It was built in 1995 as a Builder's Square. When it opened, the little Ace Hardware down the street and a local garden center next door went out of business. Only two years after it opened, the blue and gold markings of Builder's Square were replaced by the green "HQ" of Home Quarters Warehouse. It stayed that way for a couple of years more. Then an even larger store opened a few blocks away, this time with the orange blaze of Home Depot. Within months, the green HQ store was closed. Now the orange store has been flanked by an even bigger, newer store, bearing the blue markings of Lowe's. The orange store is starting to look a little shabby. Ace to Builder's Square to HQ to Home Depot, and maybe now to Lowe's. Surely there's someone with another logo -- purple or yellow or maybe chartreuse -- lurking on the horizon.
