This Lowes in Griffin, GA deserves 10 stars! 5 stars for product availability/having what I needed in stock, and another 5 stars for having such a well-organized garden center! For the past 2 weeks, I have been searching high & low for Pennington Ultra Green Azalea, Camellia, & Rhododendron plant food. Lowes’ website had all the metro Atlanta area stores showing the product as being available with anywhere from 3-17 bags on hand in store. I placed orders online for curbside/in-store pickup from the following locations, but they would all get cancelled several hours later: Sandy Springs, Chamblee, Norcross, both Alpharetta locations, Edgewood, Camp Creek, & Stone Mountain. I called the Stockbridge store because online it said they had 15 in stock, luckily an employee answered the phone and I had him actually go look, but there were none. I called the Camp Creek location several times; never once did anyone answer the phone there. Lowe’s website said the McDonough location had 16 available on hand, but an employee there was nice enough to call me 20 minutes after I placed my order to tell me she couldn’t find them anywhere. I even went in person to search a few stores myself, but alas, nowhere to be found. I even ordered directly from Lowes online for them to just ship it to me, but when the estimated delivery date arrived it had not even been shipped out yet. This Griffin location was the farthest away from me and my absolute last resort. Online said there were 17 in store. I ordered, and it wasn’t cancelled! In under an hour I received a locker pickup code! I was excited! It took me 1 hour 10 minutes to drive from home to here in no traffic, and another 1 hour 30 minutes to make it back home. I bought 2 bags, and I saw that there were actually 9 more on a top shelf in a box in the garden center, meaning there were 11 in store (not 17). I am just so relieved to finally have found what I’ve been wanting to feed to my blueberries plant! I just wish Lowes would come up with a better inventory tracking system or one that is way more accurate and up to date! I greatly appreciate the Griffin Lowes for not only having what I needed, but a wide array of everything else. It must be a huge store because they had tons of products in the garden center I have never seen in the Sandy Springs and Chamblee locations. All the flowers and plants looked healthy, not dried out and wilted. Even the extra garden center inventory that was boxed up was clearly labeled and efficiently organized. I was thoroughly impressed. No employees were available for assistance or questions, but that was because the store was busy full of customers. Thank goodness for this location! ~Kristin
