- Lowe's
Lowe's has been Improving Home Improvement® for more than 58 years.
In 2003, Lowe's earned several notable industry distinctions, including: • FORTUNE® Magazine's 2004 and 2003 Most Admired Specialty Retailer
• Ranked 50 on the FORTUNE® 500 and ninth on the Business Week 50 lists
• 2004 and 2003 ENERGY STAR® Retail Partner of the Year (by EPA and Department of Energy)
Today, there are more than 975 Lowe's stores in 45 states. Lowe's fiscal year 2003 sales totaled approximately US$30.8 billion thanks to the efforts of more than 150,000 employee-owners serving today's DIY and commercial customers.
Although times have changed since Lowe's first opened its doors in 1946, Lowe's values have not - the company remains committed to offering quality home improvement products at the lowest prices, while delivering superior customer service.
Lowe's is currently in the midst of the most aggressive expansion in its history. The company opened 130 new stores in fiscal year 2003, and has announced plans for 140 new stores in fiscal year 2004 and 150 additional stores in fiscal year 2005.
In 2004, FORTUNE® magazine named Lowe's America's Most Admired Specialty Retailer for a second consecutive year. The Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy have also named Lowe's their ENERGY STAR® Retail Partner of the Year for 2003 and 2004 for its efforts to reduce green house gas emissions.
