4worldlovers: In 2022, Laurel Ace celebrated our 101st year in Oakland/on MacArthur Blvd with a Laurel Ace Grows UP Celebration October 28-30, recognizing our new 2nd floor of retail space with a 3-day celebration! We continue to be #AceHelpful with even more products for our neighborhood customers in 2023! HAVE YOU BEEN UPSTAIRS YET?!? We’re delighted to have almost DOUBLED our retail space by converting our upstairs level for more products for you!

October 28-29-30 was our big “Laurel Ace Grows UP” celebration – and we hope you enjoyed the three days of 101st birthday cupcakes, giveaways, demos, visits by community partners UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, the Women’s Cancer Research Center, Our Water Our World, and our Fall Pollinator Event featuring local beekeepers and honey sampling!

As with every month, we have seasonal specials in our monthly Red Hot Buys: CHECK IT OUT

THANK YOU for helping us raise over $12,000 in holiday fundraising for our local CMN Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals in Oakland & SF! THANK YOU! Please consider rounding-up your change through the end of the month as we “Round Up for Reading” in January. When you shop with us this month, we’ll ask if you want to round up your change to buy books for the Ace “Building Blocks of Literacy” program, giving free books to the patients and their siblings at Oakland Children’s Hospital. Those pennies do make a difference for the kids – thank you for helping us help our local CMN hospital!

This store recycles all shrink wrap, contributing to the 780 million pounds that The Home Depot sold to Trex last year. This is used to manufacture composite decking, bringing us one step closer to a circular economy.

LED lights in your local store helped save on energy consumption by 98 million kilowatt hours last year. Many stores also participate in renewable energy initiatives like solar and wind.

The Home Depot's core values are based on doing the right thing for our customers and associates, and this commitment extends beyond our stores to our communities and the environment. We are your partners in environmental sustainability. Learn More.
