“This place reminds me of the corner hardware store where I used to hang out at on Saturday mornings while my dad was inside buying nails by the pound. The available inventory is just mind blowing, with some really obscure (and badly needed) fitting and such on hand. Always greeted with a smile and help is readily available. The antithesis of the big box store experience.”
“A great hardware store run by great people. Thankful they're in the community. My place to go for nuts/bolts/washers for every project, as well any time of nails or screw (just spent almost $80 there on them) for carpentry projects. Thanks!”
“5 Stars – An Absolute Elite Asset in Ambridge I’ve been running Grago Lawn Care for 25 years, and I can honestly say that David Strano’s Do It Best in Ambridge is one of the best hardware and supply stores I’ve ever worked with. From the moment you walk in, you feel the difference — clean, well-organized, and stocked with quality products that professionals actually rely on. David is the real deal. He’s not just a store owner; he’s a true community asset who creates a genuine family vibe that makes every visit feel welcoming and personal. You can tell he cares deeply about his customers and his team, and that warmth comes through in every interaction. He goes above and beyond to help local businesses succeed, and that sense of family and support is rare these days. Whether you’re a contractor, homeowner, or small business owner, this store delivers elite service, fair pricing, and the kind of knowledge you can trust. They have the right tools, parts, and materials when you need them — no runaround, no nonsense. If you’re anywhere near Ambridge, do yourself a favor and shop at Do It Best. Tell David that Patrick from Grago Lawn Care sent you. Places like this make our community stronger, and I’m grateful to have them in my corner. Highly, highly recommend. 5 stars all the way.”

“Gave me exactly what I needed and quickly, too. Recommended a part that was slightly more expensive but was an exact replica. Worked perfectly when installed. I couldn't be happier. Great service!”
“It's close to home and I can get groceries without having to go to Walmart. The Tru-Value hardware store inside sometimes makes it confusing since you can walk into it by mistake. The store should do a reset and make the line between the groceries and the True Value more defined.”
“Visited this Lowe’s last week to pick up lumber with my husband. Zach, an employee passing by us, offered to help my husband pick out and load the lumber onto our cart since it was myself helping him out. Zach went above and beyond with helping us and we couldn’t have appreciated it more.”
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.
