Rebuttal:
I sympathize with your loss of a great spot to do business. But major retails use that valuable space for "other income", they receive a percentage of sales. Lowes is a terrific company that has fantastic sales. The truth is that Lowes has a high amount of customer traffic and that customer traffic increases in the summer because the majority of people do yard work and home improvement stuff in the summer. I know that since you set up shop in the summer it looks like you brought in 35% to 40% of their business, but I suspect that may not be correct. You said
you will probably lose $4 to $5 million, if your business is really that good then you can make that kind of money anywhere.
I don't think a major retailer would turn down great income. Chances are the company had an Other Income contract with another vendor or your % of income was not as high as what the other Lowes tend to bring in.
It's not good to burn your bridges with a potential partner. If Lowes called you tomorrow to set up a contract what do you think they would say if they knew you had issued this public complaint? What about any other business you want to work with? But it IS your right to air a complaint and I trust you know what you are doing. The only thing that surprised me
is that you published the name of a Lowes employee who didn't give you what you wanted. It takes more than one individual to choose an Other Income vendor so you probably killed the poor messenger and that's a shame.
Anyway, good luck to you. If I were in your shoes I would send proposal letters to the Home Office of Lowes for an Other Income contract and see if you can't give it another go. The CEO does not make the decision, it's left to the Other Income department. It's worth a try, but I wouldn't tell them or any other business that you aired this grievance-it would
harm you.
Good Luck
