I don't normally review non-food related places or big chain stores, but I want to say that the service as Lowes is awesome.
The stores are cleaner, and the staff are so much more friendlier than at Rona and Home Depot. They also know their way around the store very well.
I wish I caught the name of the one fellow who helped me. I was prepared to go searching for an item all by myself, but he unexpectedly came up to me and asked if I needed help. I showed him a picture of what I needed and he personally led me to the aisles. Note: he did not just tell me what aisle they'd be in and gave vague pointy directions... He walked me over to the item! Sadly, they didn't have what I needed in stock, but I was impressed with the service and friendliness. We also ordered a microwave hoodfan and were impressed with how easy the process was.
I definitely recommend Lowes if you want an easier shopping experience!
