“Just purchased a beautiful grill, excellent service. I was with my daughter at the time and couldn't fit it into the back of my SUV because of the car seat and they offered to drive it over. Thank you all so much! As always, the associates at this location are incredibly knowledgeable and more than willing to lend a hand.”
“Dropped my keys down an elevator shaft and had to get 4 new house keys (mine & different family member's homes) as well as a vehicle key fob. Priced cheaper than the dealer, and I was in and out in under 30 minutes for all 7 keys I had made! One of the house keys got messed up and they fixed it no problems. Fair prices, great service”
“I’m incredibly pleased with the service I received. Their attention to detail is remarkable, which is why I exclusively purchase and service my Stihl products through them.”
“I adore this place and make a point to go here over Home Depot or Lowe’s. The folks here are so helpful and are very education-first so I never feel like I’m being spoken down to. Steve has been so helpful in our project to repaint the walls in our house. His suggestions have helped us transform our space room by room. I will ALWAYS recommend this spot, thank you guys for your hard work!”
“First time here. This operation is incredible. Really efficient and helpful front desk, big place with tons of supplies and materials. I will definitely be back!”
“This store located just south of the Rt 9 and Rt 135 interchange is pretty nice. The plants are protected from the harsh sun near the door and were in good condition inspite of being on clearance, the tomatoes etc. The cashier Brian was helpful finding what I was looking for. The store setup is a modified version of the store I use more often and clean. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible.”
“My go-to for propane tank fills, odds and ends for home improvement projects, and great plant selection for spring/summer plantings. Also nicely co-located with a few other shops/small market next door so it's convenient to hit up Rocky's and then peruse the other shops on the way out.”
“I am a local contractor and shop here whenever I am working in the area. The staff are always quick to help find things and pull orders quickly. This is important when you are picking up materials to finish a job and don't want to waste time. The staff is also willing to help the diyer with whatever info they can provide with products or information on projects.”
“Staff at Papa's was extremely helpful. I didn't know exactly what I was looking for as I was shopping for something for my husband to do a repair on our sink. They also quickly made a key for me. Definitely an awesome place.”
“We buy a lot of materials from them and the people inside always take care of you. Especially Dan, they're lucky to have someone on top of their stuff and work there for a while.”
“Very professional and easy to work with. They have top notch equipment. They are down to earth people. If you are looking for any landscaping equipment these are the people to go to…”
“Great service from friendly people. They have a great price on CO2 tank fills. A tech grabbed my tank to fill it before I got to the counter. I was in and out in fifteen minutes.”
“We recently were called to this establishment as they had a leaky roof and we are a roofing company. FHC has been around for many years. They have been a big part in the industrial supply business in the New England area, specifically Leominster and Fitchburg, for over 100 years! I met with their staff as they were welcoming and very pleasant. A family run business for many years. My experience with them was exceptional and heartwarming. For all those who read this review, if you’re in the need of any type of industrial supplies or construction supplies, whether you’re looking for salt in the winter or Tools for your business or industrial chemical cleaners or specialty tools or many other things. I would say, please support this business as it has been a part of our community for many years and hopefully many years more to come! I give them a five star for their service to the community and their hospitality. We will also be using them ourselves here in the near future! Thank you, FHC. It was a pleasure doing business.

“I called last minute ( 3 days ahead) to get 7 large tables for our local Tag Sale. They were fairly priced and they dropped off and picked up-- also they were happy to call me a half hour ahead since it was not at my house. Their prices were 15% less than the 2 others companies I called in the next town...AllStar's crew was pleasant and helpful. Very pleased.”
“Reasonable prices, hours are great, employees are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I found them open quite early when I had a need to pick up a few items and nothing else was open. The store was bright, well stocked and organized extremely well. I am definitely returning when I have a need for anything tool related.”
“Always walk in the yard when I'm in the area to pick up lumber, paint, or whatever I need. If you want decent lumber they are a no brainer compared to those other vendors.”
“Ok, so let's being with you can actually find a employee here to assist you with questions, concerns. The customer service is great. Jason in painting eas amazing to assist me with my first questions on my first homw project. Joseph in the tile area was just as great. You guys definitely stole me from Lowe's and I'll def be coming back to Home Depot.”
“This place is great! Henry was super helpful, patient & knowledgeable when we ordered shades for our house & office! Great guy! Then Krista was super nice & lead us to Roy who helped us check out. Very funny & super nice too. A+++ service - thank you! :)”
“I am a builder and have used MAKI for years. The primary purpose for using them is for building supplies. Across the board, they do an excellent job of making sure the material is delivered in excellent condition and on schedule. Their delivery drivers are pros and are capable of getting the material to precisely where you want it. Not every company does this and Big Box delivery drivers can't carry their lunch. Excellent sales help and competitive pricing. Highly recommend”
“Reliable spot for home improvement projects. You can find pretty much everything here, from tools to materials, all in one place. The store is well stocked and organized, making it relatively easy to find what you need. Staff are generally helpful when you have specific questions. Whether it’s a small fix or a bigger project, this location is a solid and convenient choice.”
“My fence looks beautiful I wish they could have gotten a little closer to the ground but due to roots they were unable to but they did an amazing job and fast great group of guys aswell”
“I stopped by to get a specific item. Got help from an associate and got out in less than 15 min. There were almost no shoppers there after 7 PM during work week.”
“This place is great! Henry was super helpful, patient & knowledgeable when we ordered shades for our house & office! Great guy! Then Krista was super nice & lead us to Roy who helped us check out. Very funny & super nice too. A+++ service - thank you! :)”
“Hats off to Nick, Stephanie and Gary for collaborating and getting us through the having c of finding an electric 40 volt power tool set � it helps having ever so patient customer service talent! �”
“I shop here often. Store is well-merchandised. The staff are friendly but not the most helpful or well-informed/trained. They often point me in the wrong direction or have to look something up, if you can even find someone. I do like that they do a kids workshop periodically, and I appreciate the free cut when you buy lumber. The online pick-up is quick and I’ve had no issues with returns.”
“I was so impressed by attitude and attention of the staff at Hudson on a busy Saturday morning. I'm so used to the complete indifference verging on hostility usually demonstrated by the staff at your main competitors. I will be switching to Lowes as my first choice going forward”
“Up side: the current fleet of self checkout kiosks are excellent. Down side, still end up sorting bins to ensure I get what I actually came for, so much stuff is always misplaced by careless shoppers.”
“Good supply store. They have a pretty broad selection of tools, hardware, supplies, and machines (lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc.). They also have a garden center where the plants are okay to good but the supplies are well stocked”
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.
