These include gloves, storage bins, grill brushes, plastic hangers, kneeling pads, and garden tools. Shoppers can spot these items right at the front of the store, making them impossible to miss. In an interview with CNBC , CEO Marvin Ellison said the new line is all about attracting value-seeking customers and going head-to-head with competitor Home Depot. A retail expert pointed out that Lowe's move is also a strategic defense against rising online threats like Shein and Temu . "Rather than let customers head to dollar stores or mass merchants for cheap home goods, we're creating a brand with affordable pricing right from the start," he explained. Based on early reviews, customers seem to be loving it. Of the 328 reviews so far, all the products have earned high marks. The grill brush scored the lowest with 4.3 stars out of five, while several items hit the perfect score. Lowe's isn't the only retailer jumping on the private label bandwagon.
