I've thrown plenty of business to both of them - I don't find one overwhelmingly better than the other.
They are both about 5-6 miles away from me, but Lowes is slightly easier to get into, traffic-wise.
Lowes is better lit, which matters to my aging eyeballs. It also seems slightly cleaner, less dingy. If those types of things make me a women, I guess I better start squatting to pee.
Menards irritates me, for some reason. The rebate program bugs me.
There is an Ace less than a mile away - which is very convenient for smaller items. [Reply]
Home Depot is 10 minutes away from me. Lowes almost 30 minutes, therefore HOme Depot gets most of my business
If I want lumber I go to a local to Texas lumberyard, McCoys.
If I want tools, electrical etc, I go to Home Depot
If I want cabinets, cabinet hardware, or plumbing fixtures I hit Lowes [Reply]
