Location, Location, Location

I have no idea why I'm picking this store, but Lowe's on Battleground at Pisgah Church annoys me to no end.

There are pros and cons of this particular location.

Pros:
  • Very visible and convenient location
  • More traffic passing by than Home Depot on same side of Greensboro.
  • Not a lot of competition near-by.
  • Pedestrian traffic could be possible.
  • Neighborhoods behind location could mean foot traffic because of convenience.

Cons:
  • Only one way in and one way out. The layout of the parking lot and the entrance/exit at stop light make it not a quick way to exit.
  • Home Depot may be a bit out of the way, but it has much more parking than Lowe's.
  • Because the parking lot is so small, even when they are only semi-busy, it looks extremely crowded and could deter customers from stopping.
  • Even though pedestrian traffic could be possible, the traffic on Battleground makes it almost impossible.
I think the location is convenient, but it could be better if there was another way in and out of the parking lot and more parking space in the lot.
