I became distracted by their kitchen aisles, densely stocked with colorful dishware, gadgets, specialty jams, sauces, condiments, pickled products and seasonings. Dishtowels? Yes. Stovetop popcorn poppers? Yes. Need some tea with that tea cup? Yes! It's a store within a store. Maybe it's a good time to reuse that gift basket and package up items for a foodie, host or bride. I started my holiday shopping here and took home a cute set of cat pinch bowls.

Although the nice gentleman reminded me he was closing in 5 minutes he asked another employee to get my dirt and he di no problem. I would have given 5 stars if I had not been told next to go to the other location because they were open later. I will still continue to buy my mushroom compost from this location but hopefully they will keep their suggestions to themselves.

The EXCELLENT customer service experience of my life - Thank you, Jackie Bradford!…read more I rarely write reviews, but this experience deserves every single star and more. Our kitchen countertop project started in May 2025, and what should have been a simple project turned into months of delays, frustration, and disappointment. After so many calls and setbacks, we honestly felt defeated and were ready to give up. Then we met Jackie, and everything changed from night to night today. Jackie is, without question, the EXCELLENT customer service professional I have ever worked with. From the moment she took over our case, she treated our project as her own. She was professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, transparent, and incredibly dedicated. She worked tirelessly to help resolve an issue that had been ongoing for months and successfully secured our refund when we had already lost hope. Her communication was excellent at every step of the way, and her persistence made all the difference. She went above and beyond in every possible way. If it had not been for Jackie, we would have walked away from this project and from Lowe's with a very negative experience. Instead, because of HER, we now feel grateful and truly supported. Lowe's is incredibly fortunate to have someone like Jackie on their team. She is an absolute star and deserves recognition for her outstanding service. Jackie Bradford! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best of the best! Alan and Cristhy Wilson

This review is specifically towards Lowes Installation Service…read more This is the WORST service ...very un-professional sub contractors. Lowes does not own installation team, but rely solely on subcontractors. 1.We paid Lowes full price for installation and was assured scheduler will call within 48 hours 2. Had to call Lowes after 96 hours waiting...who gave me subcontractor number.....who happens to be in LA, while I am located in SF bay area 3. The subcontracttor NEVER called, I had to call 3-4 different times to be "assured" installer will call me 4. After 4 times, they gave installer number ( name AJ )....who never ever answered the phone 5. Finally after lot of escalations by Lowes install team, so called AJ called this morning telling ( not asking) that he will visit between 100 and 130 6. AJ does not have simply courtesy to call/text that he is running late 7. Shows up at 345....one look and says he can not install garage door opener ...the reason he gave is power outlet point is not exactly above opener motor. 8. Asked if its building code, he explained Lowes prohibits to install if power outlet is not directly above motor....and he will call Lowes to cancel installation. VERY unprofessional installer...but thats only installer Lowes has. Anyways....stay away from Lowes Install....far far away,....
