I have rather biased opinions about home improvement centers since in my early 20’s I worked in lumber and then managed a PH&E department in a Wickes Store in NW Ohio (thereby earned the money to head out west to grad school). Can’t stand Home Depot and haven’t shopped there in years, but it has nothing to do with their politics. I shop at Loews when I need big store selection and pricing. They aren’t as good (or fun to browse in) as a top notch hardware store or an old fashioned hardwood mill, but at least the ones local to me have helpful and well informed staff. The staff and service at Home Depot suck (ironic, eh?).
And Lowes has everything in English and Spanish here in my Montana town
I guess it’s Ace for me
