A lot of business people,contractors,etc. that I know, don't like the way that these big box store conglomorates operate (bullying suppliers,low wages,job loses here due to them going to China,etc.), and won't deal with them!

I worked for 3 yrs. at Home Depot, and although they do cater to the small contractor, they certainly do not have anyone qualified to deal with the large companies we are talking about! Most of their management came up thru the retail store segment, not the wholesale building material sector!

Large construction companies,developers,general contractors,etc. do not get their materials from big box stores. Sure, they may have an account for small items, because it's convenient for their employees, but usually that's it. I tend to think that Sulja Bros. and their financial backers feel the same way!

I also am involved in the sign and service business for 30 yrs. now, and mostly deal with business owners,etc., so I know that side of it.
