Lowes to carry Husqvarna

Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse announced it will add the premium Husqvarna brand to its outdoor power equipment offerings in selected stores.

Husqvarna, one of the world's best-known names in outdoor power equipment, will debut a number of products including chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, and a Swedish-made articulating rider in selected Lowe's stores starting February, 2002.

Husqvarna is the second premium outdoor power equipment brand in recent months to choose Lowe's as its exclusive home improvement retail outlet. In October, Lowe's added Cub Cadet to its offerings. Like independent dealers, Lowe's offers on-site maintenance and repair service for outdoor power equipment.
