“This is the place to find that one weird part that no one else in town carries. If they don't have it, it's unlikely that anyone else in town does either. The hardware bins are well organized, and if you just need one or two of something, you don't have to buy a whole box.”
“I'm an old woman but I still enjoy fixing things and doing lawncare. I feel so happy when I go to Harbor Freight. It's perfect for a non-professional handyman! It's more fulfilling than a department store for me. ❤ I forgot to mention they are organized, well-stocked, and provide excellent customer service.”
“I love ace hardware they are always nice and helpful good place to go to instead of the big companies where its hard to find one person that works there and then they are not even knowledgeable about anything in the store you are asking about thanks ace!”
“Awesome Sauce! Really have cleaned up the place, and totally refreshed! Thank You guys for being so kind and helpful. Im sure that people will realize that when they visit City Lumber they will understand what local service truly means. They will find everything that they are looking for and expect advice on how to fix their problems. Good Luck and i will let everyone know about my wonderful experience.”
“Bought a nice portable tri-fuel generator for way less than Harbor Freight and got all the needed accessories with it, still out the door for hundreds less than the comparable unit at other stores. Staff was very friendly and helpful.”
“Adam and the crew up at Pate’s are top notch. Very knowledgeable and keep quite a bit in stock. Always helpful with deliveries as well. I have never been let down by them here at 325 Guys Construction.”
“Paid for material drove through out the yard and helped load them . While in the process of getting ready to leave an employee approached us and asked if our ticket had been scanned. I confirmed it had and that the guy whom scanned the ticket helped us load it . I guess he thought we were stealing it not really sure what his thought process was on that one.”
“Service was awesome pony been there once they had what I needed. I was picking up number one bottles the plumbers pack the little ones, bottles looked in great shape, not all junkie like stores and other places have which makes it sometimes difficult to exchange would I go back to this place ? Yes”
“We have purchased three things from them and are extremely happy with everything. They are very friendly and really know their products. Our Speed Queen washer is simply the best by far of any I've ever had or known about. It is made in Wisconsin and you can tell the quality right away. It is super simple to use, quiet and does not require some special soap. I love the beautiful stainless tub and everything else about it. We will never get anything else and when we need a dryer, it will be a Speed Queen as well. We also got an upright freezer. It is not as big as our old one, but is very well made and has features inside that make it very useful. As beautiful as the washer is, this freezer is just cute. We love it. Lastly, we bought a GE double oven gas range. It is beautiful and everything on it works wonderfully. No longer burning everything, even on low heat and a very less than even good oven, like we had with our, not very old well known brand from China. This beautiful range is also easy to understand as well as working perfectly. We are so happy with everything and look forward to buying some of their beautiful lighting, etc. as needed.”
“Easily found what we wanted. Employee was close by. He loaded our item onto a cart. Took it upfront for us and waited for us to check out. He loaded our stuff in our pickup for us. Excellent service”
“We had an outstanding experience with Bobby at Home Depot. My sister and I were shopping for lumber to build a deck when Bobby took the time to stop and help us. He listened to what we were trying to accomplish and recommended the best type of wood for our project, explaining why it was the right choice. What really stood out was that he went above and beyond by cutting the lumber which made the project so much easier. Bobby was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in helping us. Excellent customer service like his is hard to find these days. Thank you, Bobby, for making our Home Depot experience such a positive one. We truly appreciate your professionalism and willingness to help!”
“I don't know the guys name but whoever worked today (18 Feb 23) around 3 pm in the paint department at the southwest drive store, was so damn nice. I was so interested in the paint making process, he let me come in and create my friends paint that she needed. He taught me how and let me do it myself and i was so fucking excited. He was the sweetest and funniest guy. He made me die laughing. If anyone knows who he is, let me know so i can take him out on a date. He has 5 days left there and he deserves the best!”
“Luis and the Abilene South Lowe's team are the absolute gold standard of customer service. As a local business owner, I rely on partners who can help me solve complex professional challenges, and this team delivers every single time. They are incredibly proactive, highly responsive, and consistently willing to go the extra mile—even doing outside research to find the right solutions for my projects. Their relentless focus on client success makes them an invaluable asset to both my business and the Lowe's brand.”
“Eleven years since my review. Well, this Home Depot is still one of the smaller stores, with the corresponding smaller selection. Definitely smaller than Lowe's, but I still like the store. They stay pretty well stocked and the store is clean. I usually have no problem getting some help, and the employees are always nice. I was once told that Home Depot is for contractors, and Lowe's is for us weekend warriors. That might be true, but I like Home Depot just as much. Our Lowe's gets SO crowded, it's a pain to get checked out. Prices are usually comparable, so take your pick! See you next time!”
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.
