“It is not Lowe's or Home Depot, but they have quite a bit packed into this tiny shop. Great place to get things when your in the middle of a project. They won't have everything thing, but they may save your waiting 2-7 days for a shipment to arrive.”
“We recently had new tires put on our band trailer for Overhills High School, and we could not be more impressed with the experience! From the moment we arrived, all of the staff were absolutely amazing! They took the time to answer all of my questions and address every concern I had. They worked super fast and efficiently to get our trailer ready for marching band season, and we truly appreciate everything they did for us! It’s always a blessing to find a business that genuinely cares about its customers and its community. If you’re in need of new tires, tire services, or maintenance for your vehicle, we highly recommend stopping by and supporting this family-owned business! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Ray Road Tire & Auto for taking such great care of us and helping keep the Overhills High School Band rolling!”
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.
