Lowe's is the new kid on the home-improvement block, and they did their research! I was extremely impressed with their stores, the knowledgeable staff, and best of all, their prices! The isles are clean and neat, product is unpacked, and placed with thought where customers are actually able to reach it, not wrapped up on the top shelf requiring a fork lift! Selection is as good, if not better than my local Home Depot.
They have a good clearance section with nice price markdowns. I found a spare battery for my old Makita drill for $25 when other stores would special order it for $80, crazy! I just wish it was closer so I could visit more often.
