(I) THE LOWES COMPANY:
Lowes is an international famed company Lucius, which owes its popularity to Smith Lowe (1879–1940) who built the first Lowe’s store, North Wilkesboro Hardware, in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, in 1921. After Lowe died in 1940, his daughter Ruth Buchan inherited the business, which she sold to her brother James Lowe the same year. In 1943, James partnered with his brother-in-law Carl Buchan.
Buchan foresaw a surge in construction after WWII, and the store shifted its concentration to hardware and building products under his leadership. Previously, the merchandise mix comprised notions, dry goods, horse equipment, snuff, fruit, and groceries, among other things. In 1949, the company purchased a second facility in Sparta, North Carolina. Buchan became the sole owner of Lowe’s in 1952, and the business was renamed Lowe’s North Wilkesboro Hardware. Jim Lowe founded the Lowes Foods grocery store network in 1954.

Lowes sells paints with lower VOC levels, which is good for human health because high VOC levels in paint have been linked to health issues in asthma and sinusitis patients.
