Article Abstract:

Large retail building supply companies like Home Depot and Lowe's dominate the retail building supplies industry, and their stocks will probably continue to be good investments. Smaller chains such as Grossman's have suffered from loss of market share but they hope to stage a comeback by providing wider choice of materials that appeal to professionals.
