Nationwide, Lowe’s operates over 1,700 stores nationwide and employs approximately 300,000 people. In Tennessee, stores can be found at over 50 locations. Why are Lowe's stores

The company will close down their 1,700 stores in the US to give their workers a day off. Fox 10 Phoenix first reported the news, stating that CEO Marvin Ellison made a statement recognizing workers’ “continued hard work” and allowing them to “spend Easter with their loved ones.”

Lowe’s is closing its stores on April 20 because that is the date of Easter Sunday in 2025. However, Easter Sunday is not a federal holiday, nor is it a day that most retailers are closed. The day is an important day for members of Christian religions, as it is the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
