The volume of sales to support a huge location such as Bass Pro/Cabelas cannot be sustained in this area in my opinion.

Home Depot puts Lowes to shame. I went into Lowes with my wife Saturday to buy a shade and needed it cut. Because it wasn't a Levelor they wouldn't cut it because the machine was only there to cut Levelor shades which were 3 times the price. We went to Home Depot, picked out a shade, and the guy cut it right away, no issues.

You're saying Lowe's doesn't cut it for you! I prefer HD as well.

Yes, I prefer HD. As we discuss Lowes they just announced the hiring of JC Penney former CEO. Hopefully he can improve their customer service so they can better compete with Home Depot.

We go to Lowe’s for the 5% off of everything we buy (HD used to give this) but when Lowe’s falls short in an item we head over to HD. Luckily, they are close to each other so it’s convenient to go to either.

I was there a few weekends ago, and was advised this is only on Tuesday now, I was there on a Sunday

By the way, Bass Pro Shops now owns Cabelas. Too bad, in my opinion. I always liked Cabelas, but wasn't impressed with Bass Pro Shops.

Customers get the 5% off every day, but they have to use a Lowe's charge card.

Here is an interesting fact: When I inquired at Home Depot why they didn't offer the 5% discount like Lowe's they said that they did. The manager said when you get to the register just ask for the "Lowe's Discount". I did, and the cashier scanned a bar code she had behind the register that took 5% off of my total. It just seemed odd that Home Depot would handle it that way. I haven't gone there recently but I don't think they do it any more.
