The Lowes store in Los banos, has been in my estimation one of the best things that had happened to this community.  Unfortunatly its closing I will consider one of the worst.   It's not just the store closing but the loss of jobs and a quality company with which to do business with.  I have never been a fan of The Home Depot, and will probably go to Turlock to shop for certain items and brands that I want.  From my own personal experience this store was doing more volume than the Depot, and was always there for the community in its support of local teams and business I will be sorry to see it go.
