Lowe’s offers Build and Grow clinic workshops to children on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. The workshop is free and allows children to build a new object by hand each clinic. Lowe’s was founded in 1921 by Lucius Lowe in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, as a small hardware store. Lowe died in 1940 and the business was sold to his brother Jim Lowe. Carol Buchan became owner of the business in 1952 and stores were opened in Durham, Asheville, and Charlotte in 1955.

Lowe’s grew from one small-town hardware store in North Carolina to one of the largest home improvement retailers in the world. Then and now, we’re committed to helping homeowners, renters and Pros improve their homes and businesses. Today, with headquarters in Mooresville, Lowe’s is the second largest home improvement retail store in the world and seventh largest in the United States. Lowe’s opened its first store in Canada in 2007 and Mexico in 2010. Lowe’s stores have over 40,000 products, and the company remains dedicated to low-priced home improvement products and excellent customer service.

Many of the larger stores began to feature garden areas up to 30,000 square feet. Lowe’s strategy was to expand marketing to consumers while still maintaining a large clientele of contractors. Lowe’s concentrated on selling appliances, hardware, and construction materials. The store was remodeled after a supermarket with seasonal products placed at the front of the store. Interior and exterior items were placed in the front while tools and basic items were placed in the back.

During the next two decades, Lowe’s underwent rapid expansion, and by 1979, Lowe’s was a member of the New York Stock Exchange. Together, we deliver the right home improvement products, with the best service and value, across every channel and community we serve. Every aspect of our business and strategy is rooted in that mission.

In this way, most consumers who came to purchase one product would have to walk past many items and hopefully purchase more. A store in Morganton, North Carolina was the first to adopt this plan. The new marketing campaign also included large posters that displayed household items in use, as opposed to signs. Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

By the mid-1980s more than half of Lowe’s sales were to non-professional contractors. In 1982, Lowe’s achieved its first billion dollar sales year and earned a profit of $25 million. Products expanded with more tools, hardware, paint, plumbing and stereo equipment.
