Lowe’s Spring and Summer Growth Includes Expansion in Canada

Lowe’s Canada announced plans to hire 2,000 seasonal employees at its existing 37 Canadian stores for the Spring and Summer season. The company will hold its first ever Canadian National Hiring Day on March 7 at all of their stores.

Lowe’s previously announced it will be opening 25 new stores in Canada over the next three years, including stores in Lethbridge, Saskatoon and Sault Ste. Mari. These three cities have Target stores, who announced January 15 that it will be closing. This is raising speculation that Lowe’s could buy those Target locations, but Lowe’s has not confirmed it will use current Target locations as sites for their future new stores.

Lowe’s also is set to hire 30,000 seasonal employees in the U.S.
