Abstract:

"When a Wilkes County farmer opened his namesake hardware store a century ago in North Wilkesboro, no one could have predicted that Lowe's would go from selling snuff and horse collars to becoming one of the largest home improvement chains in the world." In 2003, Lowe's relocated its corporate headquarters to Mooresville.
