One small business went out
that was building construction materials. However Lowes and Home Depot
are still around.

They sell Chinese products on the cheap. They are still pretty slow.
You certainly have no problem finding a parking space. Finding someone
who knows anything in the store is tough tho. They are running pretty
lean.
Their business model is "this is a do it yourself store", If you want
to find something, do it yourself. If you want it tied on your car, do
it yourself. Most HD/Lowes these days even want you to check your
stuff out yourself.

HD/Lowes have excellent customer service. They explain things and help you
pick out the right items. They definitely help you load your car/truck. They
even deliver for a small charge, depending on the item, and they price
match. Not bad.
