Jesus was especially helpful throughout my visit — he was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer my questions and help me find exactly what I needed. It’s always refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely cares about helping customers. The service was efficient, friendly, and made the whole experience easy.

I didn't know where to turn before AWD stepped in. The service technicians were also very talented and competent. All's well that ends well.”

“Great prices with amazing lifetime warranty. They have almost all the tools the other stores have at much cheaper prices. No matter the DIY project, they will have a tool that works. Staff is also very friendly and there is never a long wait to checkout. Plus there is a human at checkout - the store doesn't make YOU do their work!”

“Within the past month, I have gone into the Ocean Grove hardware store and each time I have been met with a smile and, “How can I help you.” I have gotten everything I have needed whether it was paint, eye hooks, air filters for the furnace, and today an outdoor electrical outlet box. I installed the new box with a new outlet that I had purchased from Home Depot and it didn’t work. I went back to OG hardware and spoke with Dan. He was very helpful, telling me all the possible scenarios, one of which was that perhaps the outlet I had was defective. I bought a new outlet, went home and eureka!!! It worked!! I am cutting up my Home Depot card and will do all my shopping at the Ocean Grove hardware store, where quality and excellent, friendly service is always to be found.”

When I'm working in the brick Thomas river or Lakewood area, they have just about everything you need. And if they don't have it, they'll order it for you.

“Dee Bradford - one of the managers is the kindest , friendliest, and knowledgeable person in the Neptune Store.

“I'm new to the area and have a piece of property on a cul de sac, surrounded by leaf and pine trees. Needed a leaf blower, so I went online to find one that was lightweight and affordable. Home Depot was the place I figured I could get personalized help with a Ryobi advertised for under $70. As it turns out, the item I had hoped to take home that day was only available online, and didn't come with a battery & charger. No WONDER so inexpensive, right?? Silly me. I found an assistant manager named Mike B. and he showed me a more powerful Ryobi, WITH the accessory parts, and gave me a nice discount. After tax, it was $133. At my request, Mike assembled the blower, and I charged it that day. It handled very easily, and blew a fallen tree limb across the lawn! These yard tools are an investment, so I'm glad I didn't cheap out. I'm very pleased with the Ryobi, and Mike was a pleasure to deal with! I'll look for him next time I go. First impressions are important. Mike went above and beyond. Give that boy a raise!!”
“Was looking for a storm door for the house, went to a few stores but no one really helped. Met an associate named Sean Okeefe in the woodworking department and he was a huge help, knew his product and although the store didn't have my door he directed me to the nearest store that did.”
“Today we went to the Home Depot in Neptune looking for a deck box to store our patio cushions. We were helped by Nick in the Garden Center. We were overwhelmed by the sizes and choices. Nick was so very helpful and knowledgeable about the measurements and quality of the products. He really made our day! We purchased one and he assisted us with the very large and heavy box to the cashier and right out to our car, where he loaded it for us as well. Well done, Nick! Thank you so much.”
“The staff here are the best! My GF was feeling a bit light headed and took a squat, a supervisor named Michelle noticed and asked if she was okay. She offered water and refused to let me pay for it. She briefly left to grab the water and returned with the manager Lora who offered to grab some candy and ensure her blood sugar isnt too low. Once again, I tried to pay them, but Lora insisted we take it. Michelle then took our cart and walked us to a spot where my GF could sit comfortably and recover. Have I mentioned that they have dedicated parking spots for disabled veterans like myself too? You can't beat Lowes, they're the best!”

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.

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.
