Now for an opposing viewpoint. Before Lowes came to Jefferson City, Missouri, if you wanted home improvement materials you had the locally owned Tharp Lumber and Fab Home Improvement. Both of these business made the majority of their money from contractors. Because of this both of them closed at noon on Saturday and were closed all day on Sunday. In addition the contractors always got the better deal and the better picks of lumber. I understand that you cater to the big buyer, but at least they could have shown some interest in selling to the everyday home improvement guy. 2 years ago Lowes came to town. Hired around 150 local people and have great weekend hours. Good prices. So now the other two "locally owned" companies can no longer rape the homeowner. They left such a bad taste in my mouth I hope they both go bankrupt.
