What we liked: First, we definitely get a cart, no matter how little we're trying to find. It makes toddler transporting easier. Then, another golden rule of errand running with toddlers, bring a snack they can munch on. With those two parts of the trip in place, we can head into Lowes. We've figured out that we can do any errand, and that our toddler has much more endurance for the trip when there is a promise of tractors at the end...that's right, tractors! We promise my son that he can have some time to play on the riding lawnmowers on display near the entrance, right across from the lightbulbs if he can be a good boy while we shop. It works like a charm. Conversely, if there are two parents, we have also had one parent hang out with our son by the tractors while the other one does the shopping. Since we've discovered this, our trips to the hardware store have been much more enjoyable! Just wanted to share!
What we would change: As we said, the store as a whole is not particularly kid friendly, and kids have to be careful when looking at the "tractors" because they are items for purchase in the store.

Other fun things to do at Lowe's:
checking out the ceiling fans (what baby doesn't love a fan?)
the door section, my boys LOVE opening and closing the doors
and the lumber section just because there are usually forkilifts to look at
