Lowe’s

Such a nice store in Tulare. It’s really nice when you need help and the sales person can actually help you find what you’re looking for. They have a good selection of merchandise. Nice that the people are always friendly. Very clean store.

I spend a lot of time there, finding all my hardware needs, and if they don’t have what I need, they can always find me a close alternative.

I want to like this store so bad but have had some unfortunate luck with customer service. A few years back we purchased a refrigerator for a rental unit here. The employee told my husband the fridge we wanted was out of stock and to check Visalia. When I approached the sales rep we noticed this person was browsing online at vehicle accessories (perhaps on lunch hour? Benefit of the doubt.). I’ve had to run through the store on two occasions because of register price errors/​missing bar codes. On another occasion we needed assistance and I asked a gal walking my way if we could get some help and the gal walked right past me (perhaps she didn’t hear me… but to not even acknowledge a customer stopped in the middle of the aisle looking directly at you? Not even a simple Hi.) Lowe’s was always my favorite home improvement store until we moved to Tulare.

Lowes is your standard big box home improvement retail store which manages to raise the standard with superior customer service.
I had visited my local Lowes, as well as my local Home Depot searching for a dog door to allow my small dog to go in and out of the house all day long when I am gone I couldn’t find the right size door at either of them, and when I asked someone at the Home Depot, they told me that what they had out on display was everything it was possible to get.
I was in Tulare for the day and decided to try the Lowes out on a whim to see if they had any other sizes or brands in stock. A friendly and helpful employee walked me all the way back to the dog doors and helped me see what my options were. He got a book out and told me about the other options that he could order for me. We ended up finding something in stock that would work for me, so I went ahead and purchased it here and took it home to Bakersfield. It turned out to be the perfect thing for me and my dog and we are both much happier now.
Lowes carries everything the average homeowner might need for projects around the house: plants, gardening supplies, lighting, batteries, closet organizers, paint, wallpaper, cabinets and fixtures, hardware, sprinklers, and more.
It also carries things a contractor might need such as plumbing supplies/​pipes, lumber, bricks, tile, drywall… You name it, if it goes somewhere or fixes something in your house you can probably find another one here.

Typical Lowes with typical home improvement stuff. Pretty much the same thing as Home Depot across the street but with a more useful staff.

Awesome lowes store, clean, friendly staff and good deals.
