Lowe's 2002 Annual Report Download - page 15

Lowe’s began in small-town America, which drove the need
to distribute products efficiently and profitably. The foundation
of that infrastructure is Lowe’s state-of-the-art distribution
network. Nine regional distribution centers efficiently supply
stores from coast to coast. The network allows us to better
manage our inventory investment, minimize freight costs, and
insulate the company from product interruptions during
natural disasters or unforeseen events. With a 10th distribution
center under construction in the Orlando area, and an 11th
planned for the Northeast, the network continues to perform
and grow as our expansion continues across the country.
The right products at the right time in the right store
locations. Together it translates to more convenience and better
service for customers, no matter where they live.
