Most of my shopping for stuff to work on my house has been at Home Depot. This weekend though I went to Lowes since I had a 10% of coupon to use. I found some interesting differences.
Lowes - Lots of employees, especially at check out counters. Much brighter and cleaner. Selection of wiring stuff stinks, maybe 6 ft wide. Better layout it seems.
Home Depot - Very few employees, one register. Better selection. Half an aisle for wiring. Random layout almost.
For now Home Depot gets my business, but I may check a few more times.
Yeah we switched to Lowes since they opened a new one near us. Closer and much better parking.
QUESTION,
I HEARD THAT HOME DEPOT AND LOWE'S ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE OR COMPANY, IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THIS?

Steve,
They are definitely not owned by the same company. I have just read both of the companies annual reports and neither indicate a common parent company.

LOWES HAS THE BEST BENEFITS FOR WORKERS IN THE US. NO. 4 HOME DEPOT JUST HAS A FEW MORE STORES. FOR ME I LIKE THE BENEFITS.
