“Helpful staff. Good location to service the local area. Some of the prices are rather high, but for the most part the price offsets the time and distance to get the same product cheaper. Very convienent”
“Very courteous, extremely knowledgeable, goes out of his way to help just like an old fashioned store I grew up around. Very happy to have him there. Ron is awesome. I'm a weekend warrior and he is always there for me. - My dad”
“Great locally owned store with a decent selection. It’s close to us so we try and support them as much as possible. People have always been friendly and helpful. Will return!”
“Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Quick to ask you if you need help while not being pushy about things. Always honest in my experience, whether it be prices of goods or whether a product will work for your situation. Very knowledgeable and up to date on current code enforcement. By this I mean the NEC, State and Local codes relating to new electrical service installations in particular. They have saved me a great deal of time and headaches in the past. Also even able to put me in contact with local inspectors for when the work is completed. I must say the prices I have found there either match or they beat the big box stores and for being local that is a big plus, but the service just puts them over the top and makes them better than any of the commercial retailers like Lowe’s, Home Depot or Menards in my opinion. You just don’t find places like this anymore and I highly recommend if you need something that a big box chain would carry, give these guys a call, the product inventory they carry will surprise you.”
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.
