Ace’s Platinum Performance Retailing (PPR) achievement program provides merchandising initiatives as well as operational training and guidelines designed to help Ace stores offer superior customer service, improve sales and overall store performance.
“Our Five-Star Platinum Ace stores deliver best-in-class customer service in their local communities each and every day,” said Kane Calamari, Ace Hardware’s vice president of retail operations and new business. “We’re pleased to recognize Sneade’s Ace Home Center and its associates for their outstanding achievements, and proud to say they’re a part of the Ace family.”
Stores that achieve Ace’s Five-Star Platinum designation undertake a number of initiatives aimed at perfecting the customer experience in-store; these initiatives focus on training staff associates, providing superior product assortments, and representing the Ace brand in the local market. Five-Star retailers embrace these initiatives and also achieve the highest performance results among their peers.
“At Sneade’s Ace Home Center we pride ourselves on providing the best customer service and a mix of quality brands to fit the needs of our community,” said Dave Sneade, President/Owner at Sneade’s Ace Home Center. “While the ultimate test is the satisfaction of our customers, being recognized by Ace as a Five-Star Platinum retailer validates our team’s dedication and efforts.”
