I love Lloydminster!

Home Hardware Building Centre loves Lloydminster and so should you! We love backyard barbeques, customers chatting in the aisles, small-town charm, the sound of frogs at night, tiger lillie's, prairie crocuses, and wild roses, a farmer’s wave, driving down country roads that go nowhere, thunderstorms, canola fields, reading the paper over espresso in our little coffee shop, ducks in ponds, our fair, the farmers markets, the chuck wagon races...

Lloydminster locals have this to say about why they love living in Lloydminster. ad

You can get most anything you need in Lloyd. Plus it's a farm/ranch community so there is lots of cattle and horse events through the year. - Donna Smith

From out of town, it's closer than Edmonton and has everything in it. It's a beautiful city. You're able to buy a variety of things! - anonymous

The size of the city is just right - it's just great coming back to my home town on my retirement renewing old acquaintances. - Madeline Robson

The shopping! - Donna

I love the bike paths (so much cooler than the street!) and bud miller. It gives me a place to go and brings back childhood memories of swimming lessons. - Kyra Stefanuk

I love the Christmas carols being played downtown at Christmas. It is so homey. - Echo Davidson

What I love about Lloydminster is how it is not to big and not to small. It's big enough that it provides us with all of the stores, centre's, and facilities that we require on a daily basis but yet its small enough that you know your neighbors and that there are more familiar faces than non familiar faces. I love the smell of Lloydminster because it reminds me of my childhood and traveling 8 hours to come visit my grandparents and family who are from here. When I lived in Regina for 2 months it was so big and to many ways to get places and facilities were scattered all over the place that I got lost A LOT. When I moved back to Lloydminster I felt the relief of being home, Lloydminster is my home and there is no other place that I would rather be! - Tara Friedel
