Lowe’s Shutting Down 34 Canadian Stores

Closures will start in January.

34 stores owned by Lowe’s are slated to be shut in Canada, starting in January.

26 of those stores are Rona locations.

In a statement, Lowe’s Canada president Tony Cioffi said the following:

“While making decisions that impact our associates and their families is never easy, closing underperforming stores is a necessary step in our plan to ensure the long-term stability and growth of our Canadian business. We are taking decisive action to build a healthy business which will provide us with the flexibility to reinvest in our future growth. This includes having a clear strategy for our banners, built on the strength of our Lowe’s, RONA and Reno-Depot brands.”

The company says some employees will be able to request a transfer to other stores.
