 PROFILE
Large enough to hold about 50 houses, the stores of Lowe's Companies stock just about everything you need to build those houses, too. The #2 US home improvement chain (after The Home Depot), Lowe's has more than 600 superstores in around 40 states. The company's stores sell some 40,000 products, including plumbing, electrical, and building supplies; hardware; home decor and garden products; major appliances; lumber; tools; paint; and consumer electronics. Lowe's continues to expand from its original eastern US stronghold, adding more stores in the Midwest and West. The company added nearly 40 stores in the West with its purchase of Eagle Hardware & Garden. Employees own about 15% of Lowe's.
