There are a couple of ways to look at this one.
First, we have the store itself. It's big, it's (relatively) new, it's bright, the staff is helpful, you'll find perhaps an even better selection than at other Lowe's locations, and to make things even better, it's not far from Cheeseburger in Paradise, so it's good all around.
Second, we have the location. It sucks. Sure, the parking lot is okay, which is a good thing in the Charlotte area, rapidly becoming known for some of the worst parking in the developed world. But getting to the parking lot is one of the worst experiences ever.
The Sam Furr Road exit has to be one of the worst in the Charlotte area. If you live in the area, then perhaps you'll have a decent time getting into and out of this shopping center. But if you have to use the freeway to get here, cross traffic, and get back out, good luck.
