The pick of Cheyenne concludes a nine-month site search, Lowe's officials said.
Lowe's spokeswoman Suzanne McCoy described Cheyenne as "strategically placed in an area in which we plan to build more stores." Tom Whiddon, Lowe's executive vice president of logistics and technology, called Cheyenne "a perfect location for our eighth strategically located distribution center." The area's major pluses, said Whiddon, included the Cheyenne area's strong work ethic and infrastructure, and its enthusiastic community support. Nonetheless, the Cheyenne site custom-fit the specs for the world's 34th largest retailer, company officials said. But with a total population of some 490,000 residents, Wyoming isn't exactly teeming with potential Lowe's customers. This year alone, Lowe's projects opening 115 to 125 new stores. The Cheyenne area's quality-of-life pluses include both historic and natural beauty.
