“Just recently I planted grass seed before it rained heavily and decided to buy a new lawn mower because my old one was acting up. I then decided to head to Lowes to shop around for a good deal. I had a fabulousness experience as usual. Joseph M. And Josh---inside lawn--- and manager michael d.for answering all my many questions. At first I wanted gas but changed my mind and opted for battery lawn mover. I then checked my phone and discovered I could save more money if I ordered the electric mower on Lowes.com. i never did this but Brady M--plumbing-- and Karna J.--- head cashier assisted me. I told all of them thank you several times and I want to everyone to know how wonderful Lowes is. I also want to thank manager parker and manager Brandon for being awesome. Thanks from the bottom of my heart all of you folks................. On may 1 and may 2, 2026, I went to lowes and $800 of miracle grow top soil that was dirt cheap on sale for my front and back yard......a week later I learned that the same bags that were $2.29 were on sale for $2 before the additional 5% discount. I went to Lowe's and all the employees were awesome from the cashiers to the managers....I forget the cashiers names but the managers names are manager jarred m., manager Ashley t., and shylah were totally awesome. I told them the story and they all had a ❤ heart and assisted me financially to make things perfect. Again, thank you to everyone involved again and again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
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.
