Better Buy: Costco vs. Lowe's

Better Buy: Costco vs. Lowe's

Costco (NASDAQ: COST) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) are both large, national retail chains that were deemed essential services and have stayed open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Costco's bread and butter is, well, bread and butter, and other consumer staples (often sold in bulk), while Lowe's product line focus is home improvement. While they're not direct competitors, Costco's stores sell a good amount of general home improvement products, but Lowe's is the niche reseller.
