SOUTH SALEM ACE HARDWARE CELEBRATES AWARD-RECOGNIZED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WITH STOP ON CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR
Salem, OR – (Feb. 23, 2018): Independently-owned South Salem Ace Hardware is celebrating recognition by JD Power as the “highest in customer satisfaction with home improvement retail stores” for the 11th year in a row. The store celebrated by throwing a customer appreciation event with prizes, in-store discounts, food and photos.
Store owner, Matt Haddad, was very pleased with the special recognition: “I am extremely proud of all the hard work our South Salem Ace team has put forth over the past 11 years. We look forward to continuing to provide our outstanding products and customer service to the people of Salem.”
Also on hand was the JD Power representative, Tripp Watson, who brought all 11 trophies, as well as a giant, inflatable JD Power award. He is traveling around the United States and displaying the trophies in different Ace stores. He is scheduled to travel to 170 Ace stores in 42 states this year.
Watson came away very impressed with South Salem Ace Hardware in particular: “They have a really good gift department. A lot of stores don’t have that. They have big open spaces with lots of room and great lighting.” His praise highlights what makes Ace so special. Unlike most home improvement stores, South Salem Ace provides a gift shop and garden center. The store takes great pride in combining superior amenities with outstanding products and customer service.
In the past, the store been recognized by the Statesman Journal Best of the Mid-Valley for gold in the Home Improvement Store category, gold in the Nursery Garden Store category, and silver in Home Decor Store category. South Salem Ace is already preparing for spring with special events and promotions for paint, gardening and barbecue.
