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 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.

It was definitely cleaner, but if it was anything other than clean on
opening day, there would be something very wrong, much brighter too.
I didn't need anything in particular that day, so I can't speak to the
stock levels directly, but what I saw looked good, it will take a few
trips over a bit to form a better/different opinion.
