Foodland’s ACE Hardware shares award, appreciation

Foodland IGA will hold a customer appreciation day on Sept. 19 to celebrate their part in winning a national award.

J.D. Power and Associates named Ace Hardware the highest ranking in customer satisfaction with home improvement retail stores for the 11th year in a row. Foodland will host their celebration, which is part of a cross-country tour, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

“At Foodland IGA Ace Hardware, we strive to meet and exceed customer needs year after year, and we’re proud to be a part of the family of Ace stores that are all committed to delivering a more personal kind of helpful,” Chris Blanchette, Foodland IGA store manager, said in a release.

During the event, customers will have a chance to take a photo with the prestigious J.D. Power trophies and will have the opportunity to win prizes and take advantage of in-store promotions.

The award is based on a study from nearly 2,751 consumers who purchased home improvement products or services in the previous 12 months. Ace Hardware ranked highest among major retailers with an overall satisfaction index score of 810 on a 1,000-point scale.
