Lowe's operates 1,759 home improvement stores across the US, selling building materials, tools, appliances, and supplies for home repair, maintenance, and remodeling. About two-thirds of products sold relate to maintenance and repair rather than new projects. Roughly 70% of sales come from individual consumers doing projects themselves (DIY), with the remaining 30% from professional contractors and tradespeople — a segment Lowe's has been actively growing. Revenue comes primarily from in-store and online product sales.
