Lowe's
1- nicer stores, better organized, more homeowner oriented 2- generally cheaper by a small margin 3- I own the chain (just kidding) |

Great question. For me, I do business with both....and of course others. I think Lowes has a better assortment of light fixtures. I like Home Depot for Ryobi tools, and their Black Friday sale is MUCH better than Lowes.
I like that Lowes gives 5% off any purchase if you have a Lowes Card. Since I've have not paid a penny interest on any card ever, (that's in over 40 years), I'll take the 5% off and pay the bill at the end of the month. I really like that Lowe's has the "My Lowes" program, so they remember EVERY purchase you have ever made, so if you need to return it you do not even need the receipt. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I agree that many times the help is not knowledgeable, but I do not need them to be. I usually end up helping folks in the same aisle....especially when I overhear them getting wrong, non-code correct advice from an employee who does not shave yet. I often go to Ace to pick up something quick...might cost a bit more, but I save on time and gas when doing so. I also have an account at Ro-Mac. I have not yet walked into Spurr or Sparr, but I've heard it is a good place. Also, if I have the foresight to plan two days in advance, Amazon brings it to my home. This is almost as good as the question, Wegman's or Publix....! Frank

I was told in a very condescending way...We don't have Wegman's down here yet. Like I was born with that knowledge....A beautiful place like The Villages without Wegman's...that's a sin. It's a couple of bucks more to shop there but you almost want to go food shopping. It really is that nice. Make it happen!

I did not mean to have my comment make the thread go off topic....I apologize.....
Back to the original subject.....Home Depot or Lowes....? I like both for the simple reason that I remember when both did not exist....and with no HGTV or DIY network, there was almost no such thing as "Do it Yourself". No "Youtube" videos to teach you, no internet. Items were not packaged to be helpful or teach. We live in an amazing time. Frank

At one time I prefered Lowes, clean stores and always associates on hand to help. Home Depot stores were nice, but finding someone knowledgeable to help was impossible. Over the past ten years, I think Lowes digressed and Home Depot made the effort to hire and train enough staff to see to customers needs.
Recently I went to Lowes to shop for lighting. The lighting department was in disarray, many displays were hanging from the wall and unlit. I made my purchase at Home Depot. I won't condemn a company for one department in one store. And I will compare prices at Lowes to Home Depot , but my past experiences will have me trying Home Depot first. |

In Ohio there are Menards. You can find everything in their stores.
