Are there any plans for Big Box stores south of 44?
 
Are there any plans for big box stores south of 44? We just bought in the village of Hawkins, and have to drive 30 mins to get to Lowes or Home Depot, or other big box stores for stuff.

Lowe’s on 466A is only about 15 minute drive. I would prefer to drive and have less traffic. 441 traffic is horrible during the winter/spring.

first world problem which will disappear for you in about a year. . . everyone can't have a Lowes within 15 minutes of their house while they move in, and then complain about the traffic after their need disappears. . .

learn to be organized, plan ahead, optimize your trip, and don't go for one item. you can do it,

There is a Lowes in Wildwood on 466A, which is 9 miles from Hawkins. There is also a Walmart in Leesburg, 10 miles from Hawkins.

I might go to Lowe’s or HD once every 4 months. But I make a list. We travel to Disney and Costco every 3 weeks, that drive is more than 30 minutes :clap2:

100% TOTALLY Agree. I'll take the short drive for the occasional trip to a big box store over the traffic and other wonderfulness that draws such as big box stores bring into a neighborhood.

I live in Hawkins and go the Wildwood Lowes. It’s much closer than the one on 441. Takes about 12 minutes.

Ace Hardware in Wildwood, local business and great service.

Sparr Building & Farm Supply across from Brownwood is great for hardware needs.

I am equidistant from the Ace Hardware and Lowes, always try Ace first.
