Their system is weird. When I was at the store and scan the UPC, it showed the store price with same sku/model a different page than the sale page.
The price difference was worth the drive but does frustrate you.

Chevron said unfavorable weather (probably important for EGO) and "conservative inventory policies" were to blame for the their profits diving. Honestly that makes sense. They launched at Lowes in 2020 but didn't really get their own isle at first. There just not popular enough to have an isle the same size as Dewalt Craftsman and Kobalt. I'm sure they lost tons of money stocking 2000k lowes stores only to have their stuff cleared out and new kits brought in before being cleared out repeatedly throughout the year.
Lowes clearly wanted them to be their Milwuakee (the head of Lowes merchandising is the former president of Chevron) but they just didn't put enough into marketing other than shelf space. Which isn't enough for a brand most people have never heard of.
It's a real problem for them because primarily online only tool companies don't do well. Especially not ones trying to be a general power tool company that makes everything.
They really need to figure something out.
It's not only Flex by the way. Skil is disappearing from lowes and even some Ego stuff has been getting huge discounts.
And Floor and Decor cleared out all of their Skil tools and that was the main brand they sold.
Firstly, I'm sure you meant Chervon, not Chevron multiple times. Spell check is probably wrecking havoc.
New rumors say that Home Depot could take back EGO (previously taken by Lowe's from Home Depot). Since EGO and FLEX are both owned by Chervon, FLEX could also move to Home Depot store shelves.
Problem with FLEX is not their performance. Most their tools pretty much top the charts by reviewers in the past several years. It's also not their warranty as they offered limited lifetime warranty year after year and is one of the easiest to deal with (unlike Ridgid's lifetime warranty). It shouldn't be their history/heritage either as they go as far back as DeWalt and Milwaukee to the 1920's in Germany. It's just that they're new to the US. Also shouldn't be because they're owned by a Chinese company as Milwaukee is also owned by a Chinese company. To date, FLEX is still designed in Germany. But I'm sure there are more reasons against them like brand loyalty, price, tool selections...etc.
Whatever the case, hope something pans out for them next year as they're great tools.
