Lowe's makes a U-turn in the United States: hours remain and it's official

Lowe's, one of the most popular home improvement store chains in the United States, has announced it will close all its 1,700 stores for 24 hours. The suspension of operations will take place on Easter Sunday, affecting thousands of customers who usually shop on the holiday. Meanwhile, its main competitor, Home Depot, will remain open as usual, offering customers the opportunity to continue their shopping.

Lowe's and its Easter closure

Lowe's closure is scheduled for Easter Sunday: this decision is in line with the chain's intention to give its employees a well-deserved break. Lowe's will join other major stores that also temporarily close during the holiday, such as Costco and Sam's Club. However, some retailers like Home Depot, Walmart, and Target have decided to continue operating without interruptions.

Despite being a common decision among some retailers, Lowe's temporary closure has caused some discontent among customers. Although the store will offer some alternatives like online shopping, many prefer to visit the store in person, especially during weekends.

Stores that remain open

Unlike Lowe's, Home Depot has confirmed that its 2,012 stores will continue operating normally during the Easter weekend. The home improvement chain has chosen to keep its doors open so that customers can continue with their projects, taking advantage of seasonal offers.

Consumers in California, Texas, and Florida, where the largest concentrations of Home Depot stores are located, will be able to access home improvement products without interruptions. This will give them an advantage over Lowe's, which will be closed for 24 hours. Additionally, Walmart, Kroger, and Trader Joe's will also be open on Easter Sunday, allowing shoppers to continue with their usual purchases.

Store hours on Easter Sunday

Information about store hours on Easter Sunday varies depending on the retailer. In general, the following stores will be open:

Open on Easter:

CVS, Dollar General, Whole Foods, Home Depot, Walmart, Kroger, and Walgreens.

Closed on Easter:

Lowe's, Costco, Aldi, Sam's Club, Target, JCPenney, Kohl's, Macy's, Michaels, and H-E-B.

The exact hours of each store may vary depending on the location. Shoppers are advised to check with their local stores to see if they will be open before making their purchases.

In conclusion, while Lowe's opts to close on Easter Sunday, other major chains continue their operations. This may affect the shopping of those who relied on Lowe's for last-minute projects. Customers should be prepared for these temporary closures and check the available alternatives.
