Lowe's closing underperforming stores

Lowe's closures in Feb, 2019

BREAKING TODAY : Lowe's Co's has announced it will close 51 stores by Feb. 1, 2019 in both Canada and the U.S. The North Carolina based big box retailer says closures are targetted at underperforming store locations. Here in Canada, 27 stores, two plants and two corporate offices will close at that time. It includes the Rona on Bath Rd in Kingston. Twenty stores will be locked for good down in the United States.

"While decisions that impact our associates are never easy, the store closures are a necessary step in our strategic reassessment as we focus on building a stronger business," said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe's president and CEO, in a release.

The U.S. big box retailer acquired Quebec-based Rona Inc. in 2016.
