“Adorable store with friendly knowledgeable staff and a small town feel. Great selection of gift ideas that i wasnt expecting when I walked in the door. The employees go above and beyond to be helpful and will work with you to find what you need. I highly recommend you check them out for your next project or gift ideas. Its a neat store.”
“This place is a gem if you’re a home owner. I’ve gone in several times to get materials for home repairs and they’ve saved me hundreds if not thousands in not having to call a company out. The staff is very knowledgeable and makes it a quick and painless trip every time. If you actually like customer service and a hardware store staff that can actually give you the right advice this is your place. Makes me miss the old days when all businesses were like this. I’d go here over Home Depot or Lowe’s any day! The prices are similar but the amount of time and money you save on by getting the right stuff the first time actually makes it the cheapest. I also noticed they opened a gun shop inside which is pretty awesome looking.”
“The men who delivered my grill were very polite and efficient. Thank you! I don't remember their names (young man and an older man) but I visit the store often and am very pleased with the service.”
“I went for the 25% sale and got several items. At check out one of the items was on sale & did not qualify for the coupon. All ok however if the sale had been reflected on the shelf I would have picked up 1 more.”
“Great store! I’m a truck driver driving through Virginia and I broke down. I needed some commercial-grade sockets to remove some suspension from a commercial vehicle. I walked into the store and received a warm greeting from Zach. He guided me to the commercial-grade sockets and explained all the options to ensure I didn’t have to return. He went above and beyond to help me. I returned to my truck, and everything worked perfectly. The sockets fit well, and I was able to get off the side of the road promptly. Before I arrived at the store, Alex gave me detailed information about their inventory over the phone. The entire staff at this northern tools in Virginia is highly trained, friendly, and committed to providing excellent customer service. They ensure that customers get exactly what they need, reducing the need for repeated visits. Thank you, Alex and Zach, for your assistance. I’m driving off into the Sun now. Driver over out that’s a big 10 .4”

“Ordered a patio table & chairs. When the delivery was made the driver made a big mess in our brand new lawn driving on it with a fork lift. I called Home Depot and their insurance contacted me in a couple of days and paid for our original contractor to make the repairs. I sincerely appreciate them making it right. And, I love the new patio set.”
“Marc is an awesome associate and was very helpful in helping us find a hard to get plumbing cartridge remover. He needs a raise and promotion and use his work ethic and style as a basis for training. Thanks to Marc for helping us and going out of his way to help us find the tool we need!!!”
“They were awesome everyone in good spirits and so helpful made my visit easier. Gentlemen in yellow like hat was the boom. He was very respectful and helpful will be back.”
“I wanted to come on here specifically to give Kevin an honest review because he genuinely deserves the recognition. Kevin was absolutely incredible! He went above and beyond to help me, and his customer service was honestly next level. He was extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. What really stood out was how personable and genuine he was. You don’t come across people like Kevin every day. He’s the kind of person who makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. Honestly, after talking with him, I’d invite the guy over to hang out with my friends and family. 😂 Lowe’s is lucky to have someone like Kevin. He’s a perfect example of what great customer service should look like. If you’re ever in Lowe’s and need help, find Kevin you won’t regret it!”

They went above and beyond in my opinion to help my experience, be awesome and to make it happen.! Thank you guys for being an amazing”
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.
