A new Lowes just opened around the corner from me in Toronto, Grand Opening today, Bryan Baeumler was giving a presentation, short funny but interesting talk, Q&A session, then autographs. I didn't stay for the autograph, too many in the line, wandered around the store, much nicer and a better selection than the local Home Depot or Rona store. -- Froz... The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

I find Lowes cleaner and better organized and stocked. It is more geared to the home owner, more typical retail. Home Depot is a bit more geared towards contractors. At least in my experience and pretty consistent acros the dozen or so different store sites I frequent.

That's the way it is here also. Besides, being better organized, the
Lowe's closer to me is frequented during the daytime more by local DIY
soccer moms, who are infinitely better to look at when trying to find a
pipe fitting, than by dirty leg subcontractors.

Can be a downright delightful experience in the summer ...
