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.
