Lowes is coming, Lowes is coming! I know...for some of y'all you're thinking, "Geesh, is this all it takes to get Snowman EXCITED?" :ggreen: The answer is "HEL* YES!" :ggreen:

We have 4 Lowes, 3 Home Depots and a few Wendy's. :lol:

I also prefer Lowes over Home Depot, Home Depot is just so disorganized and besides Lowe's is closer to my house.

Wow I guess us city folk are spoiled huh? Yeah there are a few around but Home Dip-it (as we call it) is closer they just built it like last year. There are also 2 Wendys within 5 minutes of my house.

I like Home Depot and Lowes and we also have all of the places mentioned above. I guess you get used to them because I didn't think we had anything special. lol

Sierra Vista has a Home Depot and Lowes just opened here. We've had a Wendy's for a long time (and our original Mickey D's is a historical landmark since it was the first ever Mickey D's to have a drive thru in the Country).

Lowes around here just opened about 2 years ago, I love it! Now if Hobby Lobby would open here I'd be in Heaven!

A Hobby Lobby would be nice, too! I guess that I can take what I can get for a town with only 8,000 people. A Walgreen's would be nice, too.

We are getting a La Quinta soon. :) I love watching my town grow.

Our Lowe's is only about a year old.

AZ - I can totally relate....we live in Homestead, FL, and we're getting a Lowe's sometime here in the future (they haven't even laid the foundation yet). It's pretty cool, especially because there are only 1 or 2 others in the county and they're WAYYYY up in the north. Always nice to have a choice between Lowe's and HD....

...and that's the good news! Problem is Mr. Snowman, the more that Show Low and Pinetop begin to look like everywhere else, the more of us flatlanders will find their way to your paradise in the White Mountains.

With all due respect Mr. Frank, sir, seems I've seen plenty of real men use our local Lowes, too.

Within walking distance of our closest Home Depot is a Wendy's, a Burger King, and a Mickey D's. Those seem to attract a lot of real men for breakfast and lunch on workdays too!

Just for the ladies - Lowe's has been looking men that shop there. If I were single, I would be "shopping" at Lowes.

:P

I like Lowe's better than Home Depot because its closer and its not as crowded. I have a panic attack trying to get out of Home Depot's parking lot. Lowe's customer service is a little friendlier than the Home Depot near by but they seem understaffed and the sales people are naturally overworked.

Well I'm a Home Depot shopper only because Home Depot is closer than Lowes. I know the people and like them.

They are building a Lowes closer to me so I may change my mind. (That's what women do!!!!!)

I'll let you know. We also have a Wendy's, Mickey D, Burger King but best of all we have an Arby's. I love their roast beef sandwiches. Actually we don't have a Dairy Queen and that is my favorite.

Congrats Dennis!

We have lowe's, home depot, ace hardware, sam's, bj's, costco, target, super target, target great land, walmart, super walmart, kmart, almost everything. Raleigh is one of those ideal 'demographic' area's for businesses we usually get all the prototypes before anyone else. We got the first McCafe McDonalds, drive thru only wendy's etc. I wish we got the Ikea, but Charlotte won out :(
