ready to help.”
“Lance, the associate who assisted me with a major purchase (for me) of an EGO lawn mower, did a fantastic job and went over the top. He showed me what was available, helped me measure to see if it would fit in my car, helped me fulfill the online order made in shop quickly, and helped me move items in my car to get the box to fit. He also was pleasantly conversational. Thanks to his service I returned to the same location to purchase the EGO trimmer and blower combo.”

“A hardware store like they used to be! You can get pretty much anything you need here. They also have a plant shop attached. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, I have always had positive experiences and left with everything I needed (and then some ?). This place is a DC classic and I highly recommend it for household needs.”
“A commonly broken piece from my HOOVER vacuum broke, I called Hoover to purchase a replacement but they said because I was passed the 5 year warranty they would not replace my vacuum and didn’t make the piece to purchase separately. I brought it in the this store and they replaced the hose because luckily he had the same make/model in his basement. Got my vacuum back in a week and is working perfectly!”
“The best! Always has the random tool or hardware I need last minute in a panic. Plus key copies and paint! Essential to the neighborhood. Staff is always helpful and friendly”
“Dealt with them for sometime nearly every day for sometime ordering speciality plumbing parts. Old and new. Not a part they cannot identify if you can't and there lead times are always correct. Best in the business.”
“They are always helpful and very professional and knowledgeable about the different professions. It's far better than sitting in Harry Homeowner/ Home Depot for two hours to get a box of screws lol !”
“The is a fantastic place to donate no longer used household items. They do an amazing job refurbishing them and selling them to the public at a very low price. This gives everyone in the community a wonderful opportunity to upgrade their homes.”

“I love this place! While I hate having the good folks who work here slave over my frequent piddling requests for a matching bolt or two (anyone recall the search for a metric equivalent to a #1 that was 2mm in length?) I always buy my bulk nut and bolt purchases here to compensate. THANK YOU!”
“Amazing customer service and the pricing was fair. Had an another locksmith charge me over $100 more than her price and couldn’t even program the key properly. Will always recommend this store for all my tools and key needs.”
“Their customer service is sterling! I had a problem with a faucet (that I purchased elsewhere) and Weaver's representative contacted the manufacturer, identified the part number, and ordered a replacement part even though the warranty had expired. Wow -- Thank you, Candace!”
“Better than the others. Won’t say Names ?♂️. Price way better than anywhere Else. Great Customer Service. Where they know you. By name. Recommend to ALL!!?”
“I went to the Silver Spring under a week ago. I had to fix my scooter. This young man by the name of Maya was so informative, kind, oatie I and most of all very professional. He even went out of his way to physically help with my scooter. I am definitely coming back to this location and recommending that others should visit this store as well. Thank you again Maya, for all of your help!”
“This place is unique. I love hardware stores, and this is THE hardware store for the neighborhood. Go visit. They have something you need, you just don't know it yet.”
“We’re a local event planning and décor company in the DMV area, and we’ve been using Airgas in Hyattsville as our trusted helium supplier for all of our balloon installations and event projects. This store is absolutely professional — the entire team is reliable, efficient, and always so pleasant to work with. A special thank-you to Bernie, who consistently provides outstanding customer service. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly for our orders. As a small business, it means a lot to have a dependable local partner like Airgas Hyattsville. Their professionalism and responsiveness make every experience easy and worry-free. Highly recommend this location — and especially Bernie at the Hyattsville Store — to anyone looking for exceptional service and reliability! — Dasha | DANA Events Event Planning & Luxury Balloon Décor | Washington DC • Maryland • Virginia”
“Was in a pinch and needed snow shovels and pet safe ice melt - none of the larger stores in the area have any in stock. I called Ace and the gentleman I spoke with was kind and helpful. I drove right over and the store was clean, organized, and well staffed with friendly people. Picked up 2 snow shovels and the ice melt for $47! A steal compared to larger chain stores that carry poor quality products. Will definitely be back! Thanks Ace Hardware Germantown!”
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.
