“I've been a customer of Midwest Power Equipment for many years, and I can honestly say they are the most knowledgeable people in the greater Lansing area when it comes to robotic automowers. They carry several high-quality brands, and their experience and expertise are obvious the moment you talk with them. They take the time to answer questions, explain options, and make sure customers get the right equipment for their property and needs. What I especially appreciate is that they are excellent to work with — professional, honest, patient, and genuinely helpful before and after the sale. Midwest Power Equipment was already a trusted name long before joining with Midwest Ace Hardware, and combining the two businesses has made them an even stronger local resource. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality outdoor power equipment, especially robotic mowers.”
“Made a deal happen with Jon, 100% virtually! We have lots of places close by, however the incredible service pushed me their way. Jon earned it and my business! Thank you for using the lost art of customer satisfaction!”
“Recently stopped in for a plumbing part and found a new work belt with a magnetic buckle that is awesome. They even sell baseball cards and have good taxidermy work in the back.”
“Really nice guy that works there. I was sent by another Ace store because this one is independent and had the hardware that is from a different supplier. Glad I made the drive out.”
“Michaela was so helpful and made my experience so much easier going into the store and not knowing where the things I needed were at. She helped me locate the items and we had a good conversation. Will be back to this location for her!”
“I buy from this store frequently, in fact I go there first rather than a big box store. They have an extensive inventory and the staff is terrific--always ready to help and always have solutions for things I can't figure out. They're the best.”
“These guys have everything. Arch and his team do a fantastic job. They have an impressive selection of tools and hardware for what seems like a small store from the outside. But every time I come in they’ve added something to their range or put up a new display. Helpful staff and fresh popcorn to boot, can’t ask for much more!”
“I thought Stillwater grill was still here, I'm glad it's not. I saw this place on my way home from work and stopped to pick up some screws and stuff. I was happy to not have to go all the way to Home Depot, not that it's that far away but this was way easier to get to. Anyway this place saved me about 20 minutes of my life by not having to endure the traffic up okemos rd. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Legg lumber is a great place for all your construction needs. Very reasonably priced the quality is excellent! They have been very helpful throughout my construction project. I will be using them always!”
“I would like to thank Johnny for making my day today. He provided me tremendous customer service and I look forward to coming back here in the near future. Thank you for what you do thank you.”
“There is a very nice looking very kind individual that works there I believe on the weekends has a little salt and pepper always full of jokes always willing to help you find whatever it is you're looking for”
“A lot more than a home improvement store. Most items cost the same or less than other non-members required box stores. The downside. It was difficult to get help in the paint department. I actually called the store. Entered the extension (16). And let the person know ppl were waiting at the counter to get paint. Would have been easier if a bell/buzzer/ phone had been available. Also no military discount .”
“Great place to go and pick up the last-minute items before going on a road trip. Service was very friendly, and this store is very well laid out. There’s just enough inventory and plenty of space to move around and not have to bump into someone else. Parking is adequate here too.”
“Nicole was incredibly helpful when we visited the showroom. She went above and beyond to meet our needs when other businesses could not. She was able to locate what we needed quickly and helped solve our problem.”
“This is a branch of the TrueValue Hardware store next door. They have a good selection of larger tools and uncommon tools like comealongs, stump grinders, post hole diggers, and other machines.”
“The home depot, long-standing resource for every dyo project, from subsonic potato guns, counterflow still condensers to concrete stands for the computer screen. Knowleadgeable staff, good location, although I wish they had better signeage, I miss the right turn from East Grand River more often than not. You may still meet me here pretty much every other weekend day. Kids love the (occasional) free popcorn! Go Orange! Update: as great as they were.”
“I recently had an early morning emergency situation with a disabled delivery vehicle. The only business renting vehicles that were open at that particular time was the Okemos Home Depot. I called the store and an employee working the customer service desk whose name is Marco answered the phone call. All I can say is, Home Depot is very fortunate to have found a person who understands excellent customer service! Keep up the fantastic work Marco and you will soon find yourself in a management position!!!”
“As far as home improvement stores go...it's a good one. We certainly spend enough money here. Very helpful staff. Competitive prices. Medium grade good grade products. Usually find most of what we need.”
“The store is clean and the staff are friendly. Prices are decent, middle of the pack, when compared to other home improvement stores.Valsparpaint is awesome and is some of the best paint I've used. I stay away from their shark bite style products as they leak after a short time.”
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.
