“Has Harbor Freight really been here for over 10 years? It feels like they just opened yesterday. This location has a solid selection of tools that I've picked up and used over the years. Their Daytona floor jacks perform extremely well and are very comparable to higher-end brands, and the Hercules power tools have been reliable for me with zero issues as well (comparable to the Milwaukee brand). If you do a bit of homework in researching how others have rated the different tools here, you’ll be able to save tons of money by going with the options they sell here. Also, the staff at this location have always been kind and helpful everytime I’ve gone to check out or ask a question. My younger son often comes with me just to look at tools, and the employees are always friendly and engaging with him, which I really appreciate. Overall, it’s a great option for budget tools if you don’t want to spend a fortune at Lowe’s or take a hike up to Home Depot in Warrenton. Walmart does have their own line of cheaper tools, but Ive always felt that Harbor Freight is a step above. With Ace Hardware no longer around, this is one of the better remaining options in town for budget friendly.”
“Without a doubt one of the best places to shop for hardware and paint accessories period. Not only is their selection variety fantastic, but you’ll never find a place where the staff invest so much time into understanding your exact project and needs as The Paint Bucket. They won’t try to talk you into the expensive stuff not to buy a dozen items. They will help you understand exactly what you need whether it’s a cheaper item or not, and offer advice on strategies per their professional experience on how to get it done. Culpeper is beyond blessed to have a place like this. Thank you Paint Bucket!”
“Wanted to give Eric Canfield a shoutout and say thanks for getting our home filtration set up for our new build. Answered all my phone calls and questions. We have dealt with the Culpeper and ruckersville location for our house and the service is great. Thanks man!”
“This is the best Lowe's I have been to in a long time. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. I came in late on a Friday night looking for several parts and I met up with Mr. Clyde in hardware and he immediately knew how to solve my problem and he gathered all the parts for me in a matter of five minutes. I appreciate it so much and I called him my God saving angel. If you need anything that needs fixing or just adding new things to your home this is the Lowe's to go to. Great service, great prices, A+ plus all around. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so much for all of your help!”
“So neatly arranged (no boxes and displays crowding aisles like another big box hardware store does in Warrenton). Always well organized and clean. East to find staff are where you need them.”
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.
