Best home improvement store in Owens Cross Roads, Alabama (AL) 2025

This Lowe's is usually well stocked and easy to get to (but with a scenic drive over the mountain). There has always been ample parking and the layout is similar to other Lowe's stores in the area. The store has a great selection of flowers and plants at the appropriate times of the year. There is also a very good selection of top soil, landscaping items, fertilizer, mulch and garden tools. In other words, it is a prime shopping point for the Harry homeowners in Hampton Cove and surrounding areas. On our last landscaping project, which has now extended over three days, I have made four trips to Lowe's. Unfortunately, I had to go to a 2nd Lowe's as the landscaping bricks I was seeking were out of stock at this location. There is a good computer system for checking on availability and the location within the store for finding items. In this instance, there were reportedly 219 of the bricks I wanted in stock. When I got there, there were only two actually available. I checked availability at the Lowe's in SE Huntsville and there were about 1300 reportedly available. So I ended up going to that store for the these items. While spread apart, there are several Lowe's stores in the area. This particular Lowe's, in Owens Crossroads, Alabama was very busy on a Sunday morning with lines at all checkouts and also at the Customer Service desk. Their business model is obviously successful for a reason and they have tapped into a large market for their products and services. They make it relatively easy to find items for a project and in many instances they will arrange for installation of their products. So, the store may be crowded, there are times when popular products will be out of stock but the the selection is good, the open hours are long and getting in and out of the store is easy. ~RalphFLA
