Home Depot vs. Lowe's: Which is the Better Investment? [View article]
Not sure where everyone lives, but I live in Northern California. I have a Home Depot within blocks of my rental property, so I tend to go there first. We have about 6 Lowes and 7 Home Depots that I shop as i travel. Give me a Lowes any day. Same prices, cleaner stores, you can **actually** buy your whole project one stop as opposed to HD, you can find sales people unlike HD. No contest. If all the Home Depots out here went out of business, I'd be just as happy driving the extra few miles to go to Lowes. In fact, I normally do.
Having said that, there are disparities across the US for different stores. In the Midwest, you have a well-stocked Wallmart on every street corner. I 'd have a 2 hour round trip to go there. ....
Oh yeah.... And in Minnnesota, you have 'Menards'... Now there's a quality big-box home construction outlet. They have everything!
