“I was looking for a local hardware store that had more building supplies than Ace (I love my local Ace too but I need stuff that I usually go to home depot for) Long story short- it’s local, the prices are better than HD, and you can actually get assistance! Sign me up! No more HD or Lowe’s for me.”
“Needed to replace glass with polycarbonate, and I couldn't of asked for better service/help from the front counter. They even trimmed my piece again after I goofed the measurements. Saved me a ton of money and hassle 😎 you got yourself a new fan. Storefront had lots of useful assorted items for sale as well.”
“Wow! Great hardware store! Clean and tidy and well stocked! Professional tradesman working a job site near by. Stopped in for some supplies. “Chad” was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Knew exactly what I wanted and where it was in the store. Walked me right to it. He also helped me know where to go get sandwiches for the guys back at the job. I wish this was the local hardware store where I lived I’d be in all the time. Thank you Chad you rock !”
“I needed a cast iron pulley to replace an aluminum one that was trashed on the motor for my air compressor. I was amazed to see the selection of pulleys hanging on the “pulley wall”. They had what I needed. What a great old time hardware store.”
“Perfect feed store, old wooden floors, great aroma of potting soil and chicken feed, sweet 'ol black lab behind the counter, everything you need and a few surprises you'll enjoy!”
“Amazing customer service and knowledge. Good wood selection for higher quality lumber and veneer. Also has a fairly decent “standard” hardware store section with plumbing, painting, etc supplies. Great to have as the local store’”
“Great shop. Beautiful vintage and antique hardware as far as the eye can see. Things are displayed with intention and organized to make finding parts and pieces easy. Chatted with the owner who was super lovely. A Portland gem. Go here”
“I don’t think you could ask for more as a DIYer—friendly, incredibly helpful, and endlessly patient with HVAC non-experts. I only wish I knew about them sooner into my project!”
“I met River who does ordering. We talked about his selection of 54 MTN spray paint colors. He has them in both Hardcore (glossy) and M94 (flat). There are 215 colors in MTN's online store (spray planet). I'll probably get my paint online if I have time for shipping. But if I need it today, Hankins Hardware is the place I go.”
“This is my new favorite store! The workers are so helpful - my buddy John spent like a half hour helping me figure out how to change the drawer pulls in my kitchen. I really appreciated the help and can't wait to come back.”
“Worked one on one with Daniel who was really knowledgeable and kind during his explanations. I can tell he has a lot of experience and is passionate about what he does. I felt very welcomed here!”
“Friendly and helpful staff and a great selection! Honestly, I almost didn't go in there today because I encountered some rude staff members in previous visits, who obviously didn't want to assist me or want my business. But today was different. They cheerfully answered my questions and helped me choose the right $10 part. I'm glad I gave them another chance.”
“Barbo is the spot. Jeanie and the sales boys are always there to help keep our shop up and running. If you need pro tools and supplies there is no better spot in town.”
“Idk why I bother with the Hillsboro store anymore. Well except for the random cool car that happens to be visiting, THAT store is always out of things I need. Now THIS BEAVERTON store has everything I need and then some! I oooed and ahhhd so much while I was there just in the metal working department that I thought I might be asked to leave for no good reason, but hey thats another great thing about this store: they all like me to be there! I wasn't bothered, but as soon as I looked up for help someone who was clearly busy stepped in to help, he even ran back twice for my tool. Then the same thing happened when I looked up sorta near the cash registers. I mean this guy was totally busy but still took the time to not only hook me up with the secret parts phone number but also made sure I didnt miss out on the free item for the Inside Track Members. Come to think of it. that's how I eneded up a member too- flippin' excellent customer service that not only listens to you but also hears what you are (trying to) say AND finds a solution! I mean like holy wow! What a difference again between this store and the Hillsboro location. No wonder those guys never get the stock they think they're gonna get. Lmao. As if I needed any more nudging, I have convinced myself to just travel the extra miles and get my stuff and my kid in candy shop glee going on at the Beaverton Harbor Freight!! Hoooorahhhhhhh!!!”
“A marvelous funhouse of a store. I've found some random useful bits of home hardware here. Helpful and honest staff; one time I came asking about having a lamp repaired which was going to cost $80, and instead they talked me into fixing it myself for $3 worth of wiring. Wouldn't say it's a great place to find a good deal though, prices generally seem high.”
“Really helpful staff, I love that it’s in my neighborhood so I don’t have to go to the “Depot”. They have just about everything. It reminds me of the hardware shop in the small town I grew up in.”
“Just found these guys recently because I needed black pipe cut to length. From the the first phone call I found them to be friendly and knowledgeable. When I came in an hour later Melinda recognized me from the phone call. She remembered what I needed and got right to work setting me up. I was unorganized and unsure of what i needed. She sorted it out like a pro. Then a great guy, maybe Eric? Cut my pipe to length and got it to me while I was there. Later just before closing I called again because I was one cut short of getting the job done. Unbelievably to me they went the extra mile to get the part I needed to finish the job that day. I offered them cash for coffee as a thank you. They just declined and said come back again. These people are pleasure and restored some of my faith in customer service. Thank you”
“I highly recommend this place! Highly knowledgeable and extremely helpful! They went the extra mile to please this customer - thanks Fred for all you did to get replacement casters on my camera stand that was threaded with impossible to find threads!”
“This is my favorite hardware store in town. It’s not the closest to me, so I go out of my way to come here. It’s worth it for the customer service, selection, and even ambiance (which is weird to say about a hardware store, but the light is really nice). They have a wide range of products that I don’t always expect from a hardware store from tea balls to dinnerware to soda stream canisters. Even stuff that works nicely as gifts, like the rather extensive collection of beeswax candles. They also have huge suite of Benjamin Moore paint products and are knowledgeable about all the options.”
“This place is so great. I hadn't rented anything for a couple years, but had a larger landscaping/cleanup project. I just borrowed two different long pruners and they were both super sharp. Honestly, I would not have been able to get this done without borrowing these as both renting and buying were too expensive. Plus when I go in everyone is friendly and helpful. I am so grateful this place is in my neighborhood!”
“Grateful for Foster Feed & Garden for providing our puppy with the vaccines necessary to keep him safe and healthy. It was hard finding a store that provides self administered pet vaccines and they certainly have them and both employees were cheerful and very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to help me. Thanks guys!”
“Great place for technical hardware. Super friendly and helpful staff.This establishment is known for its wide selection of technical hardware. Customers consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff. It's a welcoming environment for both seasoned techies and those just starting their journey. The knowledgeable team provides excellent customer service and readily offers assistance. This makes it a great place to find the perfect hardware solutions.”
“Joe helped me out with a single nylon washer. My hand controls on my Van came apart while I was driving. When they were put back together a nylon washer was left out making it hard to push the brakes. Not only did Joe install the washer for me, he also loaded my wheelchair up. Our Country could use more Joe’s like the one that works here.”
“Super friendly service, they have specialty metric bolts in stock that no other hardware store has. Saved my time-sensitive project! Absolutely will be shopping here from now on.”
“Excellent friendly service. They did everything they could to get me the right tools to finish my job. Would definitely recommend Acme Construction Supply Portland.”
“Once again I found myself at Powell Villa Ace. My home depot is down the block from my home, but I usually go to Powell Villa because they're just that good. I'm disabled and every time I break the threshold of store, cashier greets, how you doing? What you need? Then David can help you. Within 5 minutes I'm walking out of store with what I thought I needed and a few more items through David's advice to make my job easier. Why a long review? Well, this place, it's dedicated, personal are overwhelmingly great. I moved here 9 months ago, purchased a house and have been upgrading and repairing b.s. that came with house. I find it way easier to consult and find help here than anywhere else. All staff here are great. David is a huge plus because he always makes my job easier, always getting me stuff to make it easier for me. Added plus for every able bodied (non handicap) person is that everyone is treated like this. Thank you David and Cashier and staff. You never dissapoint.”
“Very clearly a family run hardware business. They have lots of kinds of hardware parts and stuff. I utilized their screws, nuts and spray paint department. You want to support local business? Go here instead of cold corporate big box.”
“Finally a place that serves the working people. Understands that some people gotta work on the weekends and are open for reasonable hours on a Saturday. Great customer service.”
“When I was struggling with getting my back tire off my bike and I couldn't figure it out because the bulk was strict, I went Uber to this hardware store and Chris and Matt helped me out immensely with getting my back tire off. Both of these 2 employees are phenomenal, outstanding, outgoing people.I recommend this hardcore to restore to anybody”
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.
