Lowe’s Home Improvement

After half a dozen trips to this location, I feel confident in writing my review. The staff have been very friendly and helpful to me. They always ask if I need assistance in finding anything or helping me with locating a cart.
There is of course a wide selection of merchandise with competitive prices to follow. The store is always clean and clutter free. And I love their vast garden center. Which is a well appreciated bonus.

I’ve given this location chance after chance and they fail every time. The staff tends to be on their phones or chatting with other coworkers more often than not and show NO sign of interest when you walk by them. I’ve always had to find things on my own and when I DID ask where something was, I get POINTED in the direction and told where it ‘should’ be. If I DO find what I’m looking for, I’m the one who has to remind the cashier that I have a Lowe’s loyalty card. I truly am made to feel as if I’ve interrupted the cashier’s day. I LOVE Lowe’s as a whole… I’m just not a fan of this location. A better option is the one off of 183 and Beltline… for me anyway.

We were on this side of town and needed to go in Lowe’s. They were still friendly. We got the color paint we were looking for. Then I decided to look at Christmas trees and décor. They are too expensive for their Christmas décor!!! I will not be buying décor here. Stick to home repair Lowe’s

The selection here looks about the same as other large hardware retailers. A rule of thumb is that most of these stores carry Bonnie edibles plants, and those are going to be $ 2.98-$ 3.98 for the smaller ones and $ 5.98 for the larger, gallon-​size ones. There are even larger ones with small plastic cages that are $ 10-​$ 12 as well.
Clay pots will range from $ 3.97 for an 8 in. pot to $ 29.97 for an 18 in. pot. Plastic pots at most general retailers are generally going to be cheaper and about the same price.
I was disappointed in the staff, however. While cordial, when we asked one of the staff members for help, he looked confused and asked another employee, who said, «Why are you asking me?» And she told us to ask the gardening expert (who was already assisting another customer). She did get his attention and he told her he was about to go on break, but we appreciated that he took the time to answer a few of my questions about container gardening. Then he went off to his break. While it’s great to have a gardening expert, 4 out of 4 of the staff present could not answer any of our questions about gardening, which is ridiculous. It also wasn’t clear how often the gardening expert is there. Part-​time? Daily? We had no idea, which was a little scary.
I have yet to stop by the Lowe’s near my neighborhood. I am hoping our experience at that one will be a lot better.

Walked out. Three different people didn’t help us even after we asked. Went to Hone Depot and got the red carpet treatment. Lesson learned.

If you’ve been to one Lowe’s you’ve been to them all. This iteration is located in a strip mall replete with big-​box retailers, consumer good stores and several smaller fast food feeders.
Inside, the high ceilings and long aisles under buzzing fluorescent lights mirror seemingly every other Lowe’s location I’ve been to whether it’s on Lemmon Ave. closer to Downtown or in Detroit, MI.
On my trip one Saturday morning I had the good fortune of interacting with not one but two very helpful sales associates.
My recommendation: Find someone immediately and ask him or her questions to cut down on your time spent wandering the aisles.
