“Hurcules tools are top notch. I love Harbor freights warranty and their customer service is even better. I check Harbor freight first before going to any other store.”
“I love this location. My family recently lost a very important family member and I came for flower pots. Angela made my night with her energy and kind heart. She is truly a blessing.”
“Recently Lowe’s has stepped up there game! Now offering bet professional lines of products the the declining orange competition. Recommend this highly for better pricing, service and selection!”
“I just have to say how awesome Blake in the scissor lift delivery department is! Seriously so helpful and willing to go the extra mile. We’re painting a mural for Young Powersports of Layton and our team has taken an aerial lift certification course, but we haven’t had the hands on experience with one yet. When I reserved it the lady told me she can’t guarantee the delivery guy will show me how to operate it, but I could ask. Blake called to tell me he was on his way (exactly on time within the expected delivery window) and I asked if he’d mind taking 2 minutes to show me how to operate it. When he got there, he went over absolutely everything from troubleshooting to safety stops to confirming the safety gear we’ll need and so much more. I couldn’t have asked for a better orientation for how to safely work a 25’ scissor lift, and I took a 2 hour class already! If he didn’t take that extra time to help, I’d have to sit and read the manual or watch YouTube videos to feel totally confident. I really appreciated Blake’s extra time to help (in full sun at 3pm) and our project is going to go so much smoother now! Can a manager give that guy kudos for being a knowledgeable, hard-working, and helpful employee that makes Home Depot look good please?”
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.
