      A lot of larger hardware stores have a spot reserved for “pros” (people part of construction companies) to load up large orders

        Construction companies have large orders delivered, and actual pros shop at actual lumber yards, plumbing supply stores, etc.

        “Pro” parking at a big-box home store is for handymen, anybody who needs the building materials from that side of the store, and random DiYers who understand that the alleged restriction isn’t even a real rule to begin with.

      At Lowe’s, at least at mine, the “pro parking” is badged as such for trucks with trailers. It’s over there near the lumber aisle, near the front, and they basically took two rows of parking spaces that face each other and took the little bollards out so you can pull through with a trailer and load reasonably easy.
