Ace hardware sells all branded high end expensive stuff

Mr diy have got their sales strategy spot on. They know Malaysians are not like Americans where they have their own garage and like doing their own diy stuff. Americans will buy branded good quality stuff.

Malaysians on the other hand use one item a few times then chuck it away never to be seen again. Thats why they prefer to buy cheap tools . Use a few times only. And thats how mr diy keep getting repeat sales. Ppl will buy the same tool many times since its so cheap.

Quality migt not be the best but it gets the job done

Sometimes I went in didn't find something I want then ended up buying a RM1 meneral water on the way out.

Giant, kedai 1Malaysia and Mydin also bankrupt d even with backing from Gov. Mr DIY is power

just looked him up, he graduated from economics. In any case, this shows two important things:

1. The common myth that successful businessman are "dropouts" is a false one. These are all highly intelligent people who got university education. Dunno why still got people believe bodo ppl can do business

2. Successful businessman are often those put in positions where they have nothing else to lose and hence willing to take risks. These people usually don't have degrees from "engineering, medicine, etc.". Hard to find employment may be a blessing in disguise and spur them to create a successful billion dollar business

Really many congratulations to them. They took a concept born in the early nougties which is to source cheaply from mainland China & turned it into a big thing. Many others who did so back then also succeeded but these guys took it to another level.

quite inspiring

open secret? why dont u show some proof? really puak dengki ni.

kek. really kindergarten kid.

yup

I'm asking for proof , if u can't meaning u r slandering others. Such unethical person u r.

No need to waste time with u. Kindergarten kid like you wont understand how the real life work out there.

very interesting

i love going to mr diy, it’s quite a heaven to see that they have almost everything

but i still prefer ace hardware more la if talking about quality

Then they wouldn't be this rich because they will lose a huge portion of the market.

Huh? Mydin bankrupt???

This is true, but then not all items in Ace hardware is high quality, unless it is something sold in their US stores as well.

Look ace hardware... People priority spending... Won't waste much on tools... Broken then buy new one

I thought rebranded to Pak Grocer?

Is exactly those kind of mom and pop shop that are coming under pressure from guys like mrdiy. The days of mon n pop shop are coming to an end with the capital backing massively scaled retail operations like mrdiy. A similar thing happened decades ago in usa with walmart.

Not everything in Ace Hardware is sold at harga yahudi.

Most of their US imported cleaning products are sold at reasonable price when shopee/lazada sellers are selling them at harga yahudi. Almost half the price of harga yahudi in shopee/lazada.
