Lowes' Closings

What was it, 21 in the US? That's not many. Two of them are in NYC. The rest appear to be acquisitions gone bad in Canada and doesn't look like they are even Lowes branded stores.

I added the "many". There are five Lowes in all of Nebraska. The good news is most of the closing stores in the U.S. are within 10 miles of another Lowes. Employees will be given work at those.

I bounce around between 2 Lowes and a Home Depot. If you are serious about building materials HD is the place to go but if you are looking for trim stuff it is Lowes. The lowes that is not across the street from Home Depot does seem to do better. I was not sure why they put them across the street from each other (that big intersection I posted on the roundabout thread). I need something bad to go down there unless I am already there.

I date to see that.

Weird how my tiny little Ace Hardware has more of the actual stuff I use than Lowe's or home depot

I hate to see that. Stinkin' typos

Google says over 2,000 Lowes related stores in the USA. There are maybe

On-line shopping is killing brick and mortar stores. Lowes has something like 7 million items available on-line and no store could carry all of them.

Where I am, the Ace went out of business soon after Lowe's opened.
