“I had an exceptional experience at Lowe’s in Clinton! The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they went out of their way to make sure I found what I needed. I was also impressed by the great selection of home appliances at affordable prices. It’s refreshing to receive such excellent customer service while finding quality products at a good value. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit such a positive experience. I’ll definitely be back!”
“the employees in this store are always willing to assist me when I ask. They have always stopped what they're doing to assist except when they're working with a customer and I'll wait or not. When I encountered staff who don't know what's in their store, if I find the product I find them and show them and tell them where it's located. most of the negative reviews I've read are due to poor management, training and oversight. The buck stops with the manager. Customer service staff are just bodies on duty.”
“I love going to the store. They have a lot of great things and the employees there are very excellent and customer service even when I can’t go upstairs someone comes down to help me to make sure I have the right thing I like to thank you👍🏽”
“Had a key made, plenty of parking, friendly key maker who went above and beyond, greeted when I walked in. Definitely coming back. Need more stores like this in our neighborhoods.”
“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.”
“This hardware store provides excellent service! They did a great job sharpening my kitchen knifes, making extra keys and replacing batteries for my transponders. They sell a wide variety of items. The sales people are very professional, nice and helpful.”
“I’ve known Jeff and his family for over 30 years while operating my Landscape company. They are always friendly pretty much an open door atmosphere and offer quality service at reasonable prices. If you need residential or commercial lawn tree or snow equipment, I recommend you go see him!”
“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!”

“I've been to this location a few times to make purchases. As a female, I knew what I was going in to get so no help was needed, but the associate that I had interactions with was very cool. He was there on each of my visits. We shared a laugh and kept it moving. Great customer service. Thanks Guys”
“We’ve been visiting this Lowe’s over the past few weeks because we’ve been working on a lot of projects. The service is 99% amazing—the staff throughout the store are always helpful—but the garden department staff are especially friendly and helpful. On Monday, we had to pick up some pine trees and pavers, and this guy in orange driving the forklift did an amazing job! It was pouring rain that day, but he didn’t hesitate to provide excellent service!”
“I had an amazing experience at Lowe’s today. Johnny in the Hardware department was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to walk me through my options, explained the best care for each tool needed to get the job done , and even helped me find what else I needed in plumbing . His kindness and expertise turned what could have been a stressful shopping trip into a breeze. Thank you, Johnny , for making my day! I’ll definitely be back to Lowe’s thanks to your excellent service.”
“Shoutout to The Home Depot for being more than a business—they truly care about the community. From the garden center to checkout to loading our vehicle, the customer service was exceptional. Their support helped make our Clean and Green: Elevate the Scene event a success for our students and families. We’re grateful for the partnership and the care shown throughout the experience!”
“Great place great customer service. Young guy name Melvin was very professional help me pic out the right hedge trimmers to use on my yard.

“Went with Home Depot Waldorf for a flooring project that fell through when we lost the contract on a home. Stressed worried but Jessica Gardner came through, she was professional polite and took care of everything in a stressful environment. Also helping her was Kelly who was also so nice and helpful. Top notch service please pass the kudos on to them both!”
“Had an issue with my online order via the app and called customer service. Only on hold for a minute before I spoke with a very nice lady who immediately gave me the store phone number. Laura at Oxen Hill knew about my order as soon as I gave her the number, confirmed that it was being prepared and adjusted the order quantity for me. Felt like I was dealing with my local hardware store rather than a big box store. Thank you! Can’t wait to finish my project!”
“I rented a hydraulic brush hog today and the service I received was very friendly and attentive. The equipment worked great. The pick up and drop off was smooth.”
“….and the Customer Service Rock Star Award goes to….Victor, Lead SSA. ??? Yesterday, my daughter and I went to the Ft Washington Post Office for passport renewal services. Victor was so professional, kind, efficient, and knew exactly what he was doing. The Department of State sent us a letter that her passport renewal application was received, but we completed the incorrect form and provided us with the correct form and instructions for next steps. Victor greeted us warmly. We had our part completed and Victor immediately knew what to do. What a breath of fresh air. I believe we were in and out within 7 minutes. I told Victor that he was a God-send. I was sharing this experience with a friend and she also commented that she has been serviced by Victor multiple times and the experience has always been phenomenal Keep doing what you’re doing, Victor! Your efforts are not in vain. God Bless”
“Darrell, an Associate in the Lawn and Garden department, is very knowledgeable and kind, genuine and easy to work with/talk to. He went out of his way to help my Mom and I with what we needed. He had thoughtful suggestions and questions. Plus, without our asking, he walked us out and loaded our vehicle with a very heavy item. We are very appreciative and thankful to Darrell!”
“My experience at this Lowe's Home Improvement store was positive. I shopped online for the product that I wanted. It was convenient to comparison shop online to compare products and prices. I made my purchase and selected curbside pickup. A few hours later I received an email saying my order was ready. I drove to the store and parked in a number space. I entered the space number in the confirmation email. And then a few minutes later a store associate placed the item in my vehicle. It was a great shopping experience for me.”
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.
