“I had one of those “simple” plumbing projects that quickly turned into me and my wife staring at a wall of parts like we were trying to decode ancient hieroglyphics. We were looking for a connector for our sink and getting absolutely nowhere. That’s when one of the ladies working there stepped in and saved the day. Within seconds, she knew exactly what we needed, and grabbed the right part. This isn’t the first time they’ve come through either. I’ve bought paint here before, and it turned out perfect. Honestly, if I had tried to pick it myself, I would’ve ended up with something that looked like a highlighter exploded on my walls or exterior paint which would not look good in my bathroom. Their guidance made all the difference. Great people, great service, and they clearly know their stuff. Highly recommend!”
“My the lord be reincarnated in this store for it is the Shepard of our salvation with abundant knowledge and heart may the oh holy light shine brightest upon their souls”

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.
