A tornado destroyed ours in April. They opened the new one Sept. 9. Glad we didn’t lose it for good.

Closing 20 out of 1700 stores. That’s like 1% nationwide.

Here is Florida, as I’m sure is true in much of the rest of the country, it seems that Loewe’s and Home Depot are very often close to each other. I suspect that in some markets, there’s not enough volume to support two stores..or that one has an inherent location advantage..i.e. closer to a highway...this is just careful pruning..and good corporate strategy..

Let me guess ... Lowes doesn’t support democrat politicians.

the home improvement retailer now plans to open far fewer locations in the future

"Let's build fewer together?"

Tip: to get 10% off your next purchase at Lowe’s, get a change of address packet from the post office. It has a coupon.

I shop at Menard’s- I refuse to go where the whole place is signed in two languages.

During the whole recession, lows has been mismanaged, used debt to make it look like it had sales., but not the first company to do this, They build a new store 12 miles from the old new store where I live, why, the population was not expanding. When I need something I go to the little old ladies hardware store next door, to lows and pay more for the item just because it makes me happy.

I quit shopping at Lowes here in Ohio along time ago. I found all the signs in spanish very annoying. They were everywhere.

We didn’t need the one here. I’ve been in there once and didn’t find what I was looking for. They only opened it because Home Depot opened their new store. Keeping up with the Joneses is no way to run a business.
