“As a septic contractor, I use VAMAC for all my materials needs. I had accidentally ran into their outside salesman years back. He won my business from another company I had been with for over 15 years. Better pricing, excellent service, and trade specific parts I had never even knew existed helped me grown my business. From the outside salesman, guys at the counter, store manager, delivery manager, and even the delivery guys- I've not found another company that can match the great quality of service I get there. As an A rated company on Angie's list I try to conduct my business in such a way as you'll never get a second chance to make a 1st impression. Even the materials delivered on the job site are always in nice neat stacks, all pipe together and looking like someone cared enough to take the time to a good job. Try them, you won't be disappointed!Greg Dash @Liberty Excavating LLC”
“Bought some lumber yesterday and as usual customer service was top shelf. Such a pleasant experience. Everyone there is so helpful and great prices. I would recommend over the big box stores any day.”

“I had gone to every hardware store you can imagine a couple of them I visited twice. I was in search of a piece for my Simpson pressure washer that seemed to be obsolete. I was out of ideas on places to go in search of this rare but extremely important part when I seen this little Trye Value Hardware on a hill. I said WTH I might as well give it a try. I bet they will know how to help me. All of the employees were very nice and polite and quick to help me. The one guy took a look at my damaged part and went to the back to look. He came out with a little baggie, opened it up, he’d it up to nine, and with a smile said that was my part. I was and still am overjoyed. They sent me on my way beyond pleased. Excellent customer service! The guy with the dreads saved the day.”
“I had to make an incredible shoutout for several employees at this tractor supply in Winchester. Their customer service has been above and beyond and really made it easier for myself to bring my two pitties in for their pet washes. My girls are both rescues and are so skiddish but with the effort of these employees and staff at this location they open up and warm up so quickly. Some specific names to mention: Tyler Hawes who spent multiple times helping my dogs out and gave them the chance to really have positive experiences in public. He has remembered us each time we go in there and my girls LOVE him! There was another Tyler C., who spent a bit of time to ensure my girls felt safe and welcome!!! Mabel and Cookie seem each time we go to have a better and better experience with each of the staff. The ladies at checkout are also incredible and always be sure to treat my girls with such love and respect! I will be speaking about them to everyone! Please show these employees a friendly greeting they deserve it!”

“Great place. Super friendly staff. Been there several times shopping for a home remodel. Have found deals on items just about every time I go. New location is bigger and seems to be filling with more items each time I go.”
“Lowes provided me with a replacement mower deck belt that broke on my brand new John Deere S180 after only 9.3 hours of use. The Manager was very helpful and went beyond my expectations to fix the problem. I believe the old belt was defective from the factory and was in no way Lowes fault. Thanks again for this and the way you treat our Country's Veterans 🇺🇸”

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.
