In 1921, L.S. Lowe opened a hardware store in the small town of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina Named Lowe's North Wilkesboro Hardware. After his death his wife and daughter ran the store until his son was discharged from the Army. In 1952 his son James and James' brother-in-law Carl Buchan opened a second store and three months later a third store was opened. By The post World War II construction boom made the hardware business very profitable, sales were often made directly from a freight car on the railway siding that ran by the store. 1955 Buchan had six stores. 1960 Buchan died, and then the office of the president was created and in 1961 the company was renamed Lowe's Companies, Inc.
