Stores like this have been watching "This Old House" and their
$80,000.00 kitchen remodeling jobs. Then stocking mostly "upscale"
associated things in their stores which have OUTRAGEOUS prices...

At the same time they were doing this, "Joe Homeowner" has been going
broke, having trouble making ends meet, and looking for more "basic"
and inexpensive repair / remodeling options.

Me thinks they would be wise to offer "budget" remodeling products...

Um, they do sell Formica. Of course they contract out granite, if that floats
your boat. It's not sold in the store.
