In my neck of the woods they are next door to each other,
share the same (overall) parking area. HD was there first.

Interesting experiences/observations: It seems like what one
has (in some cases) the other has a minimal/nonexistent
stock, or flat don't carry it. Several times I have been
forced to go to both just to get all the stuff to complete a
job, neither had a complete stock of all things on my list.
At first I thought it was just a fluke, but since it seems
like it is a 50-50 chance I will need to make two stops to
finish a job.

They both seem to make "mistakes" mixing paint at about the
same rate, however, so I will usually check both anyway,
hoping to get a deal on a 5 gallon pail of paint that is a
close match to one of the colors used on my house. I keep a
baggie in my truck with paint peels off the cans used for
the largest areas to maintain. One or two lucky finds a
year help "ease the pain" of knowing I sometimes HAVE TO go
both places to get materials I need. Ha! regards. Joe.

the pricing's better than out somewhere's all by themselves!
