Of course, you'd be a knucklehead to go to that same place for a can
of standard-color paint that you can easily find on one of the
gazillions of paint sample cards at Lowes.

No, the price difference is less than most people think. If we don't support
the local guy, he won't be there when we do need his expertise.

The primary benefit of Depot / Lowe's is their longer hours. Your local
Sherman Williams store isn't typically open when you find you need paint
at 9pm. Of course better project planning generally eliminates those
problems.
