Lowe’s closing 31 locations in Canada, mainly Rona stores

Home improvement retailer Lowe’s is closing 31 locations in Canada, including 27 underperforming Lowe’s and Rona stores in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador, along with 20 locations in the U.S.

The North Carolina-based chain said Monday morning that the closures are “part of its ongoing strategic reassessment” of its business.

Only two of the closing locations are currently branded as Lowe’s, and both are in Ontario. One in Calgary is a Reno-Depot. The rest are Ronas, the Quebec chain that Lowe’s bought in 2016.

Across all of its brands, Lowe’s currently has 2,390 stores across North America including 630 in Canada.

“The decision to close stores is never one that we make lightly. However, following a detailed business review, we believe that this is the right path for the organization’s future,” Lowe’s Canada’s president Sylvain Prud’homme said.

“Everything will be done to ensure a smooth transition until the stores are closed, and Lowe’s Canada will support impacted employees, including by transferring eligible employees to other locations within our network whenever possible.”
