Or are they owned by the same people?

I just found it really weird that both sites are down for updates right now.....:shrug7:

not sure if they are owned by Walmart or just in a business deal. I know in our area when a new Walmart is built a Lowes is built really close by.

Do know they honor each others coupons.

Home Depot and Lowes are not the same company.... they are in fact competitors... thats like saying WalMart and Target are the same company

And no.. WalMart does not own Lowes... they are also in fact 2 completely seperate companies... WalMart owns Sams Club

It's possible that the same company services both websites. I know a lot of the natural foods stores that I shop at have websites that are all run by the same web company because they market themselves towards those types of businesses. It's probably the same with corporate accounts like Lowe's and HD.

And believe it or not, Kmart really did buy Sears. Wonky, right? You'd think it would be the other way around.
