In another thread it was recommend that I use foam backer rod and
urethane caulk to fill a gap between my driveway and sidewalk where
the felt expansion joint has deteriorated.

I went to Lowes, Menards, and Home Depot and they say they don't carry
the product. What type of local business should I shop for backer
rod?

My local HD (Tustion, CA) has the foam backer rod and self leveling
sealant by SIKA

It's stocked w/ cement / masonry stuff

If your HD doesn't, you can get the suff online

I use the large tube (better value) it needs a LARGE caulking gun

backefr rods

I saw 2 sizes yesterday at H.D. near the weatherstripping.

They probably have it and the help doesn't know .. did you look where
they stock the caulk? I find it at the big box stores and at paint stores.
