So I drove by again yesterday and took another good look and again was impressed by the visibility and appearance of the new Lowe's as seen from my car's driver seat. This store really has good visibilty plus the parking lot slopes upward to the store, plus it is surrounded in the rear by an ampitheatre like surround of a green cut-a-away hillside. If Lowe's has any horse-sense they should consider a photo of this storefront for the cover picture of their next annual report. People like to buy with their eyes, and a picture sends a strong message, and this Lowe's looks terrific. With a garden centre on the right, indoor lumber yard on the left and the signature blue Lowe's cathedral roof in the middle, I think maybe this store will become a magnet store.

Maybe other local competitors like Gilford Home Center, Boulia-Gourrell, Wikkes, and Ashland Lumber will have better quality lumber and better quality service, especially for contractors, but Lowe's has visibility and a good location.

Where will all the customers come from? I do not know? Probably, it's another reason for more population growth in the area but what do I know?
So, how do their price and quality for a 4"X4"x8' pressure treated lumber compare with dumpster trawling at the Meredith transfer station........ho-ho-ho?
