MOORESVILLE, N.C., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowe's
Companies, Inc. (NYSE: LOW) today announced all stores in the
United States and Canada will be closed on Easter
Sunday, April 4, to show the home
improvement retailer's appreciation for more than 300,000
associates' continued dedication.
"As we near the one-year anniversary of the pandemic's impact,
we continue to recognize and thank our more than 300,000 associates
who have demonstrated, again and again, their passion and
commitment to serving our customers," said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe's president and CEO.
"Easter Sunday is an opportunity to
spend time with loved ones. As we did last year, we'll work to
ensure associates have the opportunity to make up scheduled hours
to avoid any loss in pay resulting from this well-deserved day away
from work."
In January, Lowe's announced its seventh bonus or special
payment for its hourly front-line associates with an
additional $80 million in discretionary bonuses. That
seventh pandemic-related bonus brought the company's total
commitment to associates to more than $900
million. The company has invested nearly $1.3 billion
in COVID-related support for its associates, communities and store
safety since the pandemic began.
Lowe's is currently hiring more than 50,000 seasonal and
full-time retail associates, building on the more than 90,000
associates hired into permanent roles over the past year. Job
seekers can visit jobs.lowes.com/spring or text "JOBS" to LOWES
