Lowe's Slashes 1,950 Jobs, 20 Stores

It's hard times for hardware folk, with Lowe's announcing that it will slow growth while closing 20 stores and leaving nearly 2,000 people out of jobs. The company shut down half the stores already and plans to whack the others within the next month. It still plans on growing, opening 25 more stores this year, but will open only 10 or 15 stores a year starting next year rather than the 30 it previously planned. More »

Reports state that Hurricane Irene could have done anywhere from $3 billion to $10 billion in damage during her brief trip up the East Coast. That's a lot of plywood, nails, plaster and everything else that will be needed for repair. It's also a lot of coffee for beleaguered consumers. More »
Line Your Samsung Oven With Aluminum Foil, Void Your Warranty

Do you line your oven with foil? Rae does. She always has, and her parents always have. It's such a normal thing to do with an oven, it didn't occur to Rae not to do it. She lined her oven with foil, then popped a frozen pizza in there on the first night after it was delivered. The foil melted the interior oven surface, and now Samsung tells Rae and her husband that they've voided the warranty. More »
After The Storm: Shop At Home Depot, Eat At Waffle House

Which retailers are best at preparing for major disasters? According to some experts, big-box chains like Home Depot and Lowe's earn high marks for responding rapidly to blizzards, tornadoes and hurricanes. Then there's Waffle House, which FEMA administrator W. Craig Fugate cites as being one of the indicators he uses to determine whether a community has recovered from a disaster: If the restaurant is open and serving a full menu, things are okay. More »

Lowe's Wants You To Be Your Own General Contractor At Home

Eric's dad bought his kitchen renovation from a local Lowe's store. What he didn't know is that to wander in and buy services like this from a big-box home improvement store, you personally are in charge of the comings and goings of the different contractors, and must know enough about construction to make them come in the right order. Funny, I thought that was the entire point of going to a big-box store and hiring them to install everything for you. More »

Lowe's Teaches Us: Protection Plans Are Useless, And/Or Lock Up Your Receipts

W. warns us all: don't buy expensive tools and the Master Protection Plan that goes with them from Lowe's. If you do, keep the receipt somewhere that you will absolutely not lose it, like a fireproof safe or stapled to your forehead. How does he know? It all begins with selling a used saw that originally came from Lowe's. More »
Lowes Ups Stinky Drywall Settlement From $4,500 To $100,000

Remember those stories about the drywall sold and installed by big American chains that turned out to be contaminated by noxious sulfur smells? Well, now Lowe's has upped its max payout for affected homeowners from a max of $4,500 in cash and gift cards to $100,000. Replacing the amount of appliances and other possessions irreversibly tainted by the horrid smell can easily reach that one-hundred grand mark so this is a step in the right direction, and lays bare how paltry Lowe's initial offer was. It's just business, baby, stinky, stinky, business. More »
