Crazy thing is.....We've got all 3 here....and our town's only about 40,000 population, with county at about 75k.Lowe's has been here as long as me pretty much, & is actually their 2nd store, 'cause they moved to a different site & built bigger, then Home Depot, which actually sits on spot of the old Furrows Hardware/Home Improvement that went under, and then Mennard's moved in last. I never understood why they moved in when there was already 2 big box stores, and certainly didn't think Home Depot would be the first to close Really strange thing is WalMart actually built a 2nd store here 2 years ago
