    Lowe's is way on South Duff (past US 30) and in one of the newer parts of Ames that I don't regularly travel. I was down here to get a part to help fix something at my Parent's home. I'm actually not that handy, but it was the least I could do for my folks' hospitality. As with most big box stores, my visit started with disorientation, followed by exploration, and finally discovery. I also got a chance to look at any other stuff that piqued my interest, but resisted the temptation to buy extra. Checkout was thankfully quick and soon enough I was on my way.

    8/12/25 2:30 p.m…read more We have been here several times and plan to continue to go back. The overall selection is pretty phenomenal, and the store (plus the outdoor side) is quite large. Inventory seems to always be pretty well stocked. The layout can be a little confusing at times, especially if you're trying to find something that you saw on their website. Yes, the aisles are labeled, but they can be a bit off, which adds to the confusion. The store is kept clean and organized; nothing is scattered around or lying in the aisles. The employee interactions that we have had have been somewhat mediocre. The first time we had to ask a question about something, the employee that we interacted with was very pleasant and greeted us with a smile. She walked around to make sure that we found what we were looking for and answered all of the questions that we had. She was very patient with us. The second time that we had to ask an employee a question, he seemed very annoyed that we were even there, let alone asking him a question. He gave us a very simple answer and then walked away without even clarifying what he had just told us or making sure that we found what we were looking for. It seems pretty hit or miss, which is kind of expected at such a large place.

    This is a terrific store with great customer service and seemingly everything that you would need…read morein your home environment. It also has amazing lighting. There is plenty of parking in its private lot, and its location is less than a mile from Highway 30 and the 35/30 junction in Ames. We were impressed by the assistance we received from Gina and Myles. They genuinely cared about our end game and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Gina tipped us off about a product and then walked us through the many options, while Myles was so kind as we thought through key needs. This store really works, and will be a prime option moving forward!

    Wow I was just in the Ames store it was so congested that I could hardly get what I wanted. The…read moreisles had many boxes blocking in and the cart would hardly fit through it. This was not the first time I was in there and it was this way. I stopped in once around 10 am and it was closed. There were 4 girls standing outside smoking cigarettes and they said it was closed for inventory. That was the first time I ever heard a store close for inventory

    I was just going to come here for some poofs for the shower, because at $1.25, it's a good deal. I…read morealso needed a 3 in 1 shower gel that I was going to go to Walmart for. But, what the hell? It's far easier to get to in this store, if they have it, and this masker wants to lower my risks, so checked into these, I did. I got a couple different brands/scents, as I have some issues with scents I can't breath around. I tried the one, WhiteRain, it didn't lather at all. Then I mixed it in a 3-1 water to gel in my dispenser and got much better lather. My hair feels soft. Why didn't I get the women's brand? I have yet to find one. And if there is one out there, the chances are that it is twice the price. Next, I got some comet spray for the tub. It worked ok. All in all, I was thrilled to get the shopping done quickly and without undue exposure to potential covid/polio/mpv. Friendly staff. Good prices. There's even at least one tiktok account that gives daily recipes for products only from dollar tree! Marcy'sDinerTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids. Lot parking. Good value for the most part. Many also review tiktok products(look up I try to let you know if you should buy) I'll definitely be back.
