New Lowe’s locations set to open in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario

TORONTO – As part of its Canadian growth strategy, Lowe’s Canada announced that it will open three new stores in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario.

The new home improvement stores will offer more than 40,000 in-stock products to help customers build, improve and beautify their homes.

“We are thrilled to be growing our presence in Canada and are always evaluating new opportunities to bring Lowe’s closer to our customers,” said Sylvain Prud’homme, President, Lowe’s Canada. “These three new stores support our ongoing strategy to be the home improvement choice for Canadians and we see tremendous opportunity in these new markets for us.”

The new Lowe’s stores will be located in Lethbridge, AB, Saskatoon, SK, and Sault Ste. Marie, ON.

Summer 2015 - Sault Ste. Marie

The Sault Ste. Marie Lowe’s will have approximately 75,000 square feet of retail sales space, with an adjacent permanent garden centre of approximately 4,400 square feet plus a 6,300 square foot seasonal pop-up garden centre.

The store represents an approximate local investment in excess of $7 million and will create 120 to 140 jobs with an additional 40 to 50 seasonal positions.

The store will be located at 248 Northern Avenue in the city’s north end and is scheduled to open in summer 2015.

Lowe’s opened two new stores in Ontario, in February 2014, in Cambridge and Burlington that featured the company’s new concept store experience. 

Last week the company launched the Lowe’s Holoroom in its North Etobicoke and Burlington stores which is a first of its kind, home improvement simulator that applies 3-D and augmented reality technologies to provide home owners with an intuitive, immersive experience of their room renovation projects.
