“harbor freight offers great deals and a surprising selection of quality tools and products at reasonable prices, whenever I think 'surely they won't have it' they usually do.”
“Manager Mark and Brandon were very helpful and professional. They Took a lot of time with us to plan our dream kitchen. They also assisted with instructions that were very helpful for installation. Would highly recommend this store, employees and the products they carry. The products we purchased were better quality then Home Depot or Lowes carries.”
“This showroom had a lot of unique fixtures where I found a beatiful chandelier! Worked with Jordan and he really helped me out with knowing what size to get and then with the other lights i needed, he quickly flipped through a couple books and helped me find exatly what I was looking for. He gave me photo copies so that i could go home and think about which one would work the best. Very pleasant experience!”
“Needed a special lightbulb for my kitchen and did not want to have to go to Home Depot or Lowes, found this store, called and LOVED the personalized service. Had what I needed and the price was better then expected. Will return there for all of my electrical needs and highly recommend them.”
“Very friendly gentleman seen me for a carpet machine... nothing less than professional ... Will always use this home depot for my rentals... thank you sir for your help!”
“I recently had stopped in for a project at my home requiring dry wall and other materials. The front end staff was extremely informative and attentive and helped point me in the right direction for most of the materials needed. I’ve been in and out of Bellevue builders over the last couple of years and not sure if it’s under new management but the cleanliness, layout and the overall atmosphere of the store seems much better.”
“I was assisted by Cheryl in the Garden Dept of Lowes, Niskayuna and found her to be wonderfully friendly and helpful. I will definitely be coming back to Lowes for my shrubs and trees!”
“Almost a perfect Home Depot. Except unswept and egregiously dirty. If I have to wear a Covid mask to mask the dust and garbage stench, chances are I will not come back. The staff in the kitchen section was very friendly and took a few minutes to chat me up and tell me different ways to solve a home-related shelving idea. The guy in this section told me what he used to do for a living in Manhattan and that gave me some color and flavor as to his expertise and general knowledge of the questions I was asking. Really great staff! Items are marked and well-stocked. Isles were easy to navigate compared to some other small homeware shops. Unfortunately, like I said: There was sawdust all over the place, candy wrappers, water bottles, trash, nails, used Kleenex, papers, flyers and none of the carts were clean, unsticky or NOT grimy or rusted. Great staff. Easy isles. Floors were a hellhole! Clean the entrance, car lot and the ISLES for goodness sake. Review: 4”
“Today I bought a toolbox. What would have been $532.00 came to $349.00. The banner didn't give full explanation and they took money off the purchase. The staff was very accommodating and kind. Shop Home Depot!”
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%.
