US giant affirms Woolies venture
Dec 13, 2012 (The Australian - ABIX via COMTEX) --
US hardware retailer Lowe's has reaffirmed its commitment to its Australian joint venture with retailer Woolworths. The Masters hardware chain is still in the roll-out stage, however Lowe's is confident that it will fare well against rival Bunnings. Lowe's has a contractual right to sell its 33 per cent stake in Masters to Woolworths after October 2013. Both joint venture partners have dismissed suggestions that start-up costs have been excessive. Woolworths shares closed $A0.30 weaker at $A29.53 on 13 December 2012.
